    Members Reviews:
    Good sequel, moderately fair performance.
    This was a suitable sequel. Storyline kept you engaged, however the narrator's submissive, often times, meek delivery of speech from what should be men of affirmative and decisive Texas Rangers was annoying. "iiii.... , ahahah..."
    narrator was lacking
    good story but the characters portrayed by Dave Wright were lacking.
    Zackary Bass was portrayed as weak and indecisive. A TEXAS RANGER is a strong no nonsense individual.
    A bit choppy
    There are some bits where transition from one event to another takes quite a leap of faith.
    Not a terrible book, but not terribly good either
    very enjoyable
    keeps me awake and entertained on the car ride to work. cant wait for the next installment.
    Book deserves a better narrator
    Great story but the narrator did the characters and story an injustice. He doesn't do characters very well and doesn't always keep track of characters' accents/voices. Additionally, the narrator mispronounced some words here and there.

    Publisher's Summary:
    Sensitive, big-hearted, and achingly self-conscious, 40-year-old Aaron Englund long ago escaped the confines of his Midwestern hometown, but he still feels like an outcast. After 20 years under the Pygmalion-like direction of his older partner, Walter, Aaron at last decides it is time to stop letting life happen to him and to take control of his own fate.
    But soon after establishing himself in San Francisco - where he alternates between a shoddy garage apartment and the absurdly ramshackle ESL school where he teaches - Aaron sees that real freedom will not come until he has made peace with his memories of Morton, Minnesota: a cramped town whose 400 souls form a constellation of Aaron's childhood heartbreaks and hopes.
    After Aaron's father died in the town parade, it was the larger-than life misfits of his childhood - a sardonic, wheelchair bound dwarf named Clarence; a generous, obese baker named Bernice; a kindly aunt preoccupied with dreams of The Rapture - who helped Aaron find his place in a provincial world hostile to difference. But Aaron's sense of rejection runs deep: When Aaron was 17, Dolores - Aaron's loving yet selfish and enigmatic mother - vanished one night with the town pastor. Aaron hasn't heard from Dolores in more than 20 years, but when a shambolic PI named Bill offers a key to closure, Aaron must confront his own role in his troubled past and rethink his place in a world of unpredictable, life-changing forces.
    Lori Ostlund's debut novel is an openhearted contemplation of how we grow up and move on, how we can turn our deepest wounds into our greatest strengths. Written with homespun charm and unceasing vitality, After the Parade is a glorious new anthem for the outsider.
    Critic Reviews:
    "Lori Ostlund's wonderful novel After the Parade should come with a set of instructions: Be perfectly still. Listen carefully. Peer beneath every placid surface. Be alive to the possibility of wonder." (Richard Russo, author of Empire Falls and Bridge of Sighs
    "As full-bodied and full-blooded a novel as I've read in a long time. The prose sparkles, and the author is so smart and so kind to her characters: a rare combination and so refreshing to read." (Daniel Wallace, author of Big Fish and The Kings and Queens of Roam)

    My first reading of Jeanette Winterson.
    Absolutely loved it! I can't find a story more impressive, touching, mysterious and sentimental than this book. Will continue reading her other books. She is a genius!
    The audio performance was great, however I couldn't connect to the female voice. The male voice was so passionate and moving.

    Publisher's Summary:
    In nine stories that move between nouveau riche Los Angeles and the working-class East Coast, Kevin Morris explores the vicissitudes of modern life. Whether looking for creative ways to let off steam after a day in court or enduring chaperone duties on a school field trip to the nation's capital, the heroes of White Man's Problems struggle to navigate the challenges that accompany marriage, family, success, failure, growing up, and getting older.
    The themes of these perceptive, wry, and sometimes humorous tales pose philosophical questions about conformity and class, duplicity and decency, and the actions and meaning of an average man's life. Morris' confident debut strikes the perfect balance between comedy and catastrophe - and introduces a virtuosic new voice in American fiction.
    Includes narration by Sarah Polley and Kevin Morris.
    Cover art by Karen Green.
    Critic Reviews:
    "Highlighted by Oscar winner McConaughey, who delivers the story of two fathers who share the loss of a child, these nuggets of universality are both entertaining and engaging--and made even more so by the gifted actors at work here." (AudioFile)
    Members Reviews:
    Intriguing Storylines . . ,but
    The endings were too tentative - he leaves you hanging. The author captures contemporary life well, especially the corporate environment. The narrators were great. I look forward to more stories from this author but work on those endings.
    Don't Know How I Feel About This One...
    Would you try another book from Kevin Morris and/or the narrators?
    No
    Any additional comments?
    I got this book because Audible was hyping it so much, the free sample seemed like it was going somewhere, there were famous narrators, and - of course - the title is very provocative.
    Then I read the whole thing so that I could give a fully informed opinion:
    1. The book is not "crazy racist." That's what I searched the summary and reviews for before even getting it and nothing seemed to address this point. While there are racial slurs used and minority characters that don't receive the best of treatment, these are always in the context of giving an honest portrayal of protagonist. In other words, you can go ahead and get this book without worrying that your money is secretly going to the Klan or anything.
    2. The book (probably) isn't an attempt to actually explore Euro American culture or to create awareness that everyone's suffering matters (what may be a small thing to one person is a big thing to another - regardless of anyone's race). This is really disappointing to me (I do believe that everyone matters and that we aren't going to deal with the issue of race in the US until we all acknowledge that Euro Americans do have a culture and are capable of experiencing hardship, etc - it's part of a larger conversation that needs to be had).
    3. The book isn't making light of actual problems that Euro Americans can encounter. The stories often touch on the loss (death, illness, divorce) of loved ones, depression / work-life balance, etc. So Euro Americans can also feel free to get this book without worrying that it's an attack on your very real problems or anything.
    So what is the book...?
    A series of short stories that Morris somehow got famous people to narrate. All have White male protagonists.

    Publisher's Summary:
    In their secret world, unspoken wishes for pleasure come true...and the allure of glamour and passion can easily disguise a deadly secret.
    After a tumultuous riches-to-rags childhood, Ian Kerr decided to spend his life focused on making money - and it's paid off. Then he meets sassy, smart-mouthed bike messenger Victoria "Tiny" Corielli, and he wants nothing more than to introduce her to his world of elite luxury...and enticing desire. But a businessman as ruthless as Ian always has enemies lurking in the shadows - the kind of enemies who violently claimed his parents and are willing to use Victoria as a pawn in their deadly game.
    Plucked from her lowly walk-up apartment and financial struggles into a glittering world of wealth and privilege, Victoria is almost overwhelmed...and almost delirious with insatiable desire for Ian. Then sensuality turns to serious peril as Ian's rivals - and the people Victoria thought she could trust - close in, putting her in jeopardy. Torn between the temptation of carnal passion and the terror of unfathomable danger, she discovers that the dark side of suddenly having it all is knowing you could lose everything.

    2.5 STARS... & SHOULD'VE BEEN CALLED LOSING CONTROL
    Well after the first book I had high hopes for this listen told from Ian's POV but what a total disappointment. Now hold on because I'm about to rant here. He was totally and utterly consumed, absorbed and obsessed about Tiny, Tiny's body, Tiny's courage, in depth details about Tiny's juices (I know yuk right but it had to be said) and anything in Tiny's life. His Company, his long awaited revenge and his billions were rapidly going down the drain but his focus was on when was the next time he could get into her was. He was a 32 year old successful Gazillionaire who acted and sounded like a love struck jealous teen only interested in sex with Tiny.... he sadly didn't have the Alpha businessman feel like so many of his predecessors in this genre. Tiny wasn't much better - she put herself in danger, didn't quite come clean about certain activities and her poor me I'm a dyslexic attitude got boring.
    There was plenty of romance but it was drowned out by the dirty talk, orgasms and sex.
    There was a bit of drama but again it was drowned out by.... ditto - ditto and ditto.
    Worth a credit? Thankfully, at under $10 I didn't use one but, IMO, NO to a credit and NO to cash as it was just a sex sex sex plot - sex sex sex bit of angst - sex sex sex bit of anti-climatic drama - sex sex sex at last a bit of action that wasn't between Tiny's legs and then, thank the Heavens, a HEA ending.
    Hmmmm
    Lots of sex scenes which kinda reminded me of crossfire series and not enough of a developed plot. It had potential though. Some side plots didn't make much sense to me like why didn't the thugs give up Cecelia but whatevs! Still was ok.
    LOVE THE KERR CHRONICLES
    I have long been impressed with JF's writing and this one especially. I liked JY's narration of the background characters much better than his voice for Ian, it was too breathy.

    Publisher's Summary:
    It's Romeo and Juliet all over again.... As a teen Maddy Harvey was a bit of an ugly duckling. Luckily she's blossomed since then, and Maddy thanks God for this small miracle when a tall, handsome stranger comes to her rescue one starry summer's night.
    But instant attraction turns to a disaster in the making when Maddy learns the identity of her superman: Kerr McKinnon. Of all the colorful residents of the small Cotswold town of Ashcombe, why did it have to be him? Because, as family feuds go, the Montagues and the Capulets have nothing on the Harveys and the McKinnons.
    Members Reviews:
    Dumb Premise
    The premise of Falling for You was just too dumb. Maddy's family hates Kerr's entire family because his brother killed Maddy's sister by driving recklessly as a teen. Sorry, but blaming an entire family for the actions of one person is stupid, immature and how wars get started.
    When Maddy (now an adult) and others allowed this family grudge to influence their lives, I lost all interest in this book. While there were some entertaining parts, I winced every time a supposedly mature person acted like a bratty child.
    Awful Narrator!!
    What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
    A UK-born narrator.
    What other book might you compare Falling for You to and why?
    You and me, Always by Jill Mansell!!
    How did the narrator detract from the book?
    They could have chosen a British person to narrate one of my favourite books. The terribly fake 'English' accent, with a hard to hide American twang, took far too much away from the story. It broke my heart to have to hear it, but I give props to the narrator for trying so very hard.
    Any additional comments?
    I think Susie Riddell is the perfect narrator for Mansell's novels. Shes' Wonderful!!!!
    Falling for you
    The book itself was up to the normal Jill Mansell standard but the narrator's accent was off putting. I almost didn't listen but persisted. Glad I did but will be reluctant to purchase another read by Molly O'Malley.
    The narration makes the book unbearable
    I read this book many years ago and it was light and sweet as all Jill mansell's books are. Good for a mindless smile. Listening to this book though?? The narrator BUTCHERS it. I couldn't bear to listen to it, even in the background.
    Narrator was just awful!
    Narrator had an awful accent and pronounced words in the strangest way. Almost could not complete the audio book was very off putting.
    I suggest listening to a sample before you purchase.
    Story line was ok. A bit weak at the end.

    Publisher's Summary:
    Told with Beth Harbison's wit and warmth, If I Could Turn Back Time is the fantasy of every woman who has ever thought, If I could go back in time, knowing what I know now, I'd do things so differently...
    Thirty-seven-year-old Ramie Phillips has led a very successful life. She made her fortune, and now she hobnobs with the very rich and occasionally the semifamous, and she enjoys luxuries she only dreamed of as a middle-class kid growing up in Potomac, Maryland. But despite it all, she can't ignore the fact that she isn't necessarily happy. In fact lately Ramie has begun to feel more than a little empty.
    On a boat with friends off the Florida coast, she tries to fight her feelings of discontent with steel will and hard liquor. No one even notices as she gets up and goes to the diving board and dives off....
    Suddenly Ramie is waking up, straining to understand a voice calling in the distance.... It's her mother: "Wake up! You're going to be late for school again. I'm not writing a note this time...."
    Ramie finds herself back on the eve of her 18th birthday, with a second chance to see the people she's lost and change the choices she regrets. How did she get back here? Has she gone off the deep end? Is she really back in time? Above all she'll have to answer the question that no one else can: What it is that she really wants from the past and for her future?

    Great story and Narrator
    Have you listened to any of Orlagh Cassidys other performances before? How does this one compare?
    Orlagh Cassidy is perfect for Beth Harbison books. Every time I start a new book by Harbison, it's like being reunited with an old friend.
    Any additional comments?
    Great story, as usual from Harbison!
    love love love
    Even though I don't believe in what happens in the end, I love the way Beth Harbison spins a tale that holds intrigue, laughter, and enough suspense so that you finish the book the same day!!!
    Another Disappointment
    I managed to convince everyone to take a chance on "Driving With the Top Down;" one of the authors previous books. Well, we all loved it; even the old man. This is the second selection of the author's we've tried since we finished that one and they've both been wasted credits. A very slow beginning didn't exactly set up the crux of the story very well and I gave it up way before the story was finished. Do yourself a favor and save yourself the bother of returning it.
    Not her best...
    I loveBeth Harbison but this was not her best story.
    It kind of dragged on.
    Really good book
    I enjoyed this book very much. The narrator did a great job. I highly recommend it.

    Publisher's Summary:
    Inspired by the author's experiences working with Hunter S. Thompson, an exhilarating, full-speed-ahead roman à clef about an ambitious young writer who takes a job as an assistant to an unmotivated, drug-addled literary icon and helps him finish his long-awaited novel - by any means necessary.
    Alley Russo is a recent Ivy League grad desperately trying to make it in New York publishing. She has no connections, even less money, and slings drinks at a Bleecker Street dive bar while slogging through an unpaid internship at Beat magazine. It's there that she hears that the infamous Walker Reade is looking for an assistant - after eight others have recently come and gone - to help him finish his next novel. Hungry for a chance to transcend her working-class roots, not to mention score an experienced editor's eyes on the manuscript she's poured her heart into, Alley takes the job.
    After surviving an absurd three-day "trial period" involving a .44 magnum, purple-pyramid acid, violent verbal outbursts, brushes with fame and the law, a bevy of peacocks, and a whole lot of cocaine, she's invited to stay. Over the ensuing months, as Alley attempts to coax the novel out of Walker one long page at a time, the endless procrastinating, vampiric schedule, Herculean substance abuse, Walker's mounting debt, and his casual gunplay will exact a toll on Alley's psyche. By the time she fully grasps the reality of her situation - that she's alone in the Colorado Rockies at the mercy of a drug-addicted icon whose literary powers are waning - her fate may already be sealed.

    good HST story
    enjoyed the story and a look inside the writing process and life of Hunter S. Thompson.
    Blown away.
    I'm 24, but I have been an avid Hunter S. Thompson reader since middle school. My parents probably would have thought I was bound for juvie if they knew what I was reading.
    He has inspired me so much throughout my early adult life - not the drug use, alcoholism, or firearms HST, but rather the ever opinionated, never sugar-coated, and always respected version.
    This book blew my mind. Tears, laughter, concern... All while driving down the highway listening to it be read to me. I felt a strong, almost strange sort of connection to each character. So much so, that as characters entered the story, I would quickly start researching, trying to find out who they actually were.
    The next time someone asks me for a "good book" to read, I will suggest this and add that it's better than good.

    Members Reviews:
    An ingenious plot
    This engaging story explores the unexpectedly intense emotional life of a woman in her sixties. The plot is very cleverly constructed with numerous tributaries that connect in odd ways. Sometimes I had to suspend disbelief but my misgivings were skillfully managed. Josie Lawrence is very good indeed. She reads with wonderfully diverse accents and a rich baritone for the man ( who I found the least interesting character) She throws herself into every role with her well known exuberance and is sometimes very funny even though it is quite a dark tale.
    I was never sure of the outcome and listened happily in long stretches. Ultimately the book feels a bit contrived
    And more like a film plot than a novel.
    Mediocre story, awful reading.
    Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
    This is not one of Deborah Moggach's best books, but it is o.k. The ending is something of a let-down and left me feeling dissatisfied. The story drags in parts. What really ruined it for me was Josie Lawrence's performance. She reads too fast and with an annoying "breathlessness" to her voice. I also did not like her attempts at difference voices for different characters.
    Would you be willing to try another book from Deborah Moggach? Why or why not?
    Yes, but not if read by Josie Lawrence.
    Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Josie Lawrence?
    Almost anyone. Patricia Gallimore is excellent.
    Did Something to Hide inspire you to do anything?
    No
    Any additional comments?
    Josie Lawrence was so annoying I almost didn't finish this book but I wanted to know how it ended.
    Disappointing
    I've read and enjoyed a lot of books by this author. This was the worst! Self indulgent, going nowhere, failure to live up to its promise. Hard to finish but I did!
    Loved it
    This book has everything. Superlative writing- Josie Lawrence's characterisation and reading excels . The very best
    Unusual story
    Would you consider the audio edition of Something to Hide to be better than the print version?
    Yes, this was easy to listen to and quite a disjointed story so came over better audibly than in print.
    What does Josie Lawrence bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you had only read the book?
    She read the book beautifully, expressive voice with intelligent reading. No awkward pauses or unusual intonation.

    Resumen del editor:
    Booka audiobooks presenta el Audiolibro de la premiada novela de culto Opio en Las Nubes de Rafael Chaparro. Ganadora del Premio Nacional de Literatura en 1992, Opio en las nubes está calificada como una de las mejores novelas colombianas escritas del siglo XX. Opio en las nubes se constituyó en todo un hito literario a través de la década de los noventa. En la actualidad es un libro mundialmente reconocido, leído y criticado. Es Pink Tomate, es Marciana, es Max, es Alain, es Highway, es un día con olor a whisky, con olor a mierda, con sabor a cigarrillo, con hendrix de fondo.... Eso es Opio en las nubes, un recorrido por la música, por unos bares, por los buses, por una ciudad desconocida, por el sabor de unos labios que sólo el autor logró describir. Varias de sus historias se desarrollan en un apartamento ubicado en avenida blanchot, en una ambulancia dirigida a un hospital, en una cárcel, en una ciudad que parece Bogotá pero tiene mar, en bares con nombres extraños.Sus personajes van desde un gato que habla y bebe whisky, un chico que fue criado en una cárcel, una bailarina llamada Marciana, y una chica llamada Amarilla.La historia es narrada en tiempo indefinido, entrelaza el presente-pasado-futuro de una exquisita manera, sus personajes son descarados (por así decirlo) son exageradamente sinceros, estas personas, incluyendo los gatos, caminan por una ciudad que a lo mejor nosotros ya hemos recorrido o hemos querido recorrer, se drogan a deshoras, beben whisky desde las 7 a.m, y deambulan por las calles sin rumbo fijo, son personajes de todos y de nadie.El lenguaje utilizado por Chaparro es absorbente, rápido, sin comas, sin pausa alguna para el lector, su ritmo es acelerado, al son del rock de la época, al sabor de un cigarrillo y todo esto hace que uno no quiera soltar la novela.
    Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.
