    Publisher's Summary:
    The war happened, but only Bobby Booclear remembers it. It lasted less than a day but, in less than six hours, an 11-year-old boy became a war criminal. In Westchester County, New York. It's that kind of story. And Bobby is, finally, telling his version of what happened on that day, in 1954. In a rousing tale filled with cap guns, spin-the-bottle, flavored ice cubes, water bombs, fireworks, and more hammy death scenes than your parents would ever let you watch when you were little, first-time author Bob Nick Shields re-creates a long-ago summer and the thrill of innocence in a funny and touching fictional account of what it was like to be a kid before every family had a television.

    Blast from the Past
    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
    Damn good book and well read.
    What did you like best about this story?
    The innocence of the characters and the ability of the narrator to bring the characters to life.
    Which scene was your favorite?
    Roof top "Court Martial"
    If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
    To hell and back before lunch.
    Any additional comments?
    David Winograd many thanks for a job well done and the memories.Nick Shields picked the right man for the job.Great story and perfect voice for the plot. David you are a true story teller.Excellent pacing and great characterization really added life to the story.Loved the "roof top" Court Martial.What a nice way to spend 2 plus hours on a lazy day.
    A charming little story
    If you could sum up The Great Big War in three words, what would they be?
    Relives childhood memories
    What does David Winograd bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?
    David's narration brings a different spin on the "voices" of the characters than one hears inside his/her own mind when just reading the dialog.
    If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
    War, Peace, and Koolaid
    Charming stroll down memory lane
    This is Bobby Booclears story. He remembers the day long war clearly and is finally telling his side. In a time when kids could play outside during daylight and girls werent allowed in war games, Bobby reenacts some of the great big screen death scenes of his time.
    This is a tale of childhood days gone by. Bobby is a kid playing with his buddies from the apartment building. Based on the movie references in this book, perhaps it is the 1960s. Theres a field near the apartment building and the kids organize a war with two sides and objectives. Everyone has some sort of toy weapon. These kids take their play very seriously! That made me smile because it made me recall childhood games and how seriously we all would take them sometimes.
    Theres only 2 women in this book. One is a kid just heading into puberty. A game of spin-the-bottle leaves Bobby feeling left out, poor dude. Then there is Bobbys mom who makes all the kids tasty Kool-Aid ice cubes. While the men far out number the women in this book, they still contributed to the story.
    I was charmed by Bobby because he takes his acting so seriously, especially his death scenes. In fact, there is a point later in the story where the death scenes are critiqued by the other boys. It was quite amusing!
    I think due to my age (Im in my 30s), some of the cultural references went over my head. Also, I have never lived in a big city or an apartment building.

    Publisher's Summary:
    Set in 1981 Guatemala, a lyrical debut novel tells the powerful tale of a boy who must decide what it means to be a man during a time of war.
    Carlos knows that when the soldiers arrive with warnings about the Communist rebels, it is time to be a man and defend the village, keep everyone safe. But Mama tells him not yet - hes still her quiet moonfaced boy. The soldiers laugh at the villagers, and before they move on, a neighbor is found dangling from a tree, a sign on his neck: Communist. Mama tells Carlos to run and hide, then try to find her.... Numb and alone, he must join a band of guerillas as they trek to the top of the mountain where Carloss abuela lives. Will he be in time, and brave enough, to warn them about the soldiers? What will he do then?
    A novel in verse inspired by actual events during Guatemalas civil war, Caminar is the moving story of a boy who loses nearly everything before discovering who he is.

    A stunning journey, told in verse. It's a tough topic that Brown somehow makes completely accessible to young readers (and older ones, too).
    yet easily digestible for middle grade students
    Remarkably well written. The verse is varied, yet easily digestible for middle grade students. Great themes and characters. Touching.
    A touching tale.
    Touching story, written in a unique voice.
    Excellent book
    Beautifully written, with excellent descriptions. Poem format was different and very well done. Felt like I was really there. Loved it!!
    Hidden
    Survivorâs guilt. Not the most common theme in childrenâs books these days. Not unheard of certainly, but it definitely doesnât crop up as often as, say, stories about cupcakes or plucky orphans that have to defeat evil wizards. Serious works of fiction do well when award season comes along, but thatâs only because those few that garner recognition are incredibly difficult to write. Iâll confess to you that when I first encountered âCaminarâ by Skila Brown I heard it was about a kid surviving Guatemalaâs Civil War and I instantly assumed it would be boring. Seems pretty silly to say that I thought a book chock-full oâ genocide would be a snorefest, but Iâve been burned before. True, I knew that âCaminarâ was a verse novel and that gave me hope, but would it be enough? Fortunately, when the time came to pick it up it sucked me in from the very first page. Gripping and good, horrifying and beautifully wrought, if youâre gonna read just one childrenâs book on a real world reign of terror, why not go with this one?
    He isnât big. He isnât tall. He has the round face of an owl and he tends to do whatever it is his mother requires of him with very little objection. Really, is it any wonder that Carlos is entranced by the freedom of the soldiers that enter his small village? The year is 1981 and in Chopan, Guatemala things are tense. One minute you have strange soldiers coming through the village on the hunt for rebels. The next minute the rebels are coming through as well, looking for food and aid. And when Carlosâs mother tells him that in the event of an emergency he is to run away and not wait for her, itâs not what he wants to hear. Needless to say, there comes a day when running is the only option but Carlos finds it difficult to carry on.

    Members Reviews:
    superbly crafted, wonderful characters; brilliant
    The breadth of this book is awesome. The very credible lives of the beautifully observed characters, interweave throughout the book, to remind us how Scotland got from WW2 to a Scottish Parliament, through the lens of history and Angus' camera. utterly brilliant
    Best book I have in my library
    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
    This book is fantastic, it charts Scotlands people from ww2 till the end of mrs thatchers conservatives. And the growing self awareness of the people as to how they differ from the English in there values.
    Who was your favorite character and why?
    Jack is in some way is the voice of Scotland his observations on how scotland and its people slowly are changing in there thinking brings thoughtful insights
    Which character as performed by Jonathan Hackett was your favourite?
    The best thing Jonathan Hackett brings is that you forget he is not part of the story
    Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
    My emotions where all over the place pride would be the overwhelming reaction to this book it made me think
    a brave and passionate book.
    The writing is wonderful. The story is of Scots of Scotland but of everyone
    For anyone interested in how Scotland got to where it is today
    I know I loved this book as I was genuinely sad when it ended. The story telling is superb both moving and laugh out loud funny at times. The characters are all people you care about in time even when you thought you wouldn't, they all have their place. I loved how all the individual stories and lives entwined and crossed paths through life. At times i took a break from listening, it felt like hard work in places, especially in part 3, but I was determined to see it through. I felt I owed it to the characters to hear their stories to the end and I'm so glad I did. I'd be interested to see how this talks to a non scot. I felt I got so much from it, relating to the people and places. I imagined my granny and her friends in post war Glasgow, and my father in law during the miners strike and it really brought it alive to me where my country and her people had come from and how we ended up here today. Loved it!

    Title: Eccentric Neighborhoods
    Author: Rosario Ferré
    Narrator: Blanca Camacho
    Format: Unabridged
    Length: 13 hrs and 37 mins
    Language: English
    Release date: 07-15-14
    Publisher: Audible Studios
    Genres: Fiction, Historical
    Publisher's Summary:
    A tale of two dynasties whose fortunes are linked to the fate of an emerging nation
    Elvira Vernet narratesEccentric Neighborhoods as she attempts to solve the mystery of who her parents truly are. Her mother, the beautiful and aristocratic Clarissa Rivas de Santillana, was born into a rarefied world of privilege, one of five daughters on the familys sugar plantation. Elviras father, Aurelio Vernet, and his three brothers and two sisters were raised by Santiago, a Cuban immigrant who ruled his family with an iron hand. As Puerto Rico struggles for independence - and Aurelio takes his place among the powerful political gentry - a legacy of violence, infidelity, faith, and sacrifice is born.
    Set against the backdrop of a country coming of age, Eccentric Neighborhoods is a lush, transcendent novel, a family saga about mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, parents and children. In this magnificent follow-up toThe House on the Lagoon, Rosario Ferré delivers a work of historical fiction influenced by magical realism and infused with forgiveness and love.
    Members Reviews:
    Terrific family saga!
    This is a multigenerational family saga in Puerto Rico that takes place during most of the 20th century. Ferré portrayed both sets of grandparents and their families in delightful detail. A challenge to keep up with all family members!
    I lived in those neighborhoods
    It's interesting for me to read a translation - I still have the Spanish original but it's in storage so took advantage of the Kindle copy. Rosario's novels take me back home
    A glimpse into a Puero Rican past
    An eccentric but believable Puerto Rican family. The history of Puerto Rico recounted through honest but loving family stories is a very entertaining and compassionate read.
    Love it learn a lot about Puerto Rico in the ...
    Eccentricity it is, base in rich family's. Love it learn a lot about Puerto Rico in the end of 19 century and beging of the 20th.
    You'll disappear for days.
    Those of us who were outraged that Rosario Ferré did not win the National Book Award for House on the Lagoon, will be delighted that she has a new offering. Eccentric Neighborhoods follows the fortunes of two Puerto Rican families from the end of the 19th century to the present, using the women of the family to exemplify the knife's edge where so many Latinas balance-a family that proclaims itself to be modern while limiting their daughters' choices. Ferré wisely steers away from the magic realism that has become a Latin cliche in the hands of anyone but Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and tells a straightforward, compelling tale of plantation society on a collision course with the changing world. Unfortunately, the stunning, un-put-downable House on the Lagoon is a tough act to follow, and while Eccentric Neighborhoods certainly ranks above the rest of this year's Latin-themed fiction, it lacks the depth and complexity of her first novel. Ferré is a beautiful writer, and I'll definitely be thrilled to follow her career. I look forward to what she comes up with next.

    Publisher's Summary:
    Jascha and Lilka separately fled from the Warsaw Ghetto in 1942. Reunited years later, they live in London where Jascha has become a celebrated writer, feted for his dark tales about his war adventures. One day, forty years after the war, Jascha receives a letter inviting him to give a reading in Warsaw. He tells Lilka that nothing remains of the city they knew and that wild horses couldnt drag him back. Nostalgic for the city of her childhood, Lilka prevails; together, traveling by train through a frozen December landscape, they return to the city of their past. When they unwittingly find themselves back in what was once the ghetto, they will discover that they still have secrets between them.
    A riveting story of the nature of desire and the cost of survival, The Train to Warsaw is a haunting and unforgettable portrait of a man and a woman who cannot escape their past.

    Easy to Read; hard to forget
    In Train to Warsaw we eavesdrop on a married couple of Polish Holocaust survivors who return to Warsaw for the first time in 40 years, the husband, Jascha, to give a talk about his recently published memoir of the war years. During their trip from London, where they resettled, Jascha and his wife Lilka reminisce, quarrel, reconcile, quarrel some more, and reveal decades-old secrets. For neither have their war experiences faded or the emotional pull of their native land lessened. The husbandâs memories are bitter and furious and in his talk he excoriates his Polish audience, most of whom walk out on his presentation. The wife sentimentalizes the prewar years, saying it feels like yesterday that she left and as though sheâs lived in London âalmost no time at all.â For refugees, rejected and ejected from their homeland, it isnât so much that they canât go home again, in the words of Thomas Wolfe., but that they have no home. Easily and quickly read, Edelman's novel is hard to forget. My only reservation is that I found little new or surprising in it.
    Beautifully written book about a painful subject
    Book is beautifully written in short but intense paragraphs and manages in a relatively brief book to convey the experiences of Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto and the lasting effects of those experiences as a couple, now Londoners, return to Warsaw for the furst time in 40 years. Captures the mood and the sense that there really was no homegoing possible, not after the Ghetto experience, where they met. Also offers a rich account of the couple's relationship. Well worth reading even if you have already read much about the Holocaust expereince as I have.
    Haunting & elusive
    Train to Warsaw is a stunning & numbing book.
    I marvel at the fact that this short, powerful novel ( or dream? ) made me think of other visual & literary works:
    There is Nabokov's "Speak, Memory"
    The unforgettable 25 live cows smuggled over the walls into the Warsaw ghetto reminded me of Chagall's flying cows.
    The train snaking its way through the Eastern European snow seems strangely familiar from Dr Zhivago or Anna Karenina.
    The monstrous ghetto crimes recall Spielberg's screen.
    Train to Warsaw makes you feel and think.
    It is a literary jewel!
    I love the spare poetic style
    I have read this novella three times, and each time I am mesmerized and enchanted by the story, the style, and the soul of it.

    Genres: Fiction, Historical
    Publisher's Summary:
    Bernard Cornwell's brilliant novel, reissued for fans to find out the story behind the stones. This is the tale of three brothers and of their rivalry that created this great temple.
    One summer's day, a dying stranger carrying great wealth in gold comes to the settlement of Ratharryn. The three sons of Ratharryn's chief each perceive the great gift in a different way. The eldest, Lengar, the warrior, harnesses his murderous ambition to be a ruler and take great power for his tribe.
    Camaban becomes a great visionary and feared wise man, and it is his vision that will force the youngest brother, Saban, to create the great temple on the green hill where the gods will appear on Earth. Saban' s love for Aurenna, the sun bride whose destiny is to die for the gods, finally brings the rivalries of the brothers to a head. But it is also his skills that will build the vast temple, a place for the gods, certainly, but also a place that will confirm for ever the supreme power of the tribe that built it.
    Stonehenge is first and foremost a great historical novel. Bernard Cornwell is well known and admired for the realism and imagination with which he brings earlier worlds to life. And here he uses all these skills to recreate the world of primitive Britain and to solve the mysteries of who built Stonehenge, how, and why.
    "A circle of chalk, a ring of stone, and a house of arches to call the far gods home."
    Critic Reviews:
    "An epic story told with a master's skill. Bernard Cornwell now burrows into prehistory to suggest an answer to the puzzle of why and by whom Stonehenge was built. The result is an epic story told with a master's skill, presenting powerful personalities, high dramas and terrific climaxes with colour and pace." (TLS)
    "A fantastic story of intertribal rivalries, Machiavellian scheming by rival sect leaders and fierce battles over talismans" (New York Times)

    Lost in time
    Cornwell never fails to please he brings every page to life and Audio makes it even better
    its ok
    its flutters between engaging and discombobulated. its a good little story with the interconnection of various characters but I've just finished it and I'm failing to remember the ending. there are some truly addictive moments throughout but the flow is just not like most of his books.
    Interesting
    A good story on how Stonehenge was constructed and their believe in the power of the Gods.
    brilliant story
    fantastic performance as always from Jonathan. loved the story and could put down, full of mystery legend and facts very well written and enjoyable
    My Favourite Bernard Cornwell Novel
    A great imagined history. The characters are well rounded and believable. The narration was spot on.

    The only way to save the future is to decode the past. The only way to decode the past is to save the future.
    Archaeologist Sheppard Smyth has staked his career and the honorable memory of his wife and partner on proving his widely panned theory: Cleopatra VII, the last sovereign pharaoh of Egypt, was not a victim of suicide as history suggests, but of a well-concealed murder. When a statue of the doomed Queen is unearthed in a pre-Columbian excavation site in Mexico, Shep rushes to investigate and, hopefully, find the proof that has evaded him for so long. The statue, however, is only the first clue suggesting a mysterious connection between Mesopotamia and Mesoamerica, and possibly - beyond. Suddenly thrust into the heated rivalry between sexy and enigmatic antiquities thief Victoria Kent and the infamous Russian mafioso Dmitri Kronastia, Shep finds himself a common pawn played by forces working to see out a quest older than the pyramids and cloaked in the Mayan Doomsday prophecy of 12.21.12.
    Members Reviews:
    charming, involving and a fun read
    A solid beginning to a story that will expand over more than one novel.
    Well crafted in its structure, pacing and characters, the story starts with a jolt and keeps moving steadily. occasionally predictable, and more often jarringa nd complex, with staedy reveals and intermixed back story, the characters move the story forward. Where I found her turns of phrase and vocabulary stilted or forced, her writing is good. She likes her characters and has learned how to give them life and veracity in thier separate personalities.
    An enjoyable summer read. Have fun!
    Narrator a little odd but still good
    The narrator kept pronouncing you're as your but otherwise had good, different sounding voices and was very clear and easy to understand. The story overall was well written though didn't captivate me enough to rate 5 stars.
