The Poisonwood Bible is a story told by the wife and four daughters of Nathan Price, a fierce, evangelical Baptist who takes his family and mission to the Belgian Congo in 1959. They carry with them everything they believe they will need from home, but soon find that all of it - from garden seeds to Scripture - is calamitously transformed on African soil. What follows is a suspenseful epic of one family’s tragic undoing and remarkable reconstruction over the course of three decades in postcolonial Africa.

Narrator isn't great, but the story is good
Revisado: 06-01-10
The narrator is just not good - her voice sounds the same for every character and it makes a good story hard to listen to. The story overall is a good one. I probably would have liked it more if I had read it rather than listened to it.

Marian Keyes has introduced readers to the lives, loves, and foibles of the five Walsh sisters, Claire, Maggie, Rachel, Helen, and Anna, and their crazy mammy. In this funny, heartbreaking, and triumphant new tale set in the Big Apple, it's Anna's turn in the spotlight.

If opposites attract, Ellie and Dan are perfect for each other. She's impulsive; he follows all the rules. Ellie is a virtual orphan, whereas Dan's family is as close-knit as they come. At first, Ellie is thrilled to be accepted into the Cooper clan and embraces Dan's mom, Linda, as the mother she never had...until she begins to realize that Linda's "mothering" is far more intrusive than even the best daughter-in-law can handle.

Enjoyable listen!

The story line, the narrator, and the characters were wonderful in this book. You couldn't help but love them all. This book has a well developed plot and quirky and lovable characters who you can't but help to relate to. Anyone, single or married with children will enjoy this light and fresh story. Jane Green is an incredible author!

When a NASA satellite discovers an astonishingly rare object buried deep in the Arctic ice, the floundering space agency proclaims a much-needed victory, a victory with profound implications for NASA policy and the impending presidential election. To verify the authenticity of the find, the White House calls upon the skills of intelligence analyst Rachel Sexton. Accompanied by a team of experts, including the charismatic scholar Michael Tolland, Rachel travels to the Arctic and uncovers the unthinkable.

Non-stop action packed!
Revisado: 04-07-05
This book kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time (which was nerve-racking being that I was driving a car at the time I was listening). There were so many twists and unexpected turns that even after listening for hours and hours, I didn't want to stop. It kept my attention and shocked and surprised me chapter after chapter. The characters are well developed, the plot it interesting (if you like technical information) and unlike The Di Vinci Code & Angels & Demons, which I also enjoyed. If you like the unexpected this is the book to listen to, especially on a long and boring drive!

This was an excellent book with characters that you can't help but love. It makes you want to visit Dublin! The audiobook was a little slow at times, but overall it was a wonderfully rich story that I would recommend to all.

Superficial chick lit
Revisado: 02-08-05
This book is for the woman who loves reading about high fashion, rich men, and a main character so superficial you have to love her. Overall a good book that can keep your attention during a long drive. I would recommend it to all!

When Alice's wealthy (and much coveted) teenage crush, Joe, asks her to marry him, she is prepared to trade in her dream of a cottage filled with children, animals, and home-cooked meals for what he has in mind for her: stilettos, blond highlights, and a diet. She tells herself that she's happy to sacrifice for love, especially when every woman in London would like to be in her shoes.
