Title: Something I'm Not

Author: Lucy Beresford

Narrator: Rawlins Penelope

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 5 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-10-17

Publisher: Audible Studios

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

To her friends, Amber leads the perfect life with her successful marriage, her powerful job in London and her immaculate style. But as more of her friends fall pregnant, and her best friend, Dylan, announces his decision to adopt a baby with his gay lover, Amber's carefully structured world begins to fall apart.

Intricately crafted and sensually evocative, Something I'm Not is a sharp, contemporary novel that discusses the way the psychological scars of the past pass through the generations of a family. With a charming and complex heroine, a group of friends heading towards midlife - some of who are only just finding out who they really are - Something I'm Not is a subtle novel that poses the questions most women are too afraid to ask.

Critic Reviews:

"A complex odyssey that is ambitious in scope, carefully structured and highly accessible. It trumpets the courage needed to make - and stand by - difficult, life-defining decisions, as well as the hereditary effects of unresolved trauma and the importance of friends to our mental well-being...negotiate[s] all this without resorting to psychobabble or sentimentality, and still boast[s] authenticity and poignancy." (The Sunday Telegraph)

"Sparkling...Amber is a strong and sympathetic heroine and her friends are well-rounded individuals and recognisable contemporary types...Beresford's deft plotting and warm and witty writing makes this an assured debut." (The Daily Mail)

Members Reviews:

Good underlying story if a bit disjointed at times. Easy read.

I wasn't sure what to expect with this book, I think I definitely expected more though. It looked quite a 'deep' book compared to the usual chick lit, and I guess that's what drew me to it initially. Amber has suffered a nonexistent relationship with her mother, which has led to her issues as an adult. We don't learn too much of her relationship with her father except it seems a good one, however, when he dies, she is upset but the story still dwells on the failed mother/daughter relationship. I thought that it would develop into more of a story along the lines of why their relationship is so strained, but it only led to what the mother had suffered in the end, but I didn't feel a great deal of empathy for her. I struggled to relate to any of the characters, Dylan seemed the funniest, but none of them really grabbed you and left you wanting to find out more. The story kept going from one thing to another and on quite a few occasions I was left wondering what was going on and having to go back a few pages to figure it out. I liked the concept; a loving young couple who don't want kids and see their friends as family, but it was just too disjointed for me. I found the incident on the plane weird and unnecessary (kind of out of the blue then not mentioned again) and likewise with why she did what she did in the church, I was totally confused by that. All in all, it was a nice idea for a book, some of the characters were relatable and I liked what Amber did in the end a lot. As I say, I had higher hopes for it, but it is an easy read.

Could have been better

A very different book with many characters and a zany plot.

Title: Pan - God of the Woods

Author: Lawrence R. Spencer

Narrator: Alicia Rose

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 27 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-02-17

Publisher: Lawrence R. Spencer

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

Pan, the Greek god of forests, shepherds and fertility, has long represented the pagan gods in general. With the advent of the Christian church communication with the pagan gods was very heavily suppressed by priests who have a vested interest in eliminating religious competition, by any means required, including, but not limited to lying, stealing, cheating, murder, mayhem, extortion, torture and blackmail. As a result, general public attention to the pagan gods disappeared about 2,000 years ago. This book assumes that the pagan gods may still be active, living beings. If any of the ancient gods are still around in the 21st century, what are they doing now? If they are here now - still watching, still powerful, still immortal - where or how might we contact them? If Pan is still around which of us mortals could not use the helping hand of a friendly god once in awhile?

Members Reviews:

Creative and Fun!

This book was one of the most original and creative books I have ever read! I absolutely loved it and would recommend it to any one who is up for a good read.

Loved it.

I loved this book. As a formally spiritually deficient soul, turned eclectic pagan whom refrains from "worship", I enjoy the new perspective on the word "god".

Where's my divine intervention?

A very entertaining read about a guy who, hovering between life and death, meets the Great God Pan who intercepts his soul and helps him with the process of regaining he Godly status (which we're told we all possess.)

Though the story is very engaging, its shortcoming is the fact that everything resembling spiritual guidance in this book relies on divine intervention, with the noteworthy exception of the message that priests are never to be trusted. It seems to me that most of us are not destined to have this type of interaction with God(s.) As someone quoted above, "you don't need to pee!" well, maybe if you're Pan but i'm pretty sure those of us with bodies still do.

At one point in the book grand schemes are put into place to save the earth environmentally. There are huge obstacles that are overcome, of course, primarily by the gods who happen to be assissting. Again, without the divine intervention these grand schemes seem unable to overcome human nature.

This is what it's like to be a God

I would never have imagined that anyone would be brave enough (or perhaps stupid enough) to write a book about being a God. Yet, this book pulls it off -- with uncanny understanding, humility and humor. This is truly one of the most unique, exhilerating, provacative and spiritually uplifting books I have every read! The author's descriptions make the "out-of-body experience" seem normal and commonplace. After reading this book, I feel like I can actually do it myself! I am very grateful to the author for this book. It has changed my whole view of life...and life after death.

Please loan the editorial dept a dictionary

Chapter one ends on page 17 with "A subtle scent of pine lingered, though there were no pine trees. And through the" I'm serious! That's how the whole first chapter ends. The proof reader doesn't know milkweed from milk week (see page 18). Sheesh! I spend hard earned money and precious time on books on which the editor spent no time at all. I am insulted.

Durée: 10 hrs and 32 mins

Langue: Français

Date de publication: 09-28-17

Éditeur: Audible Studios

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Résumé de l'éditeur:

Les souvenirs peuvent parfois être aussi irréels que l'imagination.

Été 1981. Alors qu'il attend à la terrasse d'un café, David Umber est témoin d'un fait divers qui va bouleverser son existence. Trois jeunes enfants qui se promenaient avec leur baby-sitter sont victimes d'une terrible agression. Un homme kidnappe Tamsin, deux ans, et s'enfuit à bord de son van. Alors qu'elle essaye de s'interposer, la petite Miranda, sept ans, est percutée par le véhicule. Tout se passe en quelques secondes. David, comme les deux autres témoins de la scène, n'a pas le temps de réagir. À peine peuvent-ils donner une vague description de l'agresseur.

Printemps 2004. Prague. Après une histoire d'amour avortée avec la baby-sitter des enfants, David a tout quitté pour refaire sa vie. Il est contacté par l'inspecteur-chef Sharp, chargé à l'époque de l'enquête. Sharp lui demande de l'accompagner en Angleterre pour essayer de faire enfin toute la lumière sur la disparition de Tamsin. Littéralement hantés par cette affaire, les deux hommes reprennent un à un tous les faits. Bientôt de nouvelles questions se posent sur la configuration des lieux, sur la présence des témoins, sur la personnalité des victimes. Le drame cache en réalité encore bien des secrets.

Ne voit-on jamais que ce que l'on a envie de voir ? Dans les histoires d'amour comme de meurtre, la réalité est souvent bien différente de ce que l'on aimerait qu'elle soit. Le maître du thriller britannique tisse ici une intrigue passionnante où les rebondissements se succèdent sans répit jusqu'à la résolution finale.

Riepilogo Editore:

In uno zoo, un ragazzo si sofferma affascinato davanti alla gabbia di un lupo e, siccome l'animale ha soltanto un occhio, anche il ragazzo, con estrema sensibilità, tiene chiuso uno dei suoi. Questo colpisce il lupo che, per la prima volta, supera l'atavica diffidenza nei confronti degli esseri umani e decide di raccontare al ragazzo la sua storia, tutta vissuta sullo sfondo di paesaggi nevosi e cacce solitarie.

Anche il ragazzo si confida col lupo e gli parla delle tre Afriche per cui è passato, quella Gialla, quella Grigia e quella Verde: l'Africa dei deserti, L'Africa delle savane e l'Africa equatoriale delle foreste. Il paesaggio, con i suoi colori e le sue atmosfere, ha molta importanza sia nella storia del lupo che in quella del ragazzo africano.
