Members Reviews:

A perfect blend of writer and narrator

If you could sum up The Outhouse in three words, what would they be?

Touching, sad and surprising.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Anne Miller was my favorite character. Her story arc was very touching. I don't want to give away plot points, but what happens to her is so important to the book and the other characters.

Have you listened to any of Paul Curtiss other performances before? How does this one compare?

No.

If you could take any character from The Outhouse out to dinner, who would it be and why?

It would have to be Pa. I have a thousand questions I would want to ask him. Plus, I would love to be able to sit across from him and ask him why!

Any additional comments?

Paul Curtis' voice was just perfect for this novel. It felt exactly as it should have been; a grandpa telling the story of his life and revealing why the secret had been kept all these years.

Brilliant novel and fantastic read

The story is brilliantly written. Every time I hoped a topic would be covered or an answer exposed, it was. The narrator is excellent and I especially enjoyed his slight accents on different characters.

The ending (which I don't want to give away) was a bit of a surprise but touching.

My favorite part of the structure of this novel is that as certain aspects are revealed, so many of the earlier pieces come together.

I highly recommend this book.

Title: Literary Theory

Author: IntroBooks

Narrator: Andrea Giordani

Format: Unabridged

Length: 39 mins

Language: English

Publisher: IntroBooks

Genres: Fiction, Literary

Publisher's Summary:

Literary theory is a set of ideas and methods that help a listener or researcher to understand literature better. These ideas provide guidance for researchers during the practical process of interpretation. Most people think that literary theory is all about the meaning of literature. But it isn't the full truth. Literary theory does not just refer to the interpretation of the text; it is all about "what should be the meaning of the text?"

Methods and ideas that are described in literary theory act as principles for critics. They use them as criteria for art, literature, and even culture. These various criteria allow critics to consider works of art on the basis of certain assumptions within the school of theory. They also help critics to maintain their focus on particular objects of a work that is considered important.

Title: A Town of Empty Rooms

Author: Karen E. Bender

Narrator: Tanya Eby

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 43 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-29-16

Publisher: Recorded Books

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Fiction, Literary

Publisher's Summary:

A Town of Empty Rooms presents the story of Serena and Dan Shine, estranged from one another as they separately grieve over the recent loss of Serena's father and Dan's older brother. Serena's actions cause the couple and their two small children to be banished from New York City, and they settle in the only town that will offer Dan employment: Waring, North Carolina.

There, in the Bible Belt of America, Serena becomes enmeshed with the small Jewish congregation in town, led by an esoteric rabbi whose increasingly erratic behavior threatens the future of his flock. Dan and their young son are drawn into the Boy Scouts by their mysterious and vigilant neighbor, who may not have their best intentions at heart. Tensions accrue when matters of faith, identity, community, and family all fall into the crosshairs of contemporary small-town America.

A Town of Empty Rooms presents a fascinating insight into the lengths we will go to discover just where we belong.

Members Reviews:

Well-written story of a couple struggling to find themselves and each other...

Serena and Dan Shine are both struggling. Serena suffers a breakdown of sorts following the death of her beloved, larger-than-life father, while Dan is struggling with the death of his older brother. When Serena's actions force them to leave New York and head to Waring, North Carolina, the only place where Dan can find a job, their marriage is challenged as both of them face similar yet different emotions.

Deep in the heart of the Bible Belt, Serena tries to find ways to fit in and feel like she has a purpose, so she becomes active in a small synagogue in town. She is taken with the congregation's magnetic rabbi, who serves as a spiritual and emotional guidepost for her, although his own erratic behavior threatens his relationships with his congregants and his future. Dan, who feels betrayed by Serena's actions and desperate to reclaim some stability in his life, becomes somewhat obsessed with his involvement as a Cub Scout leader for their young son, Zeb.

Both Dan and Serena have encounters with their volatile next door neighbor, Forrest, who rules the neighborhood with threats and unstable actions. Forrest is the scout leader who wants everything his way and doesn't care what stands in his way--ethics, religious freedom, or plain decency. And they quickly find out what happens when you challenge him, which leaves them both questioning their decision to stay in Waring and their faith in each other.

Above all, this is a book about a marriage in turmoil, of struggling to find one's place, and coming to terms with loss. "Everyone lived in the empty rooms of their own longing, wrangling with their own versions of love and grief; sometimes, if they were lucky, they stepped out of their rooms to meet another person, to try, for a moment, to live in the precious room of another."

Karen Bender is a really strong writer, and I enjoyed the depth and complexity she brought to some of her characters, especially Dan, Serena, and Rabbi Golden. I also thought she did a great job exploring the simmering anti-Semitism that still exists in small towns, and how it comes out in seemingly innocent ways.

Publisher's Summary:

This beautiful, exotic novella follows Catarina (Cat) as she, in turn, follows the wish of her father, dying in San Francisco, to sell his old Lisbon apartment.

When Cat arrives in Portugal, she discovers that her friend Tónio has installed his ex-lover, Mateus, in the apartment, where he too is dying - of AIDS. As Cat struggles to untangle a complicated web of present desires and past secrets, she makes a series of shocking discoveries.

The Portuguese revolution serves as backdrop to Cat's father's terrible secret about his own suffering under the dictatorship, but it is the dramatic sequence of redemption-at-a-distance - as Cat's father manages to save Mateus, and even Tónio, from across the ocean - that will most startle listeners, and leave all but the most stalwart in tears.

I have never done this before

but I have to give one star. The plot is familiar but handled well. The characters are stereotypes but handled well. It's a pretty good book. It has humor, romance, action, mystery. But it has no editing at all. It is absolutely horrible. This is supposedly an award winning author. Nor am I the first to mention the editing problem. So Frank, are you a greedy a hole who despises your readers? Are you so arrogant you not only charge money for this book, but expect me to buy more of your trash? Good luck with that!

better than most modern westerns

Fairly standard story line, rich Brit comes west to see his sister, meets experienced westerner who helps him through the difficult times. Mr. Roderus seems to have researched the old west so that you can feel you are there while reading this as opposed to many modern writers, writing westerns, who only seem to write what they think it would have been like in those times. I find it difficult to understand how someone who researched his century and locations so well would allow his c.1890 narrator to utilize terms that would not be coined for 50 or more years, specifically "radiopaque foreign body" and 'Unilateral mammogram" . If you want a good western, buy this book. I'm going to pick up another Roderus when I finish this review.

Unilateral Mammogram?????????

What the heck!? The story was okay, the folksy style would have been fine but there were so many instances of incorrect words in a sentence that I often had to stop and try to figure out what the writer was trying to say. Names kept changing, such as Cookie vs Coosie. I have a hard time believing that Roderus is so widely published and popular. By the end of the story, I think I finally figured out that whenever "unilateral mammagram" was printed, it was supposed to be "um". The plot was rather predictable too. I was sorely disappointed.

great book but too many typos that detract from the story line i had read this years ago and was really excited to find the book on my amazon list however i am disappointed in the poor job of proofreading and the apparent intentional addition of the same medical terms repeatedly. the quality of this edition will affect my future purchases.

I liked it

A range savy cowboy between jobs hooks up with an Englishman believed to be an invalid. Next comes a sheep dog and beautiful English widow Lady. Her husband and all the cattle died in a blizzard so her brother comes to take her back to England. The Lady has a taste of life in the west and doesn't want to go back to stuffy people and that life style.

Tylko jedna mysl mi towarzyszyla: "To sie musi kiedys skonczyc". Nie myslalam o Marco ani nawet o synu i mezu, tylko o tym, zeby przetrwac. Gdy zasypialam pod drzewem, mokra, zziebnieta, i tulilam sie do pnia, marzylam o odrobinie ciepla z kominka albo o jasnym sloncu, które nagle pojawi sie wsród gestwiny i ogrzeje mnie. Gdy udalo sie rozpalic jakis nedzny ogien, niemal tratowalismy sie, zeby go poczuc. I gdy nieco wysychalam, gdy juz robilo sie cieplo, odzywal sie zoladek. Domagal sie strawy, jakiejkolwiek. Jesli udalo sie trafic na jakichs oddanych rewolucji ludzi, jadlam jak opetana, by potem zwijac sie z bólu, który rozwalal mi trzewia. Po takich aktach obzarstwa przychodzil czas na dreczaca biegunke. Odbierala mi sily i wladze w nogach. Juz nie myslalam o zimnie, glodzie i wilgoci, tylko o zrobieniu kolejnego kroku na bagnistej sciezce. Szeptalam slowa modlitwy "Ojcze nasz", lapiac sie wszystkiego, co moglo dodac mi sily.
