Learn the inspiring story of the Phoenix Suns' legendary power forward Amar'e Stoudemire!

In Amar'e Stoudemire: The Inspiring Story of One of Basketball's Most Dominant Power Forwards, you will learn the inspirational story of one of basketball's premier power forwards of the 21st century, Amar'e Stoudemire. Amar'e Stoudemire played a huge role during the Suns' early 2000s playoff runs as he ran alongside two-time MVP, Steve Nash, in a fast-paced offense led by Mike D'Antoni. During that time period, few teams in the league could play at an equal pace to the Suns' "7 Seconds or Less" offense.

A high school standout from Florida, Amar'e Stoudemire jumped immediately into the league, but it was not without a good amount of hard work. In this audiobook, we'll learn more about Stoudemire's journey into the NBA, his impact on the game, and his everlasting legacy as one of the greatest power forwards to play in the early 2000s.

Learn the inspiring story of the Boston Celtics' star power forward Al Horford!

In Al Horford: The Inspirational Story of One of Basketball's Most Well-Rounded Power Forwards, you will learn the inspirational story of one of basketball's premier power forwards, Al Horford. When Horford entered the league, he was already a two-time champion as a member of the 2006 and 2007 Florida Gator teams led by Billy Donovan. As the third overall pick in the 2007 NBA draft, Horford entered the league with many setting high expectations for him. He more than delivered in his nine years with the Atlanta Hawks as one of their most consistent players.

More recently in the 2016-2017 offseason, Horford decided to sign with the Boston Celtics as the Celtics have returned as a dominant force in the Eastern Conference. It will be exciting to see what Horford and the Celtics are able to accomplish together as they seek to add another NBA Championship to the franchise, a feat that was last accomplished during the Big Three era of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Ray Allen.

Title: Old School: Life in the Sane Lane | Summary & Analysis

Narrator: Tom Taverna

Format: Unabridged

Length: 28 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-25-17

Publisher: Lord Summarease

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Celebrities

Publisher's Summary:

Note: This is a summary and analysis, not the original book.

Born the son of parents that survived the Great Depression and a father that fought on the Pacific Theater of World War II, Bill O'Reilly was raised in the old school way.

"Old school" refers to the values that are espoused by Americans of yesteryear. As the political machine has given way to snowflakes and those in need of a safe space, the authors feel like America needs to be reminded of the greatness that accompanies the old-school values of life.

While sharing the old-school values, O'Reilly reiterates that the racist parts of America's past should not be brought back, but the values that made America great can bring us back to the forefront of civilization.

Title: Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool

Subtitle: A True Story

Author: Peter Turner

Narrator: Peter Kenny

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 6 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-04-17

Publisher: Audible Studios

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Celebrities

Publisher's Summary:

Now a major motion picture starring Academy Award nominee, Annette Bening, and BAFTA Award winners Jamie Bell and Julie Walters. Coming to cinemas November 16.

On 29 September 1981, Peter Turner received a phone call that would change his life. His former lover, Hollywood actress Gloria Grahame, had collapsed in a Lancaster hotel and was refusing medical attention. He had no choice but to take her into his chaotic and often eccentric family's home in Liverpool.

Liverpool born and bred, Turner had first set eyes on Grahame when he was a young actor living in London. Best known for her portrayal of irresistible femme fatales in films such as The Big Heat, Oklahoma and The Bad and the Beautiful, for which she won an Oscar, Grahame electrified audiences with her steely expressions and heavy-lidded eyes, and the heroines she bought to life were often dark and dangerous. Turner and Grahame became firm friends and remained so even after their love affair had ended. And it was to him she turned in her final hour of need.

Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool is an affectionate, moving and wryly humorous memoir of friendship, love and stardom.

Members Reviews:

Wonderful story.

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

A heartwarming story of how a Liverpool family helped a relative stranger in times of need. Filled with Liverpudlian humour the story has been well written by the author who nursed Gloria Grahame during this difficult time. The perfect book which will make you laugh one minute and cry the next.

Maybe it will be a better film

I really wanted to like this but I'm afraid I found the accents a bit too hammy and jarring (and I am speaking as a Liverpudlian). I'm sure there is a charming story here but it would probably be better conveyed in the forthcoming film.

Feel good, enchanting .....

Fabulous, heartfelt, humanity at its best ..... a fading hollywood film star, a warm and funny liverpool family, a very tender love story, what a fabulous mix xx

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Publisher's Summary:

It may have been because she could run. It may have been because she wanted to swim, or perhaps because she only ever did 10 minutes of breaststroke at a time. But, as she learned one day while flailing around in the sea, she really couldn't.

Believing that a life lived fully isn't one with the most money earned, the most stuff bought or the most races won but one with the most experiences experienced the most fully, she decided to conquer her fear of the water.

From the ignominy of getting into a wetsuit to the triumph of swimming from Kefalonia to Ithaca, in becoming a swimmer Alexandra learns to appreciate her body and still her mind. As it turns out, the water is never as frightening once you're in, and really, everything is better when you remember to exhale.

Members Reviews:

Very entertaining

This is read by the author, who reads it entertainingly and well, I can't imagine it would be half as good read by another narrator.

The story of her adventures into outdoor swimming is as humourously and well told as her book on running, with little forays into her personal life for added interest.

I can wholeheartedly recommend both Alexandra Heminsley's audiobooks. They have also encouraged me to give running and swimming a good try! Alexandra makes them hard to resist.

loved it

A very inspiring heart warming and wrenching book.

Alexandra writes in such a way that make swimming feel so much more accessible and less scary even to a reluctant swimmer like myself.

inspirational

loved every minute of this book. What more can I say! do listen you'll agree

The inspiring story of Alyssa Azar, an ordinary girl from country Queensland who worked to ascend the world's highest peak.

'I believe that nothing is impossible if you dare to dream, plan and take action. I'm an ordinary girl who simply refused to give up on a dream, and that's all it takes to succeed in life.'

Alyssa Azar is unstoppable. When she was just eight years old, she walked the gruelling Kokoda Track, the youngest person in the world to do so. At 12 she climbed the 10 highest peaks in Australia. Two years later she touched the top of Mount Kilimanjaro. Now, at the age of 19, she has reached the roof of the world: the summit of Mount Everest.

She shares the thrills and heartbreaking disappointments on the road to reaching her goal and explains how she finds the courage and motivation to keep going in the face of overwhelming danger and adversity. Above all, Alyssa's story shows us that we can achieve anything if we dare to dream big.

Title: Concussion

Author: Jeanne Marie Laskas

Narrator: Hillary Huber

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 50 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-26-17

Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Celebrities

Publisher's Summary:

Penguin presents the unabridged downloadable audiobook edition of Concussion by Jeanne Marie Laskas, read by Hillary Huber.

This is the story of one man's fight against a multibillion-dollar colossus. A man who stood up for what was right, whatever the cost.

The brilliant young forensic pathologist had no idea that the body on the slab in front of him would change his life - and ultimately change the world. The body belonged to legendary American footballer Mike Webster, whose mental health had rapidly declined after he had stopped playing - he had ended up Tasering himself to relieve his chronic back pain and fixing his rotting teeth with superglue.

Dr Bennet Omalu found that the psychosis suffered by "Iron Mike" was no accident. His autopsy unearthed evidence of a trauma-related disease - the direct result of years of blows to the head in games. He knew it would keep killing scores of other sportsmen unless something was done. He believed that the NFL (National Football League), one of the most powerful corporations in America, would welcome the discovery. But it was the one truth they wanted to ignore.

Omalu himself became a target.

Critic Reviews:

"This is classic David and Goliath stuff, and as exciting as a great courtroom drama. A riveting, powerful human tale...a masterclass on how to tell a story." (Charles Duhigg, New York Times columnist and best-selling author of The Power of Habit)

Title: Captain Cool

Subtitle: The MS Dhoni Story

Author: Gulu Ezekiel

Narrator: Fajer Al-Kaisi

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 28 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-11-17

Publisher: Audible Studios

Genres: Bios & Memoirs, Celebrities

Publisher's Summary:

It took just four years for Mahendra Singh Dhoni to transform from a boy from an obscure small town into an icon of Indian sports. The events that made up that tale turned into one of the greatest feel-good stories of recent times, and I felt it needed to be told.

Dhoni is arguably the most radical and influential Indian cricketer since the emergence of Kapil Dev in the late '70s. The positive impact he has had on Indian cricket - and on aspiring youth - is the modern-day version of a fairy tale come true. Since he received no formal training during his formative years, Dhoni's rough-and-ready ways were never ironed out of his system. There lies his appeal, and that is what pulls in the crowds. Here is a leader - India's captain in one-day internationals (ODIs) and Twenty20 since 2007 and in a Test in 2008 - who makes bold decisions and carries them forward. The fact that the results have in the main turned out to be positive is no mere stroke of luck. Like Kapil Dev a quarter of a century earlier, Dhoni is instinctive, going by his gut feeling. No wonder he was the prize catch when it came to the Indian Premier League (IPL) auction. And leading the Chennai Super Kings to the final of the inaugural event added another arrow to his quiver. Dhoni today is on top of the world. This is his inspiring story.

Boring

Feels like we are reading the news paper analysis of every match.

Worst excuse for a book

It is an expanded Wikipedia article. All it contains is information like, '....Dhoni hit this many boundaries this many sixes scored this many runs against this team, that team......he won the series against team X team Y scored this many runs.....' The author praises Dhoni's leadership skills as a captain but fails to explain why, other than citing "tactical changes at the right moment."

The Bibliography section is THE shortest I've seen in a book. It contains only magazine articles and online cricket websites, not even a single interview with anyone who knows Dhoni personally.

Save your money for another book, Google "MS Dhoni" and you will find more information on Captain Cool than you will find in this book.
