Magnifique!....Wonderful Performance!

+ Dramatized vividly!

"Les Misérables" is tale I just can't get enough of. There are so many wonderful versions of this beautiful tale, and I try to experience this story in all forms. This audio book is superb. A brillant cast led by Brian Blessed as Jean Valjean and the wonderful music composed and directed by ...

Goneboy: A Review

+ A Time To Heal

The shocking articles appearing in the news about random killings by a wacko gunman hit home several years ago when my son informed me a friend of his had been killed by a fellow student. I could no longer distance myself from such tragedy -- if Galen Gibson could be killed so senselessly, so ...

What Will Be Will Be....Lovely Audio Reading By Blair Brown

This review refers to the Unabridged Audio Edition of "Back When We Were Grownups" by Anne Tyler... Blair Brown's reading of "Back When We Were Grownups" is a most enjoyable one.

Tales from the Tummy Trilogy13 reviews

Highbridge Audio, 2001

Fats Goldberg lives!

+ Funny Foodie Confesses All
+ Wonderful writing and a delight even though much has changed on the American food scene

I seriously doubt when Calvin Trillin was knocking out this purple prose back in the early `70s that he ever considered himself a "food writer." I expect no one at the time save the M.F.K. Fishers and Elizabeth Davids of the world even considered that label for themselves. Besides, Mr. Trillin ...

Robert Ludlum, Gayle Lynds

Macmillan Audio, 2000

The Best Book in the Series!

+ This Book is Ludlum's Best

Gayle Lynds makes this story and plot work great. It is obviously the best book in this series. The TV two-part movie was good - but as always, it seems that the book was much better! Gayle has her signature all over this plot and story - it is obvious that she is responsible for the entire book. ...

Kerouac's Masterpiece

+ A True Classic

This is by far Kerouac's best work. It details his adventures with Neil Cassiday in way only Kerouac could. This book defines the beat movement and defines, for me at least how the world was long before I was born. Being only 20 years old I cannot imagine hitch hiking across the country, in the ...

The Seat of the Soul395 reviews
Gary Zukav

Macmillan Audio, 1999

One of many books to open the understanding of Soul.

+ Wonderful reading for anyone!
+ The Seat of the Soul is absolutely a core choice.

I found this book to be THE leapboard into spiritual understanding and empowerment. For me, Seat of the Soul is written in more of a philosophical and scientific language that I understand. If one is to look at most of the books on these topics we would see that they are all speaking to the same ...
