Fantastic Series
Revisado: 06-22-15
Would you consider the audio edition of Dragonfly in Amber to be better than the print version?
Yes! Because the book is so long, it's fantastic to be able to "read" this book while on my morning commute.
What does Davina Porter bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Great narrator who really helps bring the world alive.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Wish I could but WAY too long. But that's a good thing because it was a little treat each day.

For 20 years Claire Randall has kept her secrets. But now she is returning with her grown daughter to Scotland's majestic mist-shrouded hills. Here Claire plans to reveal a truth as stunning as the events that gave it birth: about the mystery of an ancient circle of standing stones...about a love that transcends the boundaries of time...and about James Fraser, a Scottish warrior whose gallantry once drew a young Claire from the security of her century to the dangers of his....

Why we think it’s a great listen: An all-time Audible favorite that mixes historic fiction, adventure, and romance with one of the most fascinating literary devices: time travel. Outlander introduces an exhilarating world of heroism and breathtaking thrills as one woman is torn between past and present, passion and love. In 1945, former combat nurse Claire Randall returns from World War II and joins her husband for a second honeymoon. But their blissful reunion is shattered....

Amazing Series
Revisado: 06-22-15
Where does Outlander rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Definitely one of the top. The size of the books have put me off reading them for a long time so the audiobooks are a godsend.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Claire. She's just such a fascinating, strong character.
Have you listened to any of Davina Porter’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Just watch the show on Starz.
Any additional comments?
Great book and very well read.

It has been passed down through the ages, highly coveted, hidden, lost, stolen, and bought for vast sums of money. Fragments of this Great Secret have been found in the oral traditions, in literature, in religions and philosophies throughout the centuries. In this audiobook you will discover the Secret, and you will learn how to have, do, or be anything you want.

If you have not read anything about the Baudelaire orphans, then before you read even one more sentence, you should know this: Violet, Klaus, and Sunny are kindhearted and quick-witted, but their lives, I am sorry to say, are filled with bad luck and misery. All of the stories about these three children are unhappy and wretched, and this one may be the worst of them all.

Hiring a professional narrator.

What she uncovers sends shock waves through the corridors of power. The NSA is being held hostage…not by guns or bombs but by a code so complex that if released would cripple U.S. intelligence.

Realizing Dan Brown rewrites his old books...
Revisado: 06-22-15
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Not really... same old story, no surprises.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
Predictable.
What about Paul Michael’s performance did you like?
Well read.
Could you see Digital Fortress being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
Sure.
Any additional comments?
Not a bad book just incredibly predictable and if you've read any of Dan Browns other novels (excluding the dating book he wrote under a female pen name - look it up if you don't believe me) you've pretty much already read this one.
