Title: Rilla of Ingleside

Author: L.M. Montgomery

Narrator: Barbara Caruso

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 50 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-31-06

Publisher: Recorded Books

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 186 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

With translations into 15 languages, renowned author L.M. Montgomery penned some 500 short stories and poems as well as the classic Anne of Green Gables novels.

Rilla Blythe, youngest daughter of Anne, is almost 15 in 1914. As her brothers and friends prepare to go off to battle, the irrepressible Rilla realizes that she will be changed forever and the world will never be the same.

Narrator Barbara Caruso presents a poignant delivery of this family classic.

Editorial Reviews:

Many know of the young Anne of Green Gables. However, many fewer know that Montgomery continued Anne's saga through her adult years. This work, the final installment, concerns Anne and Gilber's youngest child, daughter Rilla. It is the summer of 1914, and Rilla is a typically frivolous adolescent girl of 15. However, as the war engulfs her world, she becomes a woman, who must embrace triumphs and tragedies. Barbara Caruso gives a winsome performance in keeping with the heroine. Caruso's voice is clear and her delivery soft. She performs each character with energy and great expression, affecting a separate voice for each.

Best book Iv'e heard

I loved this book I've listened to it at least 10 times. I can nearly say it word for word. I think the narrator really understands the people in the book

Delightful Rendition

L.M. Montgomery's "Rilla of Ingleside" was always one of my favorite books growing up, and it is just as delightful to rediscover it now. Barbara Caruso's voice is flexible and captures the different 'voices' in the novel very well. There is some serious (wartime) subject matter, and she carries this off very well in addition to the lighter, humorous material. This audiobook is a very enjoyable listen for any Anne fans.

Amazing!

It was a really great book and I have listened to it countless times. Just I wish Walter did not die. And I didn't like the ending but I love all other parts of the book.

I kind of wish I hadn't read this one

Strange to read so much about WWI and so much over the top warmongering. The performance by Barbara Caruso was great, as always, but the story was just too heart-wrenchingly sad.

great insight into world war I

What made the experience of listening to Rilla of Ingleside the most enjoyable?

I had listened to all of the Anne stories in order. This was a nice continuation of the story.

What did you like best about this story?

I especially liked the insight into the world war 1 conflict. since this was written so close to the time of the war, I can trust that the responses were true to what real people went through during that time.

What about Barbara Carusos performance did you like?

She did a nice job of capturing the personalities in the story and adding to their interest.

Then he meets Alicia. She's blind, and Bobby can't resist talking to her, trusting her. But people are starting to wonder where Bobby is. Bobby knows that his invisibility could have dangerous consequences for his family and that time is running out. He has to find out how to be seen again...before it's too late.

Whats with the pauses?

would have been a solid 5 star if there wasn't the random pauses. I love the story love the narator and the bittersweet end is one of the better endings.

spectacular!

This was nothing at all like the Disney movie. This was a wonderful story and performance.

Masterful!

A perfect end to a great series. An epic tale with lessons that aren't beat over your head and aren't there just to be there. Not a wasted word of character. Fflewdur, Eilonwy, Gurgi, Hen Wen, Coll, Run, Dalben came back from my adolescent memories. The story is just as thrilling to me in my 50s as it was when 9 or 10. Top notch storytelling! The narrator brought it all together on his unique spin on the characters made them all so memorable.

Sad it's over

What an epic tale, I can't believe it's all over, the tales of the assistant pig keeper and his companions will stick with me forever. I can't think of a more noble saga, a hero so deserving, and and ending that can compare to the emotional coaster that closes this book. Truly a story that could stand as high as the rest.

Fabulous. Beautiful language, enchanting delivery

We loved this book, which is so well written. Profound, wise, funny.. A font of beautiful language. An exciting hero's tale with much adventure and all the trappings. Plus, just beautifully narrated in this audio version!! My son and I have been riveted by this series

Members Reviews:

Not just for children

Excellent young adult book that adults would like as well. For the first time, after seeing reviews that say if you like Harry Potter you will like this book, do I agree. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and wish more of Diana Wynne Jones' books were available in audio.

Alternate historys in fantasy world settings

What did you love best about Witch Week?

Diana Wynne Jones has been one of my favorite authors for over thirty years. I bought "A Tale Of Time City," when I was young and fell in love with her writing style immediately. She creates such a vivid world that holds it own life. Her characters in this book cover a full spectrum from nice to naughty, from mean to bullied and from popular to vilified.This story is based in England in the boarding school system of England. The characters are in a forced schooling system and Diana creates a dark unhappy image of that alternate world school system. The story builds including more and more characters bringing them together nicely for the conclusion of this wonderful story.There are a few weak spots in Gerard Doyle's reading style but as a whole this is a great book and a good choice. It's worth a listen and his great for young people age 12 and up.

What did you like best about this story?

The character development and twisty and turning plot. The integration of variety of sub-plots and characters makes me want to listen/read this story over and over again.

What does Gerard Doyle bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

He is a pleasant reader, his pronunciation of certain words in the English, (not American language) make his reading easy and interesting to listen too.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

This book is unabridged and may be too long for just one sitting unless you have a significant time to book listening. This is a great title to listen to when you're doing long range road trips though.

Any additional comments?

This is a great classic Diana Wynne Jones title. I read this book originally perhaps third in my quest to keep up with her work. It is one of the reasons I kept reading her work into adulthood.

Fantastically Awesome

This book is full of twists and turns that make it a wonder to listen to. It is hilarious and read very well.

wonderful!

This book is fantastic. I love how the reader keeps you wanting to hear more. the writer is wonderful. as i listen i can actually see and live with the characters. a great book for long trips with any age.

Favorite chrestomanci book

Really fun ideas and individual stories. I really enjoyed the problem at hand and the way the perspective swapped between different characters.

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 21 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-05-05

Publisher: Recorded Books

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 230 votes

Publisher's Summary:

Princess Emma will do just about anything to get out of marrying the self-centered Prince Jorge. So when she meets a frog named Eadric who claims, of course, to be a prince, she decides to give him a kiss and see what happens. Bad idea. The frog stays a frog, and worse still, Emma turns into a frog herself. It turns out only the person who cast the spell can break it, so Emma and Eadric are soon hopping along trying to find the witch who can make them human again. This clever twist on the classic fairy tale is full of good-natured fun and romance.

Enjoyable for the whole family

This is a great book for a family car trip. We all enjoyed it - from my eight-year-old daughter through my teenaged sons (honestly!) to me. No one even minded listening to sections again so that others could catch up. Excellent

Enjoyable for the whole family

This is a story written primarily for children but which is certainly enjoyable even if you are an adult. The story is simple enough for a child to follow, but has enough twists to keep an adult interested. There are occasional sidelong references to common sayings or phrases that adults will find amusing but which will be unnoticed by a younger listener who isnt as familiar with Englishs idioms.

The narrator is excellent. She differentiates the voices well and tells the story with apparent enthusiasm.

I think that anyone over the age of five will enjoy this book, and, while an adult will also enjoy it, it really would rate only three stars for folks over 18.

Listen to this one while on an automobile trip with kids and everyone will have a good time.

Loren

i was entertained

a great childrens story humorus adventure were kissing the frog well... didnt have the expected results ive listened several times a nice walk into childhood emagination loved it

Entertaining!

My children (11, 8 and 5) all enjoyed listening to this "modern" fairy tale while on a roadtrip. The story is entertaining, humorous and made the trip all the more pleasant.

my 5 year old grandson loved this book.

fun story for kids and adults to listen to. great reader. I enjoyed it along with my 11 year old granddaughter and 5 year old grandson.

Author: Michelle Paver

Narrator: Ian McKellen

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 26 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-17-05

Publisher: HarperAudio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 207 votes

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

Six thousand years ago. Evil stalks the land. Only 12-year-old Torak and his wolf-cub companion can defeat it. Their journey together takes them through deep forests, across giant glaciers, and into dangers they never imagined.

In this original and spectacularly told adventure story, the first book in The Chronicles of Ancient Darkness, Torak and Wolf are joined by an incredible cast of characters as they battle to save their world.

Critic Reviews:

"Paver's depth of research...makes this impressive British import...intriguing and believable." (School Library Journal)

Members Reviews:

Where are book 2 and 3?

this book is fantastic.. but where are the second and third book??

Best Reader

Ian McKellen brought this book to life. He is the best reader I've ever heard, bringing wonder and mystery and excitement to the narrative as well as to the dialog.

If this book is the first of a series, I hope he reads them all.

Young at heart

Fun book even for adults. I'm 45, loved it. My dad who's 79 enjoyed it too.

Hooked For The Duration

After listening to this first book of a six-book series I know that I am hooked for the duration. Paver takes some basic story elements and brings them excitingly alive ; a boy's kinship with an animal; a battle against pure evil; a quest of myth-like proportions.

Loved Tall Tailless and Wolf

I listened to Ian McKellen (Gandalf) bring this piece to stunning life. It's a fantasy, set in ancient Bronze-Age Europe, uncounted aeons ago. The first of 6 or 7 books. Beautifully written, the story is fast-paced and action-packed. It's told in 3rd person, with the POV shifting from the boy Torak to his brother a wolf cub. The setting is vivid and the story sometimes felt almost real, like it could almost have happened, back when people lived in tribal clans, ate reindeer, and worshipped the spirits in rocks and rivers and ravens. There are some life-lessons embedded in the story. For example, the ritual of respect young Torak showed to any animals he killed, thanking it and promising to use every part to sustain life (the hide, bones, and meat).

PLOT (no major spoilers): A suddenly-orphaned youth and his wolf cub are destined to save the world from a malevolent demon-possessed bear. As his father (Fa) is dying, having been mawled by the bear, 12-year-old Torak makes him a promise: To journey into the frozen North, to the tallest mountain, home of the World Spirit, and plead for help, for only this Spirit is powerful enough to defeat such a demon. Torak must also offer sacrifices (find three pieces of the Nanuak: the river eye, stone bite, etc) to the World Spirit. He must also offer up his own heart's blood. (He wonders, "All of it??") No one has ever climbed the World Mountain or seen the World Spirit the stuff of legend. Torak is frightened and frequently tempted to break his promise, but he keeps his word (another moral of the story). Help comes from a surprising source.

They make a great team, Wolf, Tarok, and the surprise helper.

It's a coming-of-age story, wrapped up in a quest. A "fellowship of the ring" but with only 3 in the group.

Secondary characters are Hord, Oslak, Fin-Kedin, an old Mage woman of the Raven Clan, a disgusting Walker, etc.

I enjoyed it well enough, but it's really written for kids.

Title: Last Shot

Subtitle: A Final Four Mystery

Author: John Feinstein

Narrator: John Feinstein

Genres: Kids, Ages 8-10

Publisher's Summary:

But the games going on behind the scenes between the coaches, the players, the media, the money-men, and the fans turn out to be even more fiercely competitive than those on the court. Steven and his fellow winner, Susan Carol Anderson, are nosing around the Superdome and overhear what sounds like a threat to throw the championship game. Now they have just 48 hours to figure out who is blackmailing one of MSU's star players and why.

Members Reviews:

Incredible!!!!!!!!!

Incredible book narrated by Feinstein himself! Great story. Maybe too immature for adults but great for me!

Enjoyable for kids and basketball fans

Yes, this was directed at young teenagers, but it has enough of the interesting details for avid college basketball fans. Some of the "inside" descriptions are a nice touch. The names are different than the publisher's summary though.

Good listen for basketball junkies-young and old

I enjoyed this audiobook, probably because, like the author, I'm a basketball junkie myself. He does a good job of integrating real people and a real event (the Final Four) with the fictional characters and the mysterious plot that the 2 young writers discover. His perspective from the point of view of an adolescent boy must be somewhat autobiographical because it seemed very real to me. I thought the author did a good job of narrating, better than most other authors I have heard.

Book club hit

We read this for my sons book club ages 12-13. They all really liked it.

Great story, mediocre narration

This book made a long car ride with my two sons, ages 8 and 10, a lot of fun. They loved that the main characters were kids and they really got into all the backstage information on the final four. The story is about the two young sports journalists who are at the final four because they won a contest and they overhear one of the star players being presured to throw a game. In order to enjoy this book, you have to accept the flimsey resons why the kids look into this themselves without asking any of the gorwn-ups for help. If you can make that leap of belief, the rest if the story is enjoyable. Somebody else should have narrated the book, though. John Feinstein is a great writer but a bad narrator.

Critic Reviews:

"A remarkable novel." (New York Times Book Review)

"This is lovely writing - real, touching, and pared cleanly down to the essentials." (Booklist)

Members Reviews:

Exquisitely written; perfectly read

I've had "So B. It" on my wish list for months, based simply on the intriguing description. Now I am only sorry I didn't get it sooner just so I could tell more people how wonderful it is. The story is almost magical in its beauty and the narration only enhances that beauty. According to other sources this is a book written for young people, ages 9-12, but I have grandchildren older than that! This is a story written for all ages. I normally choose audiobooks of epic length, often in the mystery or thriller categories, or non-fiction in a variety of fields, but "So B. It" could equally be classified as mystery, thriller, chick-lit or self-improvement, not to mention children's literature. Truly a story for all ages, to be read over and over again. Soof!

This is destined to be a classic. Sarah Weeks, more, please!

loved it!

my daughter got me the book (signed by the author) for me and wanted to listen to the audio version with me. very enjoyable read and listen.

Audio books don't get better than this

In fact, no book gets better than this. It is beautiful, sad, thrilling and perhaps the best book I have read/heard in years. Sarah Weeks tells more story in 4 and 1/2 hours than most best selling authors tell in a lifetime.

The narrator is every bit as good as the author--a perfect match. Don't hesitate. This is a surefire winner for your next download.

Great Listen!

This was a great listen! I really enjoyed the storyline as well as the characters. I look forward to other books by this author!

Tough listen.

OMG with the deliberate speech impediment, every L & R are double wuus? Sorry no.

Critic Reviews:

"This book has a well-structured, suspenseful plot with lots of twists and turns and enough danger to keep young readers shivering. Background music, done to good effect, adds the feeling of an old-fashioned radio drama. Reader Laura Linney seems made to order....She keeps the pace lively and maintains just the right balance between narration and dramatization." (AudioFile)

Another Great Narration

Love all the Nancy Drew books, but the ones narrated by Laura Linney are by far and away the best. The other narrators sound ridiculous. I wish she would do the whole series.

Excellent

Laura Linney is the best narrator ever! She sums up Nancy's personality and characteristics with her voice.

Laura Linney is the perfect narrator

What did you love best about The Secret of Red Gate Farm?

This is one of the most enjoyable Nancy Drews we've heard. We listened to it as a family over and over.

What does Laura Linney bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

Laura Linney's voice establishes Nancy Drew as a smart and sophisticated young lady. Laura's voice is very pleasant.

Loved it!

First of all, this is one of my most favorite Nancy Drew books so I was very excited to see it in audio form. I was not disappointed! The narrator, Laura Linney, is just perfect. Her tone of voice, the speed of her reading, the background music...it all made for a very entertaining and thrilling listen. I was able to vividly picture in my own mind everything that was being read to me. A definite must have!

Curious or What??

Curiosity is something Nancy has in abundance. And she seems to always to have a positive resolution for any problem that crosses her path.

Long Live Nancy; A Trip Back in Time

Nancy Drew was an important part of my childhood. These books helped me to love reading, made me a mystery fan, and (yes!) fostered my feminism, too. For this, I am grateful to all the people who were Carolyn Keene.

Revisiting Nancy is a mixed-bag experience. Of course, the books are not spectacularly well-written. And, in modern terms, our heroine is pretty traditional. The stories are tame.

BUT, Laura Linney reads with a respect for the original excitement many of us experienced when reading Nancy Drew. I love the sound effects and the drama in her voice. It's like being a twelve-year-old again.

If you are in the mood for uncritical nostalgia, go ahead and try "The Secret of Shadow Ranch". Be sure you only select the Drew mysteries that are performed by Laura Linney. Curl up and enjoy a trip back in time!

Daughter loves it

I purchased this for my daughter, but ended up hearing it several times in pieces :) I can't say enough about Laura Linney's narration--she is wonderful!

Immersion Reading

Each Nancy Drew book has exitement , danger, and misceif. however,in the last book in the series The Mystery At Lilac Inn,you could switch to immersion reading in this book I found that you cannot. This was a downside to this book but I stilled enjoyed listening to the book itself

Love a Good Dude Ranch..

The author does have a way with descriptive words that make you see the countryside as though you were there. Brings back memories.

Sleuth Nancy

Nancy, Bess, and George visit a horse ranch and are once again entangled in a mystery!
