Story
Felix used to be a traveling salesman, drifting through the galaxy and hawking his wares. Used to be, that is, until a freak accident in an out-of-the-way system. One rough landing later, Felix finds himself stranded on a wild, alien planet - front and center - in a deadly role he never auditioned for to entertain a secret audience. The upside? A fellow passenger made it to the escape pod with Felix. With this reptilian stranger at his side, he’s not totally alone. The downside? They don’t share a language.

Story
When she was 15, Jennifer Mee developed an unrelenting case of the hiccups - hiccupping as many as 50 times a minute for months. Soon the Florida teen's strange story went viral. Dubbed the "Hiccup Girl" by the media, she gained international sympathy and appeared on a slew of popular TV shows. Eventually Jennifer's hiccups went away, and so did her fame.

I'll be returning this book at my first opportunity. Poorly written, too long for the content, boring story, wrong narrator... I can't say anything good about this book.

Story
It is a society that is, officially, a paradise. Superior to the decadent West, Stalin's Soviet Union is a haven for its citizens, providing for all of their needs: education, health care, security. In exchange, all that is required is their hard work, and their loyalty and faith to the Soviet State. But now a murderer is on the loose.

Based on a Real Serial Killer
Reviewed: 06-19-15
This is the best book I've read in years. I have practically forced many of my friends to read it and they all loved it too. In the midst of those recommendations, I wanted to read it again. I listened to it instead and was not disappointed. I appreciate that the narrator does not over do it with his Russian accents. I didn't love the sound effects /music, but it wasn't heavy handed.
As for the story, I have never read anything with more twists that actually surprised me. Tom Smith sets up the story very well and the characters are brilliantly written, even in passing.
One of my friends sent me a link for The Romanov Ripper and this is based on a real serial killer who operated with almost no opposition because of Russia ' s utopian myth. Facinating.

Story
Lisbeth Salander—the heart of Larsson’s two previous novels—lies in critical condition, a bullet wound to her head, in the intensive care unit of a Swedish city hospital. She’s fighting for her life in more ways than one: if and when she recovers, she’ll be taken back to Stockholm to stand trial for three murders. With the help of her friend, journalist Mikael Blomkvist, she will not only have to prove her innocence, but also identify and denounce those in authority.

Vaguely Disappointed
Reviewed: 06-11-15
Simon Vance always does a great job, but if he wasn't the narrator I doubt I'd have finished. The second and third book run together in one long story, but nothing much happens. There are a ton of unnecessary characters to keep track of, endless summary and recap all without a climax. I think it would have been redeemed if the main characters had more interaction. I wish I'd stopped at the Dragon Tattoo.
