In June 2021, the whole world was listening as Britney Spears spoke in open court. The impact of sharing her voice—her truth—was undeniable, and it changed the course of her life and the lives of countless others. The Woman in Me reveals for the first time her incredible journey—and the strength at the core of one of the greatest performers in pop music history. Written with remarkable candor and humor, Spears’s groundbreaking book illuminates the enduring power of music and love—and the importance of a woman telling her own story, on her own terms, at last.

Beauty amid tragedy
Reviewed: 12-13-23
Even though I knew what was coming, it still hurt to hear everything that Britney went through. I found myself anticipating the very public moments when she struggled and yet wincing all the same when she spoke about them. And yet—to be able to speak so candidly and with an undertone of hopefulness despite the struggles she faced makes this book special. Hopefully she continues to find her peace.

In the middle of the night, in a house on a quiet street in suburban Minneapolis, intruders silently murder Luke Ellis' parents and load him into a black SUV. The operation takes less than two minutes. Luke will wake up at The Institute, in a room that looks just like his own, except there's no window. And outside his door are other doors, behind which are other kids with special talents - telekinesis and telepathy - who got to this place the same way Luke did: Kalisha, Nick, George, Iris, and 10-year-old Avery Dixon.

Mr. King Delivers Again
Reviewed: 06-22-20
As a longtime fan of Stephen Kong’s storytelling, I am quick to jump on any of his books that I can find. However I am often not fully satisfied by at least one aspect of the story. This is one of his great works, taking me on a journey from start to finish. I would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys a good supernatural thriller.

Over the next 23 days, the entire DC area will be thrust into a reign of terror unprecedented in American history. Sniper attacks targeting and murdering everyday citizens will bring the entire region to its knees as a nation still reeling from the recent attacks of 9/11 and the anthrax scare is forced to confront a new type of brutal assault - this time in their own backyard.

Loved this performance
Reviewed: 11-15-19
This is an intense story, for those who remember living through it and for those who are hearing about it for the first time. The group who created this audiobook are incredible—I loved the variety of perspectives that were brought together in this book. Using interviews of the victims, surviving family members, and detectives gave me a true glimpse into the story behind the news clips. I would recommend listening to this audiobook if you have an interest in true crime and/or the D.C. sniper case.

Why we think it’s a great listen: A masterpiece like none other, Brooks’ powerful performance of Haley’s words has been known to leave listeners in tears. It begins with a birth in an African village in 1750, and ends two centuries later at a funeral in Arkansas. And in that time span, an unforgettable cast of men, women, and children come to life, many of them based on the people from Alex Haley's own family tree.

Truly, deliciously horrifying
Reviewed: 08-17-19
While many of Mr. King’s novels explore the fantastic, the horror of this one comes from its connection to reality. I can easily say this is the most horrifying book I’ve ever read, simply because it connects to our world so completely. I will definitely have trouble sleeping after finishing this book; and the themes developed within this story will haunt me, like the pull of the creatures from this story.

On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day in Chester's Mill, Maine, the town is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. Planes crash into it and fall from the sky in flaming wreckage, a gardener's hand is severed as "the dome" comes down on it, people running errands in the neighboring town are divided from their families, and cars explode on impact. No one can fathom what this barrier is, where it came from, and when - or if - it will go away.

I greatly enjoyed this book and Mr. King’s exceptional storytelling, but I did feel as though I’d read a similar ending in one of his previous books. However, I would still highly recommend this novel and feel it is a thought-provoking story that will stay with you long after you finish.

Less than impressed
Reviewed: 03-02-18
My dislikes of this book far outweighed my likes. As always, I appreciated Mr. King’s detailed writing. However, this book could have actually been half as long as it was. It stretched on, seeming to never be drawing to a close. Along with that, the gore of this book flirted with the obscene. It was really overdone and unnecessary in most parts. Finally, while I did like the narrator, the sound effects used in the recording were just weird. Overall, I would not recommend purchasing this book.

But really... who killed JonBenet Ramsey?
Reviewed: 01-12-18
While I appreciate the detail with which Wecht explored the death and subsequent investigation into the case of JonBenet Ramsey, I was not a fan of this book. His insistence on referencing himself in the third person as “Dr. Cyril Wecht” every time he offered a personal insight or recollection into the case came across-at least to me-as self-indulgent. Furthermore, I expected the authors to establish a legitimate theory of their own once they discounted all other theories at the end of the book. Unfortunately when I finished listening, I was left with the title question still unanswered: who actually killed JonBenet Ramsey?

The story really captures the emotions of someone trapped in addiction and depression. Along with that, it is a twisted road of "who done it" from beginning to end. Well written and nicely performed. I would definitely recommend this book!
