Members Reviews:

Okay, but not for seasoned researchers.

If you have done any serious research into this case, skip this book. It's a very cursory introduction to Bob Evans and the murders he likely committed. Some of the information is inaccurate, but most is okay. If you are a very beginner on this cae, Thai would be a good book to start off with.

Two Stars

Very short. Most of the information can be found by just doing a Google search. Sorry.

Great mini book about the Evans case

Great mini book about Bob Evans aka The Killer Drifter. This particular serial killer is still very much a mystery and more investigating should be done. But it's a fascinating case that I would love to learn more about, hopefully someone will write a full length book about Bob Evans

Don't buy it.

Please don't waste your time on this book. There are still answers that need to be found. Don't let anyone profit from a story where people don't have names yet.

Title: Who's Got the Dog

Author: Judith Kampfner

Narrator: Lisa Simeone, Judith Kampfner

Format: Original Recording

Length: 24 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-03-17

Publisher: Soundprint

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

Divorce has an immediate impact on family and friends beyond the couple and their children. It is not the quick paper solution of a society which discards and moves on all to easily. Producer Judith Kampfner looks at the ripple effects of divorce how it has an impact far beyond the immediate family. We hear from women who have managed their experiences with humor and insights. In part, though, Whos Got the Dog? is a personal reflection about the producer's own divorce. In fact, she soon discovered that there were people who were shocked, in pain and grieving about her family break-up and that she felt obligated to console and reassure them. It both made her feel guilty and fortunate to know that we are more closely bound to a wide orbit of friends and relatives than we realize. She finds that we often think we live only in nuclear families, but we are really tied to a community and it often takes a crisis to realize this.

Title: The Year It All Made Sense

Narrator: David Alfred George

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 25 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-08-17

Publisher: Incredible Publishing

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

David George was an established lumberjack, cage-fighting promoter, and mixed martial arts matchmaker thriving on what life had to offer. In 2011, the reality hit TV show Survivor called and presented him with a personal invite to California. The invitation, however, was put on hold after he received an unexpected phone call 48 hours later.

David decided to flip the script as he took the idea of Survivor into his own hands while spinning out of control physically and emotionally. Strapped with a GoPro Hero and Nikon camera, he began documenting his life, which resulted in 258 days of filming and over 6500 photographs. The plan was to tell and show a true story about staying positive in the face of uncertainty. The goal was to make an art project out of real-life experiences and expose to the world why 2012 was The Year It All Made Sense.

Title: The Impossibility of Loneliness

Subtitle: The Search for Home

Author: Chinle Miller

Narrator: Richard Henzel

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 30 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-27-17

Publisher: Yellow Cat Publishing

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

Is it impossible to be lonely, or is loneliness an impossibly difficult thing?

In the first part of this book, Chinle Miller wanders the desert and mountains with her dogs, exploring nature and an inner life of solitude, until an event happens that shakes her life to its core - her best friend and cousin Janie is killed by a grizzly in Alaska.

Grieving and becoming more and more fearful and obsessed with bears, Chinle heads north, stopping in the Yukon, then finally making her way to Alaska's Chugach Range, where her cousin was killed.

There, after learning more about Janie's death, she begins a new journey, one that takes her to British Columbia's Great Bear Rainforest for a life-saving encounter with a Kermode, or spirit bear, as well as meeting a First Nations native who reveals what she must know to find her true home.

Half-journal and half story, this unique book will take you to the deserts of Utah, the high peaks of Colorado, the wilderness of the Yukon and Alaska, and into the depths of the Coastal Mountain rainforests of British Columbia.

You'll find that, in a way, it's impossible to be alone, as we're always surrounded by life - and yet, as humans, we do get lonely, and it's an impossibly difficult thing, but a condition with a cure, for, as Chinle writes, "When you stand in the immensity of the natural world and realize how utterly insignificant you are, only then are you truly free."

Very good read. I was hoping the author would come to a good conclusion. This book did not disappoint.

An adventure of discovery

I had read all of the Bud Sumway mysteries up to this point and looked forward to Chinle's newest book about lonliness and home. The book is actually about many things. It's about understanding what home is and where you find it. It's also about loss and fear. The loss of a close friend named Janie and a beloved dog named Moki and how Chinle struggles to cope with both. But it's also about fear of the unknown and mortality itself.

I've spent several decades hiking and backpacking, mostly by myself. Not having kids has given me the freedom to work less and spend more time in nature. That's why I could relate to her fears about bears and whatever else resides in the woods. I overcame most of my fears long ago through a better understanding of those animals that I feared most. I've encountered bears a dozen times, cougars on three occasions and quite a few rattlesnakes and none have resulted in a terrible event but rather left me mostly awed by nature. I have retained some fear which is necessary inorder survive when out in nature but the key is not letting it become an irrational fear. Following Chinle on her voyage to Alaska reminded me of the power fear can have, especially when you're alone.

Her fascinating journey will keep you riveted as she encounters adventures along the way and discoveries within.

Beautiful

This book is beautifully written. The author has a way of painting a picture with her words that draws you in and allows effortless visualization. The locals vary - Southwest Colorado, Eastern Utah, Northwestern Canada, and Alaska - each painted in words.

Even better than the physical descriptions, however, are the emotional pictures that Chinle paints.

Title: Six Lenses

Subtitle: Vignettes of Success, Career and Relationships

Author: R. Gopalakrishnan

Narrator: Manisha Sethi

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 3 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-24-17

Publisher: Audible Studios

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

Almost with a touch of philosophy, yet firmly grounded in the reality of business and national affairs, the author argues that 'there is no reality, only perceptions of reality.' Perceptions influence our thoughts and actions and these, in turn, are influenced by the 'lenses' through which we see the world. There are six such lenses: purpose, authenticity, courage, trust, luck and fulfilment.

R. Gopalakrishnan uses, as examples, the lives of 'ordinary people' to illustrate his view. By rotating the lenses, Gopal attempts to understand what success in career and life really means. While biographies of celebrities are inspiring to read or listen to, they often seem like dramatic fairy tales - out of the scope of an average person. But in Six Lenses, Gopalakrishnan narrates the stories of PLUs (people like us) - as he likes to call them - from business and society, whom he has known during his illustrious career. He elucidates the extraordinary lessons that can be learnt from everyday experiences and shows how, by altering our perceptions, we can better overcome the challenges we face at work and in family matters.

Thought-provoking, profound and questioning, Six Lenses will make you look at your life and career in a different light.

Members Reviews:

lot of hype in the Indian press. This is ...

lot of hype in the Indian press. This is one of the many'feel good' books; did not appeal to me.

An apt analogy

In his new book, Author, R Gopalakrishnan, uses an apt analogy for these times. According some estimates, about a trillion photos would have been taken in 2015.

In his book, Mr Gopalakrishnan uses âsix lensesâ to tell stories about âpeople like usâ and any doubts the reader may have about how chairmen and managing directors can be ordinary people will disappear within the first few pages of the book.

Like an ace photographer, Mr Gopalakrishnan uses the right subjects and lens to capture authenticity, purpose, trust, luck, fulfilment and courage- topics that can be deceptively simple and require skilled handling. The subjects are drawn from contemporary business and society, the authorâs personal and professional life, and history. The references to historical figures can pique the readerâs interest with facets not widely known or discussed.

These are times of the Selfie and so it can be assumed people are comfortable turning the lens on oneself. Mr Gopalakrishnan offers six lenses for a better view of success, career, and relationship. Of particular interest will be the âLuckâ lens and here author offers two types â earned and unearned luck.

The author also shows that he is a passionate storyteller by opening up his âIdeas Bankâ to the readers.Links to TED Talks and other literature is a bonus for the readers.

Herausgeber: Arcturus Digital Limited

Kategorien: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals

Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Die Mafia - was im 19. Jahrhundert als Geheimbund auf Sizilien begann, ist zum Inbegriff des weltweit organisierten Verbrechens geworden. Der Einfluss der Mafia reicht schon lange in alle Bereiche der westlichen Gesellschaft hinein - bis in die höchsten Ränge der Politik. Weil es fast unmöglich scheint, die Mauer des Schweigens um die ehrenwerte Gesellschaft" zu durchbrechen, konnten Bosse wie Al Capone, Lucky Luciano, Bugsy Siegel, John Gotti und der unvergessliche Don Calò zu Legenden werden. Was ein Pate" ist, glauben wir durch Hollywood zu wissen. Wissen wir es wirklich?

In diesem Buch geht der investigative Journalist Jo Durden Smith den Schattengestalten hinter dem Mafia-Mythos nach. Er verfolgt die Geschichte dieser Verbrecherorganisation bis in ihre Anfänge zurück und zeigt, wie sie - mit Glücksspiel, Prostitution und Drogenhandel - vor allem in Amerika zur Macht wurde, die Recht und Gesetz nicht fürchtet. Von Sizilien nach New York, von Montreal nach Buenos Aires durchleuchtet er die Ereignisse und die Personen, die das mörderische Gangstermilieu der letzten hundert Jahre bestimmt haben.

Publisher's Summary:

This inspiring true story of a single dad's long journey home pokes gentle (and not so gentle) fun at our frail human efforts to gain from our losses, and begin again. A returning son makes three promises to his ailing mother to be a good man after his wife attempts to replace him over Christmas. When the divorce - and a legal maneuver to separate him from his children - is filed on the day his mother dies, he is unprepared to defend himself against the male stereotypes he must fight to remain an equal parent. Too late to save his marriage, he confronts a different kind of divorce from something he has held onto much longer than his wife; his own father's expectations. Only his three small children can teach him again what he has ceased believing about himself, about keeping his promises, and about being their only dad. This revealing and emotion-packed story is about every flawed parent's daily quest for imperfect redemption told from inside one man's skin as he attempts the impossible - to become a good enough dad by going home.

Title: The Diary of Samuel Pepys: Pepys - After the Fire

Subtitle: BBC Radio 4 Full-Cast Dramatisation

Author: Samuel Pepys

Narrator: Katherine Jakeways, Kris Marshall

Format: Original Recording

Length: 1 hr and 7 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-01-16

Publisher: BBC Worldwide Ltd.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

Kris Marshall (My Family) stars in this BBC Radio 4 dramatisation of the famous diarist's account of the aftermath of the Great Fire of London.

Following on from the acclaimed radio dramatisation of Pepys' complete diaries, this further instalment of his chronicles focuses on events following the cataclysmic inferno that destroyed much of the capital 400 years ago.

When the Great Fire of 1666 was finally extinguished, little remained of London but smouldering rubble. Samuel Pepys witnessed first-hand the impact it had on the city and its people, and would be haunted by what he had seen for the rest of his life. Thousands of homes and many key buildings had been destroyed or damaged, including St Paul's Cathedral.

Now aged 70, in poor health, and living with his servant Will in Clapham, Pepys remembers the devastation. He recalls burying his prize Parmesan to keep it safe, standing in Moorfield among the homeless as London burned, going out in his carriage to look at the ruins, and viewing the plans for the new city that would rise from the ashes - its centrepiece a magnificent cathedral that would be hailed as a masterpiece.

Starring Kris Marshall as Samuel Pepys, this entertaining and enlightening adaptation by Hattie Naylor vividly conjures up the sights and sounds of Pepys' world. Duration: 1 hour 15 mins approx.

Members Reviews:

Nice Conclusion

great bookend to the original dramatization done a few years back. much shorter but also less fragmented. great voice acting and audio effects

Easy to dip in/out as 15 minutes episodes

For maximum enjoyment definitely listen to the first instalment of Samuel Pepys diary (12 hrs 17 minutes + also starring Kris Marshall) as this is more of a continuation from that release.

Was initially worried that it might be a dry boring historic rendition of Samuel Pepys life, but instead it is full of humour and warmth. A pleasure to listen too.

BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYE'S AS PEPYS DIED

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This is an excellent sequal to the first series which I re listen to throughout the year.One needs to look at this production as a 'scene' from the past like a memoire of Pepysremembering the horrific time he his wife and his devoted servants, feared for their lives their loved ones, their homes and their livelihoods as well as the loss of the London they knew and loved. Unlike the first wonderful series which as well as being informative is full of great funny scenes and dialogue, this production is rightly more subdued due to the frightening subject of the Great Fire. There are still laughs but this is more in line of a 'Tribute to both the strength of the City of London and the genius of Pepys .

What did you like best about this story?

We are drawn into the horrific time of the Great Fire of London almost feeling the heat and smells of smouldering wood and feeling the tensions and fears of the Citizens as they struggle to save their world from going up in flames. Each of the actors brings to life the characters of this absorbing tale which I thought they did with tenderness and respect for their subject.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

Pepys burying his rare and very expensive Parmesan Cheeses like gold in that era, a valuable comodity which could be exchanged for coins.
