The work tells the story of Jane's early life, her experience at Lowood School and as a governess. Her refusal to accept Rochester's love on any but her own strictly moral terms is a passionate cry for independence.

I loved the story, but all the more due to Ms Stevenson’s reading of it

In Inside Trump's White House, Doug Wead offers a sweeping, eloquent history of President Donald J. Trump's first years in office, covering everything from election night to the news of today. The book will include never-before-reported stories and scoops, including how President Trump turned around the American economy, how he "never complains and never explains," and how his actions sometimes lead to misunderstandings with the media and the public. It also includes exclusive interviews with the Trump family about the Mueller report, and narrates their reactions to its release.

A joy to read
Revisado: 12-13-19
I thoroughly enjoyed this book—Especially because the author was carefully basing it on primary sources. A refreshing perspective and many good explanations and backing up of assertions and comments with verifiable facts. Thank you!

An account worth reading
Revisado: 01-29-19
This is an excellent and well researched account of a woman whose life and accomplishments have too long been relegated to simplistic children’s literature. My only complaint about the audio book is that the reader too often speaks in a monotone, as if reading a rather boring newspaper article. This is nevertheless worth listening to, as Tubman herself and her life were actually were way more fascinating, and she accomplished immensely more than I ever knew.

Historia
Bronx-born top turret-gunner Arthur Meyerowitz was on his second mission when he was shot down in 1943. He was one of only two men on the B-24 Liberator known as Harmful Lil Armful who escaped death or immediate capture on the ground. After fleeing the wreck, Arthur knocked on the door of an isolated farmhouse, whose owners hastily took him in. Fortunately, his hosts not only despised the Nazis but had a tight connection to the French resistance group Morhange and its founder, Marcel Taillandier.

Interesting story, dully told
Revisado: 04-25-18
This should have been a much more gripping story. It is about a pilot who is downed in occupied France during WWII and how he gets home. The story is fascinating and obviously well researched, but told in a dull, plodding style. The narration is of average quality.

Good stories

Good for young adults and adults and older children. The only thing I didn’t like was the reader spoke way too slowly

Historia
The number one New York Times best-selling story about American Olympic triumph in Nazi Germany, the inspiration for the PBS documentary The Boys of '36, broadcast to coincide with the 2016 Summer Olympics and the 80th anniversary of the boys' gold medal race. Out of the depths of the Depression comes an irresistible story about beating the odds and finding hope in the most desperate of times - the improbable, intimate account of how nine working-class boys from the American West showed the world at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin what true grit really meant.

If you liked Seabiscuit or Unbroken, you will love this book too. The tone of the performer is wonderful.
