Why we think it’s a great listen: When it comes to author/narrator pairings, nobody tops James Lee Burke and Will Patton in the Robicheaux thrillers. Beloved Burke hero Detective Dave Robicheaux here returns to New Iberia to solve a series of grisly murders. Seven young women in neighboring Jefferson Davis Parish have been brutally murdered. While the crimes have all the telltale signs of a serial killer, the death of Bernadette Latiolais, a high-school honor student, doesn’t fit.

Dave and Clare just don’t disappoint. Yet again another incredible story. And a beautiful tie for me to my now gone Mom who also loved these guys read by Will Patton.

Celebrated author and newspaper columnist Rick Bragg brings us an ode to the stories and history of the Deep South, filled with “eclectic nuggets about places and people he knows well” (USA Today) and written with honesty, wit, and deep affection. A collection of wide-ranging and endearingly personal columns — from Bragg’s love of Tupperware (his mother preferred margarine tubs and thought Tupperware was “just showing off”) to the decline of country music, from the legacy of Harper Lee to the metamorphosis of the pickup truck.

Phenomenal story GREAT narration
Revisado: 01-07-23
I usually cringe when I see that an author is narrating his own books with two exceptions… Bill Bryson, and Rick Bragg.
The stories here are timeless, and Rick’s rich southern voice breathes life into each tale.
I lamented the coming of the end and wanted it to keep on going.

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to find yourself strapped to a giant rocket that's about to go from zero to 17,500 miles per hour? Or to look back on Earth from outer space and see the surprisingly precise line between day and night? Or to stand in front of the Hubble Space Telescope, wondering if the emergency repair you're about to make will inadvertently ruin humankind's chance to unlock the universe's secrets? Mike Massimino has been there, and in Spaceman he puts you inside the suit.

A most excellent tale written and read by the astronaut himself. I've known of him as the Hubble spacewalker guy. Many will recognize him as the actual astronaut from Big Bang Theory who taunted Howard and named him "Fruit Loops".
I blew through it in two days & didn't want it to end.

the narration actually wasn't too bad
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

He's done better
Revisado: 10-19-16
Craig Johnson shows us some brilliant moments with some nice phrases. The story line isn't nearly as tight as some previous stories. I found myself just wanting this one to wrap up so I could get on to my next book.
George Guidall, as usual nails the performance. My mom swears she would listen to George read the phone book.
I suspect Johnson is devoting more time to the TV series than to writing his books these days.
If you are a die hard Longmire fan, maybe listen. If you are a new listener, start elsewhere.

You may be interested in - or have even done some research on - bone broth. May you have been gaining bits and pieces of information, but can't quite put it all together. This audiobook will give you a quick overview, as well as some recipes, if you are interested in beginning to incorporate it into your diet. You do not need to be on any primal diet to gain the benefits of bone broth.

Translated BADLY into English from ???
Revisado: 04-11-16
What disappointed you about Bone Broth: A Complete Overview?
The narrator does her best to make it sound as if she's reading from a well written book. However, there is little doubt in any single sentence that this was very poorly translated from some other language. For example, this recipe
"Why not try bone broth out. It will assume a part in keeping up your liquid adjust and additionally give you a different option for you from sweet and sugary things like gels."
(recipe quoted)
Fixings:
4 cups water
1 tsp salt
2 tablespoons apple juice vinegar (it's apple cider vinegar)
2 EXTENSIVE onions, unpeeled and coarsely slashed
2 carrots, scoured and coarsely slashed
3 celery stalks, coarsely hacked
2-3 garlic cloves, daintily crushed
..
What do you think your next listen will be?
anything but this
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Kris Keppeler?
Keppeler did ok with what she had
What character would you cut from Bone Broth: A Complete Overview?
the translator who robbed this of a decent english translation... hideous job

It's a RAH!
Revisado: 03-01-08
As I write this I'm amazed at this review process. I JUST moments ago clicked on 'Add to cart'. I've not yet even downloaded the audiobook files, yet I'm writing a review. Why you might ask? Simple, it's a Heinlien. For those of you who understand, that makes sense. For the rest of you, read on McDuff.
Robert A Heinline was my introduction to science fiction, as perhaps he was yours, almost fifty years ago (I'm barely 50). RAH is the standard against which I judge all science fiction. I have read this book many times in pulp, I know what's coming as well as I know my own comfy pillow.
My sole criterion when a new Heinlein comes out is simple - who's the narrator and can I stay awake through the narration. In all honesty, that always secondary and even a bad narrator rarely keeps me from a RAH classic. This narrator, previewed in the sample seems up to the task.
If you're already a Heinlein fan, quit reading. My review is already approacing 1000 words and you're wasting your time. You know you will buy. If you're new to Heinlein, have I got a treat for you. Pick ANYTHING with his name on the title and settle in for the ride.

The Ankh-Morpork Post Office is running like...well, not at all like a government office. The mail is delivered promptly. Postmaster General Moist von Lipwig, former arch-swindler and confidence man, has exceeded all expectations - including his own. So it's somewhat disconcerting when Lord Vetinari summons Moist to the palace and asks, "Tell me, Mr. Lipwig, would you like to make some real money?"

Could be better, but it's still Terry
Revisado: 10-05-07
There is not a single Terry Pratchett novel on Audible that I have not purchased. There are darned few that have not made very high marks in my opinion. THIS one however feels like he simply had a contract obligation to meet and 'hammered one out'.
Don't get me wrong, there are bright moments that sing out "Terry's still got it!". However, this is far from his best.
A book by Terry though, remains a book by Terry and as such is still, far and away my favorite book of the past few months. It did NOT however meet the expectations that I had when I first saw a new Pratchett on the shelf.
So be it... listen if you are a fan, you know you'll be sorry if you don't - just don't expect this to be as good as some others.
