Title: Section 8

Author: Johnnie M. Clark

Narrator: John H Fehskens

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 54 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-18-17

Publisher: Johnnie M. Clark

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Fiction, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

This could only be written by a Marine with combat fatigue who knows Marines and history. It will be loved by those who loved Catch 22, MASH, and One Flew over the Coo Coo's Nest. These Marines and this story is insanely original because it is based in more truth than you will ever believe.

It is 1946 and President Truman is trying to get re-elected with the help of Standard Oil but Standard Oil is demanding that a mysterious deal be struck with Chiang Kai Shek. Truman hates the Marine Corps and is working hard to disband Uncle Sam's Misguided Children. He almost has congress convinced that the Corps is obsolete now that we have the A-bomb. He has sent what is left of the Corps to China to aid Shek in fighting the Communists.

Poor Welcome George Many Numbers is an oval shaped Navajo Tribal Accountant in Window Rock, Arizona who speaks with questionable monotone wisdom in two languages. He is a former Marine Corporal and decorated hero whose services were no longer required when it was decided that he was partially crazy due to combat fatigue and given a Section Eight discharge as unfit for duty. But when Welcome awakens from a frying pan-induced coma in a Naval hospital in China and discovers that he was delivered there by Sidney Mosedale the Press Secretary to President Truman, he seeks escape.

The Navajo soon discovers that he is on a mission to save the Marine Corps. Welcome loves the Corps and he is not bitter about being a Section Eight because he understands, after therapy, that Section Eight is a temporary state unlike Canada or Kentucky.

RMD Section 8

This is one of the few books I've read that I laughed out loud many times. Several states time with tears running down my cheeks. You add that the book is based on actual events, will it just plain ridiculously funny and fun too read. OMGLOL!!!

Get Ready to Laugh Out Loud

Section 8 is a treasure that doesn't come along every day. I found myself laughing out loud as Johnnie Clark's humor shows up from every angle. Dry wit, sarcasm, slapstick, you name it. I've loved all of Johnnie's books, but this, his first shot at straight humor with some real life mixed in, might be his best ever. I never realized there really was a true consideration to shut down the Marine Corps at one point in our history. Johnnie takes this real life section of history and turns it into a hilarious saga with some serious notes mixed in as well. Really got me thinking. If they ever turn this thing into a movie, it would be awesome!

Crying Again!!

I take my reading seriously. Due to the fact that I spend my life reading professional journals and research, reading for "fun" is not at the top of my list of leisure activities. In fact, it's not on my list at all! However, being well acquainted with J. Clark's previous works, I did not hesitate to stay with him as he ventured into the genre of humor; I was not disappointed. What I have come to realize is this author is going to have me crying one way or the other. J.

Título: El gran solitario de Palacio [The Great Solitary Man in the Palace]

Autor: René Avilés Fabila

Narrador: Raul Gutierrez

Formato: Unabridged

Duración: 6 hrs and 39 mins

Idioma: Español

Fecha de publicación: 09-25-17

Editor: Audible Studios

Categorías: Fiction, Historical

Resumen del editor:

El humor se convierte en el arma que se defiende de la opresión, la injusticia, y la violencia.

El gran solitario de Palacio es una obra sobre México, y sin embargo tiene algo del efecto globalizador que caracterizó al Boom latinoamericano: escrita en México, París, y Madrid, se publicó por primera vez en 1971 en Argentina; y de alguna manera representa una realidad que se ha repetido una y otra vez en la historia de Latinoamérica. La novela es una sátira del solitario de Palacio: el dictador longevo, el caudillo ridículo; una aguda burla a la democracia invisible. Es también un vivo testimonio del movimiento estudiantil del 68 y la inolvidable matanza del 2 de octubre. En una fantástica dualidad, la novela es una crítica irónica, una especie de tragicomedia.

La risa es la venganza perfecta, precisamente porque el humor es un idioma cómplice que se le niega al gran solitario de Palacio. La novela permanece vigente, ese México es actual todavía y hoy más que nunca se necesitan obras que despierten la conciencia colectiva. El gran solitario de Palacio ha resistido al paso del tiempo y va camino a convertirse en un clásico de la literatura hispanoamericana.

Die Umstände sind dabei höchst merkwürdig: Madlen soll sich die Augen verbinden, damit sie nicht weiß, in welchem Haus die Geburt stattfindet, und wird außerdem dazu verpflichtet, absolutes Stillschweigen zu bewahren.

Ihr gelingt es, das Kind unversehrt auf die Welt zu bringen, doch nach dem ersten Schrei des kleinen Mädchens stürzen ohne Vorwarnung Wachmänner herein und entreißen Madlen das Neugeborene. Hat wirklich der Erzbischof den Auftrag hierzu gegeben? Madlen bleibt keine Zeit zum Nachdenken. Die Männer kommen zurück und sie realisiert, dass nicht nur das Leben des Säuglings, sondern auch das der Mutter und ihr eigenes ernsthaft in Gefahr sind.

Hauntingly Evocative Historical Fiction

In 'The Pacifist,' Mehreen Ahmed has crafted a complex and beautifully nuanced tale of love, deception, institutional abuse, and familial woe. The story follows the lives of three generations of an Australian family during the late 1800s, all of whom were in some way touched by the corrupt and abusive Badgerys Creek orphanage. The tale also touches on the societal effects of sudden wealth, and the cruel history of Britains Australian colonies. Written in a style reminiscent of literary great Joyce Carol Oates, 'The Pacifist' is a must-read for lovers of historical fiction and Australian history.

Revealing

If you could sum up The Pacifist in three words, what would they be?

revealing, dramatic, confusing

What did you like best about this story?

That the reason for Marcus' attitude is revealed and it makes you go back and listen to the first few chapters again.

Which scene was your favorite?

When Marcus went down to the beach and took a nightly swim.

If you could take any character from The Pacifist out to dinner, who would it be and why?

Mr. Brown, so I could get more details on him and Rose.

Any additional comments?

I got this book via audiobook boom and this is my voluntary review. The narrator was perfect for this story. He evoked the emotions required for each scene and he spoke with the right tone that carried the story along.

She is befriended by a couple who run an inn and recently lost their only son in a battle with the Dublin Norse and treat her as they would their own daughter.

He plays and fights with an energy that draws the attention of Cennetig, the son of the tribal chieftain, Lorcain mac Lachtnai. His friendship with Cennetig results in his introduction to warrior training, usually reserved for nobles and the sons of proven warriors. Scolai finds his true calling in battle and earns the respect of his leaders and fellow warriors.

Pleasant story

Any additional comments?

One of my favorite genres is historical fiction. I enjoy them for the little tidbits of insight into a time I am often unfamiliar with. Unfortunately, this book had very few tidbits. The story was enjoyable and I was interested until the end, but, I would have preferred more detail added to the story to immerse me a little more into the time period. The book is the life story of one man who wishes to and does become a warrior, but, does not delve too deeply into relationships or the society of the time. I found the ending to be abrupt and despite enjoying the story, I never felt a strong connection to the characters. I would be willing to read another book by this author to see what he is capable of.

The narrator did a good job bringing life to the characters and I would enjoy listening to a book by this narrator again.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and voluntarily left this unbiased review

Irish Adventure

Amazon Prime has a lot of perks- I thought I'd try this one...it's hard to find time to read and great to have a good story while I drive or fold laundry!

This one seemed interesting since I'm Irish...and it was! The story pulled me along and I enjoyed the historical side of the long-ago adventures.

The narrator has a deep, smooth voice but manages to sound like a women when he needs to- you don't always find that in audible books. I loved the bit 'o Irish accents too- not overdone!

This is a good "read"!!

Great historical fiction

This is a very interesting read/listen. I was hooked from the very beginning and finished in one sitting. I am anxious to listen to the next book! The narration is very well done. Overall, it is an excellent book. I received this audiobook via audiobook boom and voluntarily left this review.

Not what I expected.

What did you like best about an Trodai: Scolai? What did you like least?

From the synopsis, I was expecting something like a norse mythology story. But the book actually doesn't have much of that kind, other than the "real father" being a norse pirate. As the story progressed, it didn't quite interest me.
