Title: Wanted

Subtitle: The Outlaw Lives of Billy the Kid and Ned Kelly

Author: Robert M. Utley

Narrator: Tom Perkins

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 16 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-17-15

Publisher: Tantor Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 5 votes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals

Publisher's Summary:

The oft-told exploits of Billy the Kid and Ned Kelly survive vividly in the public imaginations of their respective countries, the United States and Australia. But the outlaws' reputations are so weighted with legend and myth that the truth of their lives has become obscure. In this adventure-filled double biography, Robert M. Utley reveals the true stories and parallel courses of the two notorious contemporaries who lived by the gun, were executed while still in their 20s, and remain compelling figures in the folklore of their homelands.

Billy was a fun-loving, expert sharpshooter who excelled at escape and lived on the run after an indictment for his role in the Lincoln Country War. Bush-raised Ned, the son of an Irish convict father and Irish mother, was a man whose outrage against British colonial authority inspired him to steal cattle and sheep, kill three policemen, and rob banks for the benefit of impoverished Irish sympathizers. Utley recounts the exploits of these notorious young men with accuracy and appeal. He discovers their profound differences, despite their shared fates, and illuminates the worlds in which they lived on opposite sides of the globe.

Critic Reviews:

"A classic study for the ages." (Douglas Brinkley, author of The Wilderness Warrior)

Members Reviews:

A nice brief biography of Billy the Kid and Ned Ke

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

This was time well spent. It is a light history of both Billy the Kid and Ned Kelly followed by a comparison of the two.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Tom Perkins?

I think Tom does an alright job. He's not the most captivating performer.

"And to hell with the T-shirt."

"Instead of reacting like an unarmed victim, you become a trained fighter."

An honest, insightful look at one woman's fight against cancer. From discover to victory and how she mentally & physically prepared the battlefield (her body) by applying what she's learned from Martial Arts. "And to hell with the T-shirt." Great book

You are awesome and your book is awe inspiring

I personally have never had to deal with cancer, but members of my family have. You are so inspiring. If I ever have to deal with it, I will definitely re-read until such time that I have the positive attitude that you reflect in this book. You are awesome and your book is awe inspiring.

Title: Mr Smiley

Author: Howard Marks

Narrator: Howard Marks, Larry Love

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 54 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-26-15

Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Criminals

Publisher's Summary:

The last pill and testament from Britain's most famous and well-loved drug smuggler, Howard Marks.

Howard Marks is the most famous drug smuggler of his age and a hero to a generation. On his release from one of America's toughest prisons, Howard made a promise to himself to go straight. No more drugs, no more smuggling, no more fake passports. He would retire to a quiet life with his family in the Balearic Islands of Spain. It didn't quite work out that way.

This was the mid-'90s - the height of the ecstasy and clubbing boom - and Ibiza was at the very centre of the vortex for the "E generation". Pills had taken the place of marijuana, Paul Oakenfold had replaced The Rolling Stones as the music of the masses and every year an army of Brits headed south to lose themselves to the excesses of the island's increasingly wild clubs.

It wasn't long before Howard found himself trying pure ecstasy and rubbing shoulders with some of the kingpins of the pill trade, including some of Britain's most notorious gangsters, who were laundering millions of pounds of gold stolen in the legendary Brink's-Mat bullion raid. As Britons descended on Ibiza ahead of one of the greatest summers of the decade, Howard was preparing for his most outrageous operation yet.

Incredibly funny, moving and scabrous, Mr Smiley follows a journey to the heartland of the clubbing and British crime scene. It is also a fitting last word from one of Britain's best-loved bad boys.

Members Reviews:

Lost the will to live after 8 chapters..

I lasted 8 chapters and couldn't listen to it any more. I can image if you have had little life experience then this may excite you but if you've left the nest of mum and dad then the pathetic self he portrays here will bore the pants off you.

Typical of previous books written by Howard Marks

Would you recommend Mr Smiley to your friends? Why or why not?

Yes if you liked his other works otherwise id say it was not as good as previous titles like Mr Nice

What three words best describe Howard Marks and Larry Love s performance?

Welsh, rough and authentic.

Did Mr Smiley inspire you to do anything?

Look after myself more.

Local hero?

A fellow Welshman, I enjoyed Mr Nice, and liked that Mr Marks stayed away from dealing hard drugs. This story though just shows that no matter your good intentions, the lust for easy money can alter someone's morals.

Started good but dragged on too long

Would you try another book written by Howard Marks or narrated by Howard Marks and Larry Love ?

Yes I would but with some intrepidation

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

Bored. Goes on for too long and draws it out.

Did Howard Marks and Larry Love do a good job differentiating each of the characters? How?

Not really - all rolled into one. at times.

Do you think Mr Smiley needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

No. Not really.

Any additional comments?

Boring in the end but the tone of voice gives it extra chracter which it needs.

Title: Losing Alex: The Night I Held an Angel

Author: Silvia Corradin

Narrator: Marsha Waterbury

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 37 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-25-15

Publisher: Yes

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Personal Memoirs

Publisher's Summary:

Despite the fact that 100 babies are stillborn every day in the United States, losing a baby is still considered an invisible loss. Parents struggle with anger, guilt, and despair, often alone. I wrote Alex's story (quite lengthy in its own right) as the beginning of the book I am writing about the life of my son, Nicholas, who was born 21 months after Alex was stillborn.

Alex was also diagnosed at birth with an incurable and possibly lethal skin disorder called Epidermolysis Bullosa. Grieving parents will find in these words the solace of knowing they're not alone on this agonizing path, validation of their babies' lives, and perhaps my way of coping and finding meaning in this seemingly meaningless loss will help, too.

Members Reviews:

Heartrendingly Sad Story

This book was very difficult to read without crying and feeling as if this could have happened to me if I were able to have children. The statistics alone were just shocking and the sorrow, heartache, and support for this family was just amazing. I was glad to have the opportunity to read this remarkable true story that this amazing person was able to write and share her experience and story of losing her child. This is a RECOMMENDED MUST READ story that will help any parent who has lost a child and hopefully make it somewhat comforting that you are not alone.

A moving account

A very moving account that helped me to realize the effect of giving birth to stillborn child to a mother. I am glad I read this book, and wish Ms. Corradin and her son Nicky the best- they are an inspiration to those whose lives they have touched.

I would like to thank the author for sharing her heartbreaking story

A touching tribute to Alexander. I would like to thank the author for sharing her heartbreaking story.

Angel

I gave this book a five star rating. Having lost a daughter in her early years I can understand her feelings. This a very interesting and informative book. Helped me feel I was with her during her grieving. Highly recommend this book.

Eye opening and insightful!

Thank you for writing this book. I lost my son at the age of 20 to a car accident. His oldest sister is still grieving his death after two years and you have shown me that we all grieve in different ways. I found a purpose to carry on and truly hope that my daughter will also. I really like the way you tell people how many children you have. I have one in heaven and three on earth.
