I have always loved FSF's writing. His prose is beautifully poetic. This is his best work by far. The book comes alive in this reading by Alexander Scourby. I have listened to this recording probably 10 times over the last few years and I never tire of the story or the way it is read. I have also listened to the version read by Tim Robbins and he doesn't do the book justice. He portrays Gatsby as kind of a dour fellow. I have always viewed Gatsby as the ultimate romantic and that is how he is portrayed by Scourby in this reading. I cannot recommend this audio enough.Get more detail about The Great Gatsby.

The plot here is the weakest of the entire series. The baseline "life at Hogwarts" stuff is still fun, but the rest is a bit forced. As the central book of the series, though, it can almost be taken as a metaphor for the series itself:

The 3 tasks of the Triwizard tournament are effectively a recapitulation of the first 3 books. However, in those books Dumbledore was the one pulling the strings and making sure everything worked out. Here Voldemort is doing the string-pulling, though we don't find that out until the final pages. That reveal is when the world of the series changes from a place where a happy safe ending is guaranteed to something more dangerous and real. It is also a bit of foreshadowing towards book 7 when we understand that even Dumbledore doesn't necessarily have a happy ending in mind for Harry.

This is an excellent series of audio CDs! It's quite a bit cheaper to buy the full set rather than the CDs for each philosopher individually. The narration is great (Charlton Heston, what can I say?...and other actors playing various parts).

I'm a novice at philosophy, but I found the presentation interesting, engaging, and at an appropriate level for a beginner. To me, the presentation on each philosopher seems to be a very good overview with enough depth to get an idea and flavor for what the philosopher's point of view was and how this point of view fits within those of the time and of other philosophers. There is also some background on the personal life and development of the philosopher.

These seem to me to be great introductions and I enjoy listening to them enough that I have listened to them multiple times.Get more detail about Giants of Philosophy Series (The Audio Classics: Giants of Philosophy).

They are as creative as Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, they are consistent, they are captivating. I find it an extra bonus that the same reader was used for each of the books. As an avid book on tape "reader" it is disconcerting when the reader switches on a favorite character, say, Sherlock Holmes. The movies did a fabulous job of captivating the essence of the books in the amount of time they had available.

Book 2 is really a replay of book 1 and works to reinforce the basic structure of the series. The plot, including the finale, is actually better designed than in book 1, but there isn't as much emotion behind it. The fact that Harry is a wizard isn't new anymore. We spend the book getting used to life inside Hogwarts alongside Harry. It is a fun journey, but not quite as exciting as the initial discovery.

Sophie Thompson does an amazing job narrating this story. Her depictions of Mr. Wigg and the vain lion in the zoo, for instance, made me laugh out loud. She creates a unique voice for each character, and perfectly captures the acerbic and stern tone of Mary Poppins.

After listening to this book, I went online, hoping to find that Ms. Thompson had narrated the other Mary Poppins books. Unfortunately, this appears to be the only one, at least so far.

I'd forgotten how much I love Mary Poppins. Yes, she's vain and stern and cranky, but I've always thought that she wears those traits as a disguise -- she allows the mask to slip on a regular basis, and whatever lies underneath is surprisingly complex. What is Mary Poppins? A magician? A star? An angel? Whatever she is, I'm glad P.L. Travers thought her up. I'd forgotten how multi-layered and fascinating these stories are, and I'm glad to have rediscovered them.

I have wanted to listen to this since it first came out but never could afford it until now. In listening to this I was not disappointed and as crazy as this sounds I liked it better than the movie. There is more detail to this version than you get in the movie or even in the book for that matter.

In this version we find out how Leah got the plans to the Death Star before she is ever captured. We are treated to scenes of life on Alderan and Bail Organa tells Leah why they need Obi-Wan's help. We get to see Luke Skywalker flying through Beggar's Canyon - something only hinted at in the movie. Also - we get to find out what happens after the door closes when Princess Leah is interrogated by Vader. These are just a few examples of the extras you get from listening to this.

This is an extremely well done dramatized radio broadcast version of A New Hope and if you can get past listening to another actor play to part of Han Solo or Princess Leah you should enjoy this greatly. Mark Hamil and Antony Daniels voices are featured - not to mention all of the sound effects that we know and love from the movies. Get more detail about Star Wars: The Original Radio Drama.

Rowling could have written 6 adventure stories like Chamber of Secrets and people would still have loved Harry Potter. Azkhaban let people know that she had something extra in mind. Harry-Ron-Hermione-Hagrid, Harry-Lupin, Harry-Sirius, Harry-Dumbledore, James-Sirus-Lupin-Pettigrew. The book leaves behind the 'I'm a wizard!' focus of book 1 and the 'life at Hogwarts' focus of book 2, and turns to a real focus on friendship and love. These themes are continued in the later books, of course, though with an added element of death and loss. Here we get just the good stuff. Hard not to like that.

Somewhat surprisingly, the movie for book 3 actually improves the experience of reading the book. The time-travel sequence at the end is much better in the movie than in the book and, having seen the movie, the book's missteps can be overlooked.

I loved The Hunger Games and was one of the first in my "literary circle" to read it. I knew it would be successful because it is so different from any young adult novels I've read in the past few years. I was very anxious for Catching Fire to be released. It was not a disappointment. Although the novelty of the plot was not so shocking, I enjoyed Catching Fire tremendously. I couldn't wait to be back with Peeta and Katniss once again. The downside is...the third book isn't out yet! I am prediciting there will be a movie.

This provides a few anecdotes of "revolutionary" history of America. In the introduction, the author proclaims he is providing a history of the individual people, instead of the common focus of the important names and dates. However, the actual focus is on people involved in left wing causes (with the focus often an key players in these rolls.) While this does provide a good background of socialist causes, it is primarily a history of liberal students and the poor that associate with their causes. (He even attempts to show a more 'broad' support for an issue by saying that in addition to the college towns, San Francisco passed a similar anti-war resolution.) The goal is obviously an attempt to paint social revolutions as being more broadly representative of the people. However, this leaves out many other things that could be interesting. The first person approach used for much of the narrative also makes it feel more like propaganda than history.

The reading of the audiobook also has something to be desired. Matt Damon's delivery is fairly well done, but very slow. Howard Zinn's comments manage to be even slower.

I agree with the previous reviewer! I too listened to this audio cassette recording of Janet Dailey's Castle in the Sand and I see that Amazon is saying that it's unabridged but according to Romance Alive Audio on the back of their audiobook case it is abridged and approximately 90 minutes of playing time and that is not a whole lot of time to get to really enjoy a story. Castles in the Sand appears in a short story anthology from Zebra Romance and the Anthology is titled Spring Bouguet and the story has less then 140 pages so I really don't understand why a short story romance needed to be abridged for audio, I mean they could have easily recorded the whole story! Castles in the Sand is about a woman named Bridget O'Dwyer and a man named Reese Sullivan. Both of their fathers were Irish immigrants who started an Amusement Park in California and when Bridget's parents died she went to live with Reese and his family and eventually fell in love with Reese but was hurt when he went off and left her but 12 years later he is back when his father becomes ill and he and Bridget try to keep the old Amusement Park up and running and there is some rekindled romance between them but because it's so abridged I felt that the romance got shortchanged and there could have been more of the romance! If you are interested in this story then I recommend buying the anthology that it is in, the ISBN number for that book is 0821753096.

I'm sorry to report that there is at least one error in the MobileReference edition of Tales of The Jazz Age in the Jelly-Bean story, and that it mirrors the same error I found in the public domain editions.

I found "The Entrepreneur's Success Code, How to run a high performance business and have a life", really amazing. It's the "...and how to have a life" part that really caught my interest. It's a study course that encourages you to ask questions of yourself such as:

What are my personal objectives in my life?
What does money mean to me?

It helps you:
Transfer you inner wisdom to your business.
Create a business (or find a vocation) that serves your life.
Be certain your work allows you to become who you really are.

Definitely buy this Jim Norton version. Do not get the Donal Donnelly version that one reviewer recommends -- I followed his advice and it was a huge mistake, now I am purchasing the Norton version. The Donal version is haltingly slow with disruptive pauses between each word, even in dialogue. It's so bothersome -- the reading is like a 3rd grader would read. This Jim Norton version runs over 27 hours, but the Donal Donnelly version runs over 40 hours -- the extra time? It's spent in awkward pauses that break the flow of the language and the dialogue -- you totally lose the beauty of Joyce. Don't make the costly mistake that I made -- buy the right one the first time. Now that I have this Norton version, I can happily sail through Ulysses and appreciate Joyce's supreme writing.

Please be advised that this book is NOT WRITTEN BY NAPOLEON HILL. It is a rework of his writing of the other twelve books he wrote while his was alive. This CD was published in 2003 and Napoleon Hill died in 1970.

If you are going to read and learn from Napoleon Hill, I suggest you buy the books he actually authored and not these rehashed, updated versions of his books. The twelve books Napoleon Hill wrote are: Law of Success(1928), The Magic Ladder to Success (1930 and if you are looking for information on Master Minds, this is the one to read), Think and Grow Rich(1937), How to Sell Your Way Through Life(1938), Mental Dynamite(1941), The Master Key to Riches(1948), How to Raise Your Own Salary(1953), Success Through a Positive Mental Attitude(1959 co-authored with W. Clement Stone), PMA Science of Success Course(1961), Grow Rich With Peace of Mind(1967), Succeed and Grow Rich Through Persuasion(1970)and You Can Work Your Own Miracles(1971, a year after Hill's death).

I have been a reader of Harry Potter since I was in Junior High and now that I have followed Harry on his journey to the very end I still find myself rereading this book series every now and then.

The storytelling By JK Rowling is excellent for any reader seeking fun filled adventure By Harry and his schoolmates.

I have had most of these books in paperback and some of them in hardcover over the years and I find that books do wear and tear.

I have slowly started recollecting these books again but now all of then will be in hardcover instead of paperback.

I do hope someday I can read this to my children as a bedtime story and see the happiness that comes from them while listening to the story.

I'm at the end of the video version of this Bible study & consider it the best of a handful of Beth Moore studies I've done.

I got the audio CD's because I was going to miss a few classes. You don't have to see the video to experience the whole study & be able to answer all the questions in the workbook. She has some stage props (brazen altar, laver, lampstand, table of showbread, golden altar, ark & mercy seat) which are nice visuals, but you could just look at pictures from the internet while she's talking about them. Mostly the video just shows her talking on a stage.

Pros: An excellent study showing symbolism of the Old Testament Tabernacle, its contents & the Priesthood.
Can be done individually or in a group.

Cons: Beth Moore "yells" a lot (but if you can get past it, the content is excellent).
There is (in my opinion) "busy work" in some of the lessons.Get more detail about A Woman's Heart Audio CD's UPDATED.

Listening to these 37 CDs seemed like a daunting task at first but once I started this enthralling story - I couldn't get enough. Actually, I loved the story so much that I listened to these CDs whenever I was in the car and read the book The Count of Monte Cristo (Penguin Classics) at all other times, by picking up where I left off with the CDs. I was able to finish the story in about a week by doing it this way, which is really something, since I had never read or listened to a book of this length before. The translations are a bit different between these CDs and the aforementioned version of the book translated by Robin Buss, but they are similar enough that it was not hard to go from CD to book and back. The man who voices this book is simply amazing. His accents, voice modulation, and pacing are all top notch and this kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the story. I would highly recommend this set to anyone who wants to really get to know this story. Be warned though, its about 40 hours long...but worth every second!

Heard THE MAN IN THE BLACK SUIT, four unabridged short stories
by Stephen King.

Although I've liked some of the movies that have been made
out of King's work, I've never actually read (or listened to) very
much by him until this collection . . . and now, having spent
several hours listening to these tales, I'm not sure I want
to read too much more by this acclaimed author.

The very first story, "The Man in the Black Suit," just didn't
do anything for me . . . its' about a suicidal father, which to begin
with, is not one of my favorite topics . . . overall, it was a gloomy
beginning to what followed.

Only one story kept my attention: "The Death of Jack Hamilton" . . . it
is about John Dillinger and Hamilton, his friend, over the last days
of the latter's life . . . I don't know if things happened exactly
as they are written here, but it didn't really matter . . . I
was entertained from beginning to end.

The other two stories were so-so, at best . . . fortunately, the narration was
not done by King but by a quartet of professional actors: Becky Ann
Bakers, John Cullum, Peter Gerety and Arliss Howard . . . they
all were just fine.

I love King Lear and I love Paul Scofield, who voices Lear in this production. I bet it was a dynamite version to see live. But this audio recording suffers from terrible sound mixing. Some people have used the phrase "voices dropping out" to describe the problem, but I'd say simply that they did too little post-production mixing. The volumes are wildly divergent. This is most audible when someone speaks an aside--if you turn the volume up enough to hear this line, the next line spoken at regular volume will rattle your speakers (and eardrums). But it's a problem even in scenes with actors of different vocal styles--some people are way too loud and others very hard to hear. To give this complaint some context, I've never reviewed anything negatively on Amazon before. But this is a production problem--like getting a book printed on cheap paper--not just a matter of taste. They should have fixed this (and still could if they wanted to), and it really deserves a negative rating to warn people off of it.Get more detail about King Lear (Naxos AudioBooks).
