The Prosecution of George W. Bush For Murder

50 reviews
Vincent Bugliosi

BBC Audiobooks America, 2008

A must read for all Americans.
Let me start by saying that I am not, nor have I ever been a supporter of the Bush administration. Still, I went into this book with an open mind. Mr. Bugliosi has done a superb job of showing the culpability of the needless war against Iraq by President Bush and his administration. This is not a mud slinging, name calling account based on personal beliefs. This book is a well laid out, fact ...

Derek Jacobi, Rosalind Ayres, ...

BBC Audiobooks America, 2006

A real listening pleasure
I enjoy the varied readers of these English and American Gothic masterpieces.The readers have achieved a fine balance between dramatization and plain reading. Although some of the British authors are new to me, especially the wickedly witty, Saki, I have not read several of the old Gothic American stories since high school English class, so they return as a surprise to me when heard in a more ...

The South Beach Diet Supercharged: Faster Weight Loss and Better Health for Life

35 reviews
Arthur Agatston, Joseph Signorile

BBC Audiobooks America, 2008

A Comprehensive Plan for Diet, Exercise, and Healthful Living
Instead of repeating other reviewers, let's focus mostly on seldom-discussed details of this book. The South Beach diet centers on natural foods. Agatson contends that portion size usually takes care of itself when natural foods are eaten. He opposes the taking of supplements with the exception of fish oils (p. 314), because he doesn't believe that supplements can adequately replace the ...

Successful Gift
I purchased this for my father along with a selection of other audio books. He reported that he liked this one the best. Apparently the selection of stories was excellent, and the reading was clear and expressive.

Agatha Christie

BBC Audiobooks America, 2003

This was Poirot at his best, many times!
I enjoyed all the different stories that were in this book. It is great fun to listen to. My book came in great condition and the seller kept me informed of when it was shipped and when I could expect to receive. Wonderful service.

The Girl of His Dreams (A Commissario Brunetti Mystery)

Donna Leon

BBC Audiobooks America, 2008

Donna Leon at her Very Best
I am not a mystery fan. But I love books that transport me to an interesting place and/or time. Donna Leon excels at this. She has lived in Venice for over 25 years and writes lovingly of the people, the canals, and life there. She has created a wonderful set of warm, endearing characters. particularly Commissario Guido Brunetti, his family, and Signorina Elettra. I'm working my way through ...

The Great Gatsby

6 reviews
F. Scott Fitzgerald

BBC Audiobooks America, 2002

Maybe Gatsby wasn't great, but the story is...
There is a reason why this is required reading in advanced literature classes throughout the country. This is without a doubt one of the best tales ever told. It should be used as an example to any aspiring writer of what great writing can be. The thing that makes it so great is Fitzgerald's ability to formulate characters, both large and small, and his ability to have them interact in a ...

Eat That Frog! 21 Great Ways to Stop Procrastinating and Get More Done in Less Time

100 reviews
Brian Tracy

BBC Audiobooks America, 2006

Succinct, informative, and highly recommended!
I picked up "Eat that Frog!" on a whim, thinking it would be a fair addition to my motivational book library. I was surprised to find that, although a quick and easy-to-digest read, it contained more information and direction than many other books on the same topic. I found myself taking a few notes and instantly incorporating the practices it outlines into my daily routine, upping my ...

Arbinger Institute

BBC Audiobooks America, 2005

Leadership and Self Deception
A fascinating book--an absolute Must Read for anyone in the work force, especially those in management or leadership. Excellent too, for anyone in a significant or difficult relationship. Readers come away with a new outlook on the effects their management/relationship style has on others, and what drives and motivates people, and the prices we pay along the way, sometimes without even ...

The Five Secrets You Must Discover Before You Die

John Izzo

BBC Audiobooks America, 2008

Certified safe for all GrimReaperPhobes
Heavy title. Buoying book. Go figure. When Dr. John Izzo's book, The Five Things You Must Discover Before You Die, came up as a suggestion for me to review and interview, it came with the phrase, "sounds like something you'd like, Jamie." Oh, really? I don't read 'those' kinds of books. And I'm terrified of dying. Somebody's messing with me. But I like a challenge. Heh. That which ...

The Red Box: A Nero Wolfe Mystery

6 reviews
Rex Stout

BBC Audiobooks America, 2008

One of my top 3 Rex Stout Nero Wolfe favorites!
This is one of my top three favorite Rex Stout Nero Wolfe mysteries! Plot about a murder brought about by eating poisoned chocolates (later, poisoned aspirins), and due to the circumstances, motive is terribly difficult to determine because it's not certain the victim was the intended victim. Very non-cooperative characters - maddeningly so, sprinkled with those telling partial truths and ...

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

The Best Sherlock Holmes Audio Dramas Around
I first became a fan of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Holmes stories when I was only about 11 or 12 years of age and that was a very long time ago indeed. Since then I have seen and heard literally hundreds of adaptations of these classic tales over the years and when it comes to audio dramatizations this set from the BBC is by far the best I've ever listened to. Back in 1989 the BBC undertook the ...

Mark Twain

this is wonder
This books is great, and the narrator is great, too. You'll never regret buying this book. It's about boyhood and adventures that Tom Sawyer, a playful boy, makes up as he goes along.

To the Death

Patrick Robinson

BBC Audiobooks America, 2008

Above reviewer does not know what he's talking about
The guy above, "JACK" copied the same bad review to all of Patrick Robinson's books. Even ones he hasn't read. Just because he didn't like the "Political Undercurrent". Get a life man. It's a fiction story. Dropping in a 1 star review before the book is even out just screws the average for the rest of the people looking at buying it. Robinson's books are awesome. I've read every one of them and I ...

Macbeth (Arkangel Shakespeare)

William Shakespeare

BBC Audiobooks America, 2005

Best Yet!
I've been playing this in a regular senior English class. Many of the students are finally understanding the play. The actors in this cd do a wonderful job interpreting their lines. The Scottish accents are well done. Sound effects make it vivid. It's the best production I've found to date.

Poirot's Early Cases: 18 Hercule Poirot Mysteries

5 reviews
Agatha Christie

BBC Audiobooks America, 2005

Agatha Christie Fan
Hercule is undoubtably one of the most endearing characters for those of us who enjoy mystery. He has style, class and (surprisingly) humor. This series provided many, many hours of enjoyment.

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Quintessential Phase (dramatization)

Douglas Adams

BBC Audiobooks America, 2007

So Long, Hitchhiker's Guide, and Thanks for All the Fun
This is the superb final BBC radio series of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, this one adapting Douglas Adams' final book Mostly Harmless. It features the same creators and cast from the recent Tertiary and Quandary Phases (which means that most of the original cast from the 1978 to 1980 radio shows appear.) While the book itself was a major disappointment, the radio adaption manages to ...

Hamlet (Arkangel Shakespeare)

William Shakespeare

BBC Audiobooks America, 2005

Best Yet
What a terrific find! I got the Romeo and Juliet cd from the same company and was very pleased. So, I tried Macbeth. This is the finest interpretation of the parts I have ever heard. The readers even speak with Scottish accents. This a dramatized version, complete with sound effects. My students love it.

Douglas Adams

BBC Audiobooks Ltd, 2001

The Original BBC series. Must have for any Hitch-Hiker Fan
This is the original BBC radio series (I know I have an old cassette copy from the early 1908's). The radio series was first, then the book, then the TV series, and now the movie. In my opinion the radio series was the best. It has all of the great lines my friend love to quote. The actors are wonderful. The sound effects make you feel like you are right there with Arthur and Ford exploring the ...
