Rule #1: The Simple Strategy for Successful Investing--in Only 15 Minutes a Week! 147 reviews
Random House Audio, 2006
A Clear Read
I first saw Phil Town on "The Millionaire Inside" on CNBC, which prompted me to pick up his book. I found his book provides clear, step-by-step instructions on how to buy wonderful companies that have personal meaning, and purchasing them for at least a 50% discount, and then watching how they perform in the market. He introduced "tools" to check every day for a couple of minutes, depending on ...

Peace Hill Press, 2006
NOT BORING AT ALL! WE LOVE IT!!
I don't know why the same reviewer listed 2 reviews saying this was a boring series, but they couldn't be more wrong. This is the perfect way to explore history, from beginning to end. The narration is fun and interesting. My 8-year-old and 5-year-old love to listen to the stories and enjoy the workbook as well. Even my 2-year-old will listen to it. It is perfect for the car or when you are ...

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Book 1 Audio CD) 5412 reviews
J. K. Rowling
Listening Library, 1999
It lives up to the hype.
One fine day while I was at work, I went into our café and came across a coworker reading Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
Like a lot of adults I started laughing and said, "Aren't those for kids?"
My former coworker said, "Don't laugh until you've actually read them."
I took her advice and picked up the same book.
And I have to admit, she was right!
The Sorcerer's Stone was, like many ...

The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency (No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency) 398 reviews
Alexander McCall Smith
Recorded Books, 2003
Warm, witty, and wise
First book in the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency series.
Precious Ramotswe, in the face of many doubts, starts a detective agency after the death of her father. Her response to these skeptics is, "Haven't you ever heard of Agatha Christie?"
However, the true beauty of this book is not the mystery (though her cases are solved in satisfying ways). What I found most engaging is the glimpse ...

Conversations With God
I own both the hard copy and the audio book, and like most, I prefer the book. But the cd is incredibly convenient for people like me, who are always on the road.
I do tend to be alarmed at the price though. I got my CD set over the counter for under 30 dollars.
Want a brandnew outlook on your spiritual life? Something that may appeal to yourself, rather than to the conventional masses?

Awesome book - 11 yr old daughter read it all in 7 days
My daughter loved this book. Once she decided to try to read it she couldn't put it down. She finished the last half of the book in an all day reading marathon. She wants to continue reading the rest of the series. Her friend and her grandmother both want to borrow the book now based on her rating of it.

The Tower Treasure (Hardy Boys, Book 1)69 reviews
Franklin W. Dixon
Imagination Studio, 2002
"Joe toppled over the railing into space!"
As with many of the reviewers of this book, well beyond the ages it was originally intended for, it is a trip down nostalgic lane. My story is not unlike the others. My first introduction to the Hardy Boys were books given to me every birthday and Christmas. On occasion my parents would read them to me and even now, re-reading The Tower Treasure, I can still hear my dads voice saying the ...

Lemony Snicket
Listening Library (Audio), 2003
the best book ever
The book The Bad Beginning is a tragic, serious, and sometimes funny book. This book begins with this interesting choice of words from the author. "If you are interested in stories with happy endings, you would be better of reading some other book. In this book not only is there no happy ending there is no happy beginning and very few happy things in the middle." This book is about three kids, ...

Christopher Paolini
Listening Library (Audio), 2004
Excellent
When I bought this, I was looking for something to fill my fantasy void (especially in Audio CDs). The book was outstanding. Yes, its wrapped into the whole Tolkien genera, but it does a nice job of having its own style.
Highly recommend the Audio CDs. The narrator was not as good as Jim Dale, or some others, but nonetheless does a great job.

Arthur's Audio Favorites, Volume 1 (Arthur)1 review
Hachette Audio, 2007
Great for car trips
If you are a fan of the Arthur books then having some of the favorites on CD will be a great way to pass the time in the car with your kids. The author reads the books, so be prepared! It is not the same vocal performance quality as those done by actors.

The Eye of the World (The Wheel of Time, Book 1)1687 reviews
Media Books Audio Publishing, 1999
If you haven't read this series, read it!!
I won't really go into the plot summary of this book, as I think it will be virtually impossible for me to keep this review reasonably short.=) It would be hard for me to give that summary and not want to add spoilers from later books, because things that occur in The Eye of the World you encounter later on and doesn't get expanded upon until later. So how could I explain without spoiling?
