Raymond Jaffe feels like he doesn’t belong. Not with his mother’s new family. Not as a weekend guest with his father and his father’s wife. Not at school, where he’s an outcast. After his best friend moves away, Raymond has only two real connections: to the feral cat he’s tamed and to a blind ninety-two-year-old woman in his building who’s introduced herself with a curious question: Have you seen Luis Velez?

There’s more to the swamplands than meets the teeth. In this supernatural tale of magic and mysticism, Henry Lemarchand grew up in Philadelphia knowing very little of his family—his father disappeared when he was young, leaving behind only a strange pouch of animal teeth. When he is sent to the Louisiana bayou to spend the summer with his eccentric uncle and cousin in their decaying ancestral mansion, Henry learns about his family’s supernatural legacy.

A tale well told with a great cast and many twists and turns, something the family could enjoy on a road trip.

We are accustomed to think of sociopaths as violent criminals, but in The Sociopath Next Door, Harvard psychologist Martha Stout reveals that a shocking 4 percent of ordinary people, one in 25, has an often undetected mental disorder, the chief symptom of which is that that person possesses no conscience. He or she has no ability whatsoever to feel shame, guilt, or remorse. One in 25 everyday Americans, therefore, is secretly a sociopath.

Lillian Linden is a liar. On the surface, she looks like a brave survivor of a plane crash. But she's been lying to her family, her friends, and the whole world since rescue helicopters scooped her and her fellow survivor, Dave Hall, off a deserted island in the South Pacific. Missing for almost two years, the castaways are thrust into the spotlight after their rescue, becoming media darlings overnight. But they can't tell the real story--so they lie.

The novel started out as kinda cute. I enjoyed the lightness of it. About 2/3rds through. it fell apart, the author kept trying to line up the loose ends, but it couldn't be salvaged. I would my recommend Wreckage.

An historic literary event: the publication of a newly discovered novel, the earliest known work from Harper Lee, the beloved, best-selling author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning classic To Kill a Mockingbird. Originally written in the mid-1950s, Go Set a Watchman was the novel Harper Lee first submitted to her publishers before To Kill a Mockingbird. Assumed to have been lost, the manuscript was discovered in late 2014.

Wonderful surprise !!
Revisado: 08-25-15
I didn't want to read it. I didn't want to spoil one of my all time favorite books; To Kill a Mockingbird.
I refused, refused. But my girlfriend told me I really need to give it a whirl. I did. I loved it. I have asked my hubby for the hardcover duo for Christmas.
Beautifully written, Ms. Witherspoon was fabulous, I am so glad I didn't let my stubborn streak win this one. Don't hesitate, if you loved Mockingbird, I believe you will love this!

Animal Farm - the history of a revolution that went wrong - is George Orwell's brilliant satire on the corrupting influence of power. Mr Jones of Manor Farm is so lazy and drunken that one day he forgets to feed his livestock. The ensuing rebellion under the leadership of the pigs Napoleon and Snowball leads to the animals taking over the farm. Vowing to eliminate the terrible inequities of the farmyard, the renamed Animal Farm is organised to benefit all who walk on four legs. But as time passes, the ideals of the rebellion are corrupted, then forgotten. And something new and unexpected emerges....

Back before schools were privatized this was required if all students. It is an important work.
This audio dramatization is excellent! Well done and enjoyable, please take the time to appreciate what this story means to us all.

Academy Award winner Dustin Hoffman gives an understated and exemplary performance of this satiric look at the unreality of American media culture. Chance, the enigmatic gardener, becomes Chauncey Gardiner after getting hit by a limo belonging to a Wall Street tycoon. The whirlwind that follows brings Chance to his new status of political policy advisor and possible vice presidential candidate. His garden-variety political responses, inspired by television, become heralded as visionary, and he is soon a media icon.

Disappointed
Revisado: 02-06-15
What disappointed you about Frozen?
After seeing all the dolls, costumes, and hoopla over the movie , I believed the story must be more than magical.
Has Frozen turned you off from other books in this genre?
The verbiage used in the narrative was horrific. Nothing like I would expect from a classic fairy tale. Reminded me of some street kids talking. It horrifies me that youngsters are listening or viewing the movie over and over again!
The premises of the book was quite lovely, this could have been beautifully written and told. But, it was not. Shame on Disney!
Would you be willing to try another one of Andi Arndt’s performances?
Probably not. Though not the narrator's fault, that lies in the material presented. And the material was extremely Weak!
Any additional comments?
Is this an example of the "dumbing down" of America? Is this how we want our children to communicate and speak to one another? Disney did a phenomenal job of marketing, I only wish they had put as much effort into the written word.

Pat Conroy
Revisado: 01-03-13
Would you consider the audio edition of The Prince of Tides to be better than the print version?
What more needs to be said. I think he is one of America's best writers. He captures the reader with his true to life stories which make one laugh , cry, and grimace. True life characters are found in this book as well as all his others. I did enjoy this more than the written version because of the accents.
What does Frank Muller bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
i believed Mr. Muller to be Tom. He became the character!
Who was the most memorable character of The Prince of Tides and why?
Tom..........even though Savanna is so troubled it is about the turmoil that has shaped Tom's life and choices.
Any additional comments?
I always love Pat Conroy's books. One summer I couldn't take a vacation. Read/re-read all of them and felt like I had been in South Carolina.............
