Mass Confusion: Why I Rejected The Church For So Long And What Changed is a really good book with many parts that are similar to my life, so it resonated with me. I grew up in an extremely religious family and fell away for quite a while, only to return to the church as an adult when I had a son of my own. This book brought back many memories and is well written, almost immediately catching my undivided attention. The narrator also helps bring it to life, making the words even more powerful. I wouldn’t have minded if it were a little longer, especially as an audiobook.

I recommend this book to anyone who has fallen out with the church and people who like reading a good, heartfelt story.

Invent, Innovate, and Prosper is a book that I was lucky enough to read sometime back and when I saw the audio book for sale, I jumped at the chance to go over it again. The audio book sticks to the original material as I remember it , but it’s convenient to listen to it while I do other work, so I think it was a good idea and worth the effort for the author.

As I’m sure I mentioned in my original review, this book walks you through the process of inventing something new, so it’s invaluable to anyone that has an idea to share with the world, but it’s also a lot more than that. You get a good history lesson with plenty of fascinating stories about many of the world's inventions that you probably never heard before. You also get a change in perspective as the book teaches you how to look at the world in a new way and you’ll find yourself thinking of new inventions because you will know how to see what the world needs.

I really enjoyed this book and am glad I found the audio version. I recommend it to anyone with a creative mind and those that enjoy history.

A Man of Honor, or Horatio's Confessions is an awesome book that I read when I purchased it as a Kindle book a few months ago. I’ve never listened to an audio book before and since I liked this book so much, I thought I would give it a try. It was pleasing to listen to, and I was surprised at the number of things I had overlooked in my first read over. I’m glad I revisited this book and I’ll try out a few more audio titles also.

I’m ashamed to say I still didn’t get around to reading Hamlet, though reading this book twice really makes me want to do so, but for anyone else reading this review that didn’t read Hamlet, you should know this is a great story that stands on its own and you don’t need to read it to walk away from this book satisfied.

The characters are great, and the story moves along at an exciting pace. I recommend it to anyone who likes Shakespeare, adventure stories, great writing and great characters.
