I love all the books of Rex Stout. I read them first in Russian and fell in love with smart Nero Wolfe and funny Archie Goodwin. Now I am collecting all the detective stories written by Stout. Get more detail about Murder by the Book: A Nero Wolfe Mystery.

The MHC Collection consist of 4 short mystery thriller stories, very well written with extraordinary attention to details. I listened to these audiobooks more than a month ago, and they are still lingering in my memory, for some reason they stay with you. I hope you enjoy this audiobooks as much as I did, they made me a definitely Mary Higgins Clark fan!Get more detail about The Classic Clark Collection.

Once again Wolfe receives a phone call from the mysterious Arnold Zeck, warning him that he's getting too close with an unwanted investigation. On this occasion, Wolfe is involved in a request from a leading industrialist to investigate the background of his daughter's current suitor. When Wolfe refuses to back down, Zeck backs up his warning with violence that hits Nero where it hurts...

Communists, orchids and a manor-house mystery dropped on its head. This is one of Stout's stronger Wolfe novels on its own, and also makes a powerful second punch in his Zeck trilogy of books. I've seen quite a bit of commentary that criticizes what they perceive as Stout's anti-Communist agenda in the book. All I can say to that is "read it again". While not a fan of Communists, Wolfe and Archie are not friends to people spouting off about the red menace either. Mickey Spillane he isn't, thank goodness. Consider this a measured glance at the politics of the era by a writer who was trying to show the issues from a position of (relative) neutrality. Note his nod to the middle way with the treatment of the Paul Emerson character.

Placed in a swanky home on Dark Avenue the orphans are under the care of the Squalors. He seems OK but she is obsessed with what's "in" and what isn't.

I have the book and I have this item, too. I'll admit I didn't get a chance to read the book, but I have listened to this cd for awhile, now. It's great for me to listen to it, while I'm doing computer work and such. I'll admit that I didn't 'get it' until listening to it for a couple of times. Also, it helps that one understands M.B.'s accent. It adds a certain something, I think. Anyway, I'm glad that it's on this audio format. Because it's easier to listen to this and do other things. I'm a bookworm, but it would be a tad difficult if I tried to read and do ther tasks at the same time, etc. All in all, I'm very glad that I purchased this item and I highly recommend it. Prosperity and abundance to one and all. Thank you. :o)Get more detail about The Science Of Getting Rich: 3 CD Audio Book plus MusiVation TM Mind Technology.

Escucho muchos audiolibros, nunca había escuchado un narrador tan malo!!! Me da dolor de cabeza escucharlo, las narrativas emocionantes de la biblia se vuelven un receta de cocina con este narrador.

Long before we took a stab at this series last summer, I'd heard about Bunnicula. Unfortunately, I'd foolishly discounted the books about a bunny that looked like Dracula as unappealing. Finally, desperate for in-the-car summer entertainment for elementary-school-aged bookworms, I picked up The Bunnicula Collection, a Book on CD version containing the first three titles in the series and gave them a try. They turned out to be a smashing success.

The first book, Bunnicula A Rabbit-Tale of Mystery goes something like this: Chester the cat and Howard the dog are shocked to learn what their family, the Monroes, takes home one night from the theater: a bunny that looks suspiciously like a vampire. Although the human family members quickly acclimate to the presence of the new pet, Chester and Howard, after noticing carrots, lettuce and tomatoes gone white, feel something fishy is going on and set out to solve the mystery. Howliday Inn, the second story, takes place at the kennel where the three pets are left for boarding during a family holiday. The third, The Celery Stalks at Midnight concerns strange behavior on the part of the Monroe boys and the silly antics of an additional character.

Bunnicula, recommended for age seven and up, is a humorous, captivating series about the interactions between three well-thought-out, sometimes suspicious, furry characters and their humans. At the end of the CD, author James Howe explains its origins, and gives credit his coauthor and wife, Deborah, who died before her time of cancer. The only disappointing thing about Bunnicula is the difficulty of obtaining successive books in the series read by Victor Garber, as other authors that have performed the stories aren't nearly as good. Having just finished reading The Celery Stalks at Midnight, the experience wasn't nearly as enjoyable as listening to Victor Garber's five-star reading performance. Note that two additional sets are available [...] books 4 & 5 and books 6 & 7. Only the price ($38 per set) has prevented me from picking them up. Also good: Emmy and the Incredible Shrinking Rat by Lynne Jonell and The Story of Edgar Tulane by Kate DiCamillo and, for adults, Watership Down by Richard Adams.Get more detail about The Bunnicula Collection: Books 1-3: #1: Bunnicula: A Rabbit-Tale of Mystery; #2: Howliday Inn; #3: The Celery Stalks at Midnight.

I got the Personal Power Program through ebay after seeing Tony's infomercial. This is MUCH more than motivation, huggy-touchy-feely type stuff. If you want fluff and hot air, this isn't it.

If you want meat and potatoes of how to run your brain, how to direct for energy and effort. This is for you. Tony' program shows you how to control your brain. I have some high goals in life and instead of working my butt off to achieve them and then feel good afterwards. I have a GREAT TIME achieving them. Not just at the finish line but DURING THE ENTIRE PROCESS.

If you know what needs to get done but can't seem to find the motivation to do them on a regular basis, then this is for you. Can't follow through? Seem to run out of steam before you get to the finish line? Putting things off? Want to enjoy the process of accomplishing things? Want to get rid of bad habits? Want to get some new habits that will empower you?

Those are the things I used this program for. Like I said before this isn't hype or a 'just think positive' type of stuff.

There has been some controversy about Tony....I don't know about that stuff. All I know is that by using his techniques life has been abundant and FUN !!!!!!!Get more detail about Anthony Robbins Personal Power: A 30 Day Program (24 Audio Cassettes).

I picked up the audio version. I enjoy Dean Koontz's books. This one however was...difficult to rate. I would like to give it a 3.5 He is a talented writer, exceptional storyteller, but this story got caught up in too many metaphors, similes and poetics. I hit fast forward a couple of times because I couldn't handle the speakers miserable drawn out recounting of "everything" he encountered. His inflection was the same throughout the entire story. It isn't really a complex story line, just wordy. I couldn't get myself connected with his character, Joe. I love quirky storylines and plots, but couldn't get interested in this one. I can understand why others rated it higher though. I think Koontz has a way of connecting to people. Maybe not to the same folks all the time. I have friends that I would recommend this book to (not the audio version). I have other friends that I know wouldn't be able to get into the story. To each his own.

"The Third Option," published in 2000, is the third book in Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp series and, while the book still holds up well as a political thriller, today's readers will almost certainly think about how much has happened in the decade following its publication. Mitch is in Germany on what he plans as his last counterterrorism mission: taking out a wealthy German industrialist before the man can supply Saddam Hussein's scientists with the material needed for Iraq to produce nuclear weapons to benefit those waging war on the West.

One more kill, and Vince plans to walk away from his old life and into the arms of the woman he plans to spend the rest of his life with - but, in Vince's business, things have a way of getting complicated. Vince Rapp is not used to failure but this time, despite his best efforts, the mission goes badly and he finds himself on the run in Europe, wondering who set-him up and why they did it. All he knows is that someone is going to pay the ultimate price for what they did to him - even if the order came from inside the Agency.

When he finally surfaces to confront his bosses in Washington D.C. about their knowledge of what happened in Germany, Rapp becomes convinced that CIA Director Stansfield and Irene Kennedy, Director of the Counterterrorism Center, are as much in the dark as he is. Director Stansfield, Rapp learns, is dying of cancer and Stansfield strongly believes that Irene Kennedy is the only choice to succeed him. However, some powerful government people disagree with Stansfield and they considered Rapp and his mission to be expendable if the ensuing embarrassment would keep Kennedy from the nomination.

"The Third Option" is a first rate thriller throughout but I was disappointed in its open-ended finish. It is obvious that the fourth book of the Mitch Rapp series picks up exactly where this third book ends - and that might have been more acceptable back in 2000 when there were only three books in the series. But now there are ten of them, and the earlier books can be difficult to find in libraries and bookstores, so it might be a while before I find out how book three's chief villain is finally brought to justice. Bummer.Get more detail about The Third Option.

our kids aged 5 and 9 are doing very well with this book and CD.
The older one can read and is getting familiar with the reading part, but both of them love to sing out the songs. The songs and conversations full of humor are what makes this CD tick - the CD can even be played in car just like any other music CD.

The CD is very high quality and real fun - (not boring like most language courses that assume that you are going on a vacation and need to say passport, customs, hotel etc. English is good enough for that anywhere in the world :)

This book/CD is good for the adults in the family also. I am finally able to sound out the French rrr sound!
You cannot go wrong with this one...Get more detail about French for Children (Book + Audio CD) (Language for Children Series).

I had not read Vince Flynn before, but based on this book he is now one I will continue reading. In Transfer of Power he creates a well crafted thriller.

Through some things that are a concern to many, donations, terrorists are able to gain access and control The White House which causes the President to be sheltered and the Vice President to assume control. The siege continues and the the threats escalate as demands are made.

And during the process Flynn works in many charactors and personalities that are credible and interesting - in other words he does not rely solely on a great concept to create the story. He can write and writes well.

I consider him now up there with the best and the charactor of Mitch Rapp is one that takes his place among the other great protagonists in this genre.Get more detail about Transfer of Power.

I read the Bourne Identity awhile ago and enjoyed it, this book cemented my fandom for Robert Ludlum. While I only gave this novel 3 out of 5 stars, there are reasons.

This is a taut thriller that grabbed and held on to my interest for the first 400 or so pages, then it began to wane. At this point I did a little research, this novel was not finished by Ludlum, he passed away in 2001 and this was the first of his books to be "Ghost Finished", I'll chalk up the somewhat uninspired ending to the ghost writer.

More about the book. It is very "running man" The protagonist, Janson, is a sort of super spook, think Jason Bourne without all the memory loss, who is given a mission to save a billionaire philanthropist devoted to world peace. Janson assembles a crack team who go in to a impossible mission and succeed, only to have it all unravel at the end. Then Janson is blamed for the mistake and he traipses all over the world hunting down clues until he finds the ultimate answer, a conspiracy that would take down the entire free world. It is very well written and the characters are enjoyable, my favorite is the Russian money launderer, too bad Ludlum cannot give these characters any more adventures.

This was a spin away from the normal Deveraux style. I was surprised and pleased by the skill in which Ms. Deveraux brought the criminal element into the novel. This book will not please the typical Deveraux romance reader but, if you're into the history of jazz and the speakeasies of the time, crime and mystery, this is a very entertaining read.Get more detail about Sweet Liar.

This book is well written and gives you motivation to learn. But:
- the author speaks too fast - not that it's hard to understand, but we learn better if we start slowly (same for music). My mother tongue is french, and I speak all the time way too fast. To my french friends: this is not going to help.
- the book starts with intonation (also a great problem for french people) and to my point of view, it should be more systematic, starting with vowels in detail. Anyway, the part with the table and vowels was missing on the CD, I had to return it twice.
I ended up by buying "Mastering the American Accent" (Lisa Mojsin). I made a great progress already after 1 week. Good book for french students (on devrait commencer ca dès l'école, notre accent est toujours une catastrophe, mais ouf, les anglophones trouvent ca sexy ;-).Get more detail about American Accent Training (Book and Audio CD, 2nd Edition).
