Leadership And Self-Deception: Getting Out Of The Box 201 reviews
Arbinger Institute
BBC Audiobooks America, 2005
Go Beyond
I think I've read most of the top dozen or so best sellers on leadership. They all have wonderful advice. But there's now also a new kid on the block, a new book, that is probably the best-kept secret on leadership and HUMAN RELATIONS. It's a book called "Going Beyond Leadership of Character" by "West Point" author, Norman Thomas Remick. It goes beyond all the wonderful books like "Leadership and ...

Vincent Bugliosi
BBC Audiobooks America, 2008
Wow... a tremendous work...
I have to say, WOW. As a complete and total left-wing liberal whack job, I truly appreciated this book. It absolutely confirmed every single belief I have about this President and, coincidentally, this country.
After reading many, many glowing reviews I simply had to purchase this book. I read the favorable review and it was, expectedly, FAVORABLE! I read the CRITICAL review and it was ALSO ...

BBC Audiobooks America, 2008
South Beach Works
I recently turned 45 and after a cruise vacation with my husband I came home 142 pounds. I had done the SBD years ago, lost weight and foolishly abandoned the principles. I immediately went and dusted off my old copy.
I started 9 weeks ago and also started walking 30 minutes a day on a treadmill. I'm now 125 pounds. All my clothes are at the tailor's being taken in. I look better, I feel ...

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 Time104 reviews
Brian Tracy
BBC Audiobooks America, 2006
To the Point - The Way I Like It!
This book is not in-depth and does not waste time on figuring out all the psychological reasons why people don't get done what they want to get done...and that's what's so great about it! I read a little bit of this book everyday and it motivated me to stop wasting my time so much. If you want some quick tips and simple methods to help manage your time then this is the right book for you!

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.

Brideshead Revisited97 reviews
Evelyn Waugh

A Queer Theory Must!
As someone very interested in the field of Queer Theory, I was pleasantly surprised to pick up this book and discover such fascinating love relationships in the life of Charlie Ryder. Set between the two World Wars, Brideshead Revisited follows the life of Charlie Ryder and his dealings (and romances) with members of the Flyte family. Waugh has both a beautiful way with words and a scathing, ...

Saved the day for me
Recently I had eye surgery and was not able to see at all for a month. During that time I enjoyed these Poirot mysteries. He is already a favorite of mine. It was a lifesaver for me to have these audio stories available.Perhaps you might enjoy listening on your way to work, or know a person with vision loss who might love to hear of these Poirot escapades.

This book is the bible of goal-setting

Brilliant Read... Brilliant Listen
And Then There Were None, the brilliant masterwork by the much imitated Agatha Christie is a complicated yet accessible murder mystery. Ten guests arrive at an island, each with a different secret, and each uniquely mysterious. When all the guests have gathered, a mysterious voice, U.N. Owen??? indicts each for a crime. The bloodletting follows. Good luck solving this mystery. The Denouement ...

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Quintessential Phase (dramatization)3 reviews
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 ...

BBC Audiobooks America, 2008
Almost a Perfect World
This book was truly amazing at certain points i was so touched by what i was reading that i was forced to read out loud just to hear these words spoken, Huxley takes commend of the english langage as no other author and creates an almost perfect world if only the savages were included. If this is what the future holds i welcome it with open arms a sad truth.

A great purchase
I love this product. In fact this is the second time that I have purchased it. My original copy was scratched up from overuse. I play this in my car. The stories are short and sweet, just long enough for my morning commute.

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 ...

I Cried, I Laughed, I Cried Some More
When I found this item on the audiobook rack at my local bookstore (the one with the cafe stapled onto it) it took me at least an entire minute to figure out what it was I was looking at. I thought it must be a reissue of the original radio episodes (from 25 years ago) or a new reading by somebody or other. Gradually it dawned on me like a sledgehammer through molasses that this was an all-new ...

Agatha Christie, Hugh Fraser
BBC Audiobooks America, 2007
Excellent audio cd
This 5-CD audiobook is a definite pleaser! Nice protective packaging.
The reading by Hugh Fraser is top-notch; his excellent vocal performance elevates Dame Agatha's fine story to even greater heights. A great investment, and my husband, who usually doesn't go in for 'accents', finding them a bit hard to understand, greatly enjoyed it too. The description plays up the assistance of Poirot's old ...

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.
