Story
Your personal identity describes who you are, who you aspire to be, or who people perceive you to be. The majority of us have been told in our lives at one time or another that we can be whoever or whatever we want to be, but what happens when someone else makes that decision for you without your honest consent? Stolen Identity is a story about a young man's battle with a dysfunctional family, a faulty criminal justice system, and oppressive society to distinguish who he really is from who they have labeled him as and virtually created him to be.

RoShawn’s story is a sobering reminder that the system is broken but that doesn’t mean our spirits and souls are.

A window in to a justice system gone wrong
Reviewed: 07-05-22
At first the narration made this story hard to listen to. As I listened to the story I became convinced this story should not be easy to listen to. Stolen Identity tells one story of a justice system that plays a significant role in our society and has gone wrong. Sadly this is an all too common story.

Story
In this gripping narrative history, Laura Spinney traces the overlooked pandemic to reveal how the virus travelled across the globe, exposing mankind's vulnerability and putting our ingenuity to the test. As socially significant as both world wars, the Spanish flu dramatically disrupted - and often permanently altered - global politics, race relations, and family structures while spurring innovation in medicine, religion, and the arts.

Some of what I was looking for but still a good book for the time.

I was looking for historical information on the aftermath of the 1918 pandemic which was provided in the last section of the book. The first section provided pre 1918 epidemiology background and the intervening chapters were a parade of the macabre that the 1918 pandemic deserves.

Story
Tim and his friends find out the hard way that you shouldn't question the game master, and you shouldn't make fun of his cape. One minute, they're drinking away the dreariness of their lives, escaping into a fantasy game and laughing their asses off. The next minute, they're in a horse-drawn cart surrounded by soldiers pointing crossbows at them.

Good short story plot but...
Reviewed: 04-06-17
most of the humor the story tried to sell fell flat with me. I don't think I'll be listening to the rest.

Story
When Lenina and Bernard visit a savage reservation, we experience how Utopia can destroy humanity. Cloning, feel-good drugs, anti-aging programs, and total social control through politics, programming, and media: has Aldous Huxley accurately predicted our future? With a storyteller's genius, he weaves these ethical controversies in a compelling narrative that dawns in the year 632 A.F. (After Ford, the deity). When Lenina and Bernard visit a savage reservation, we experience how Utopia can destroy humanity.

Michael York should stick to the stage and leave narration to the pros.

There is a reason books become classics

A Brave New World still has much to say about our society and should be read by anyone who spends time thinking about the world we live in.
York's performance was one of reasons I picked this title and I was not disappointed!

A thoroughly enjoyable to listen.

The book starts out with a great humor humorous bent which unfortunately diminishes. The book goes on to an interesting, competitive exploration of our galaxy.
