Historia
Jimmy Lee Hickam grew up along Red Dog Road, a dead-end strip of gravel and mud buried deep in the bowels of Appalachian Ohio. It is the poorest road, in the poorest county, in the poorest region of the state. To make things worse, the name Hickam is synonymous with trouble. Jimmy Lee hails from a heathen mix of thieves, moonshiners, drunkards, and general anti-socials that for decades have clung to both the hardscrabble hills and the iron bars of every jail cell in the region. This life, Jimmy Lee believes, is his destiny, someday working with his drunkard father at the sawmill, or sitting next to his arsonist brother in the penitentiary.

Meh
Revisado: 06-27-19
Having lived and worked in Southeastern Ohio and other areas of rural Appalachia, I found the characters somewhat stereotypical and overdone. It often glosses over or outright dismisses the cultural values of many people from Appalachia, including family connection to the land, pride in blue-collar work, and self-sufficiency. The narrator mispronounced many area names, which further highlighted the disconnect between the story and the rich, yet complicated, cultural heritage of Appalachian Ohio.

Historia
Tom Hiddleston ( The Night Manager) stars as Jonathan Harker, with David Suchet ( Poirot) as Dracula in Liz Lochhead's powerful BBC radio adaptation of the classic novel by Bram Stoker. When solicitor Jonathan Harker sets off for Transylvania to sell the mysterious Count Dracula a Gothic mansion, his bride-to-be, Mina, begs him to stay - to no avail. But on arrival at Dracula's castle, deep in a black forest surrounded by wolves, Harker wishes he had listened to his fiancée.

Nothing like the original
Revisado: 05-22-19
I understand that this is an adaptation, which means changes, but it drives me crazy when they change small details that didn't need to be changed. They changed names and relationships between characters that could have been kept to the original. It was well performed, just badly adapted.

Historia
Prosecuting attorney in the Manson trial Vincent Bugliosi held a unique insider's position in one of the most baffling and horrifying cases of the 20th century: the cold-blooded Tate-LaBianca murders carried out by Charles Manson and four of his followers. What motivated Manson in his seemingly mindless selection of victims, and what was his hold over the young women who obeyed his orders? Now available for the first time in unabridged audio, the gripping story of this famous and haunting crime is brought to life by acclaimed narrator Scott Brick.

Amazing True Crime Book!
Revisado: 12-20-18
I absolutely loved the in-depth coverage of the case from someone who was so involved with the case. I thought I knew about the Tate-LaBianca murders, but I learned so much! I appreciate how factual it was without a lot of sensationalism. A fascinating read (or listen)!

The different actors and sound effects really brought the story to life! I've read Murder on the Orient Express before, but listening to this version was much more enjoyable.

Not bad, but not great
Revisado: 08-22-17
The story was ok and the characters were alright. It wasn't predictable, but there weren't any great twists or anything either. It was enjoyable to listen to, but it didn't pull me in and make me want to keep going.

It took a bit to really get into the story, but it was good once I got there.

Historia
January 1946: London is emerging from the shadow of the Second World War, and writer Juliet Ashton is looking for her next book subject. Who could imagine that she would find it in a letter from a man she’s never met, a native of the island of Guernsey, who has come across her name written inside a book by Charles Lamb.... As Juliet and her new correspondent exchange letters, Juliet is drawn into the world of this man and his friends - and what a wonderfully eccentric world it is.

Favorite Audible Book!

The different actors reading the various parts really brought the book to life better than any audio book I have listened to! I loved the feelings they were able to convey and the life they breathed into the story.
