Dame Sue Black is an internationally renowned forensic anthropologist and human anatomist. She has lived her life eye to eye with the Grim Reaper, and she writes vividly about it in this book, which is part primer on the basics of identifying human remains, part frank memoir of a woman whose first paying job as a schoolgirl was to apprentice in a butcher shop, and part no-nonsense but deeply humane introduction to the reality of death in our lives. It is a treat for CSI junkies, murder mystery and thriller fans, and anyone seeking a clear-eyed guide to a subject that touches us all.

I wanted a science book about forensics. I got a mostly-memoir instead.

Scottish narrator needed
Revisado: 01-29-20
This was a fantastically interesting book and the woman who narrated did a fine job. However, this is the story of a Scottish woman’s experiences and should not have been narrated by an American woman. All the little linguistic quirks and expressions sounded SO weird!

Red Sox Nation is the finest, most comprehensive history of this storied franchise, told from the point of view of the people who lived it. From every disappointment to each triumph, culminating with the 2004 World Championship, Red Sox Nation takes you into the dugout and onto the field to relive each moment.

Great story, terrible narration
Revisado: 12-24-17
The moral of the story is, don’t narrate your own book. Peter Golenbock is an amazing writer but I almost had to turn this off. He mispronounces names (Mientkiewicz being the worst—it’s Ment-KAY-vitch, not mee-ENT-kuh-wix, as every Red Sox fan knows). He doesn’t stop for periods or commas, but he sure stops when he has to turn a page, even if the pause makes zero sense to someone listening. And yes, this is nitpicky, but no one is a “Red Sock” fan or a “Red Sock” player. It’s RED SOX. I highly recommend getting this book in hard copy. Great writing. Just don’t try to listen to it.

Not worth it
Revisado: 07-11-16
Maybe I'd have liked the story better in regular book form. This has to be the worst narrator I have ever heard. The story was a takeoff on Romeo and Juliet and just felt very forced most of the time.

Hailed by critics as an American masterpiece, David McCullough's sweeping biography of Harry S. Truman captured the heart of the nation. The life and times of the 33rd president of the United States, Truman provides a deeply moving look at an extraordinary, singular American.

Excellent
Revisado: 06-16-16
As always, David McCullough brings history to life. The story was fantastic and vivid, and Nelson Runger really grew on me. At first I wasn't overly keen on him, but by the end I was listening to the book in little pieces because I didn't want to come to the end of his reading. The perfect voice for this story. He even did some of the historical voices--and somehow it really worked, without sounding overdone or silly. I highly recommend this book!

Following Jane from her childhood as an orphan in Northern England through her experience as a governess at Thornfield Hall, Charlotte Brontë's Gothic classic is an early exploration of women's independence in the mid-19th century and the pervasive societal challenges women had to endure. At Thornfield, Jane meets the complex and mysterious Mr. Rochester, with whom she shares a complicated relationship that ultimately forces her to reconcile the conflicting passions of romantic love and religious piety.

Thandie Newton is terrific; too bad Jane Eyre is excruciating
Revisado: 05-23-16
The only reason I made it to the end of this preposterous book is because Thandie Newton was reading it. The story is ridiculous. But Ms. Newton has a beautiful voice, a fantastic talent for doing different accents and voices for different characters, and I wish she'd do more audio books.
