Historia
If society collapsed, could you survive? When Morgan Carter's car breaks down 250 miles from his home, he figures his weekend plans are ruined. But things are about to get much, much worse: the country's power grid has collapsed. There is no electricity, no running water, no Internet, and no way to know when normalcy will be restored - if it ever will be.

Lord help us all! This all sounds so possible...
Revisado: 03-12-14
What made the experience of listening to Going Home the most enjoyable?
I could relate so well to many of the characters. How human kind will react in certain situations. Human nature and less humane nature are found in us all at times.
What did you like best about this story?
Action kept me tuned in and wanting to know what's next.
What does Duke Fontaine bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I enjoyed his narration and thought he did an excellent job. He sure fit the bill!
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Today you can be almost anywhere in hours but to get home you must first survive.

Historia
On the treacherous streets of Riverside, a man lives and dies by the sword. Even the nobles on the Hill turn to duels to settle their disputes. Within this elite, dangerous world, Richard St. Vier is the undisputed master, as skilled as he is ruthless--until a death by the sword is met with outrage instead of awe, and the city discovers that the line between hero and villain can be altered in the blink of an eye.

Warning for those who are uneasy with same sex sex
Revisado: 07-10-13
What disappointed you about Swordspoint?
None of the reviews I read mentioned same sex sex scenes.
Has Swordspoint turned you off from other books in this genre?
Only if they have same sex sex scenes.
Have you listened to any of the narrators’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Haven't listened much - chapter 7 or 8 so far and I've enjoyed the performance style.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Swordspoint?
I wouldn't say any need to be cut for those who aren't bothered by same sex sex. It just unsettles me and I wish there was a warning so I could move on...
Any additional comments?
I'd like a refund!

Would you be willing to try another one of Jessica Almasy’s performances?
Yes. I enjoyed the WWW series.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
Got as far as chapter 7 but it just was not for me. Maybe someone else...

Zombie's that can live among us... hmmmmmm
Revisado: 05-24-13
Would you consider the audio edition of My Life as a White Trash Zombie to be better than the print version?
Haven't read the print version.
What other book might you compare My Life as a White Trash Zombie to and why?
If I had to compare to another book it would be Pride and Prejudice and Zombies but the characters in this book are able to live among us!
Have you listened to any of Allison McLemore’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No. But she did a fine job.
If you could rename My Life as a White Trash Zombie, what would you call it?
The name is perfect and "made me look"...

Revisited an old favorite!
Revisado: 04-24-13
What made the experience of listening to The Clan of the Cave Bear the most enjoyable?
I loved being transported back in time to an age when understanding was a new concept and tribe and obedience to the law was essential to life. Makes you think...
What did you like best about this story?
The heroine stood up for her beliefs and survived to prove her justice.
What aspect of Sandra Burr’s performance would you have changed?
She did a fine job. I have been spoiled to others abilities to really characterize.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I pretty much kept my head phones on for hours and listened in my car every chance I got!
Any additional comments?
I read this series years ago after being told of it by a sibling. Several in my family enjoyed it and consider it a classic. I LOVE the Audible aspect of listening on my I-pod as I go about my day and was glad to revisit this old friend of a book!

A Downtonlike story read by my favorite narrator?
Revisado: 04-08-13
Is there anything you would change about this book?
I found it a light, fun tale. Just what I needed!
Would you be willing to try another book from Fay Weldon? Why or why not?
I plan to check in to her other offers.
What about Katherine Kellgren’s performance did you like?
I was saddened to read a poor review by someone else which prompted me to write one myself! I LOVE Katherine Kellgren and since falling in love with her Bloody Jack characters have searched her out and will continue listening and enjoying her narration! Keep up your excellent work Katherine, I enjoy you SOOOOO!
Do you think Habits of the House needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
Sure.

Historia
Greece in the age of heroes. Patroclus, an awkward young prince, has been exiled to the kingdom of Phthia to be raised in the shadow of King Peleus and his golden son, Achilles. “The best of all the Greeks”—strong, beautiful, and the child of a goddess—Achilles is everything the shamed Patroclus is not. Yet despite their differences, the boys become steadfast companions. Their bond deepens as they grow into young men and become skilled in the arts of war and medicine—much to the displeasure and the fury of Achilles’ mother, Thetis, a cruel sea goddess with a hatred of mortals.

PLEASE advise of sexual content!
Revisado: 01-07-13
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
I only wish there had been even a HINT regarding the sexual content in this story so I wouldn't have used one of my precious credits on it. I should have read ALL the reviews instead of the first few. Will do that from now on!
What was most disappointing about Madeline Miller’s story?
I prefer heterosexual content.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
N/A
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
Couldn't finish it...
Any additional comments?
There should be a sexual content rating system.

Cut me in two, would you?
Revisado: 02-24-12
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Yes. With a disclaimer that it stops just as the story is built and you need to go ahead and purchase part 2 or don't even start it.
Would you recommend Lionboy to your friends? Why or why not?
Same question?
Did Simon Jones do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
I appreciate the skill it takes to create characters in audible form and he made it work here.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
As long as it didn't end where the book did...
Any additional comments?
On to part 2...

Where does The Julius House rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Thank you Charlaine Harris for creating these stories for me to submerge in to. I enjoy your characters and appreciate sharing their lives without having to give advice or listen to their problems. I LOVE being in total control of my visits with them and that makes our times together most enjoyable!
