Had potential, definitely got my attention early, but ultimately keeps itself squarely in a box. Break out a bowl of popcorn and your ivory-tower bingo card and you’ll fill the grid in no time!

Dialogue (writing) was clumsy and hard to listen to. Voice actors did a good job however of bringing it to life as much as possible.

The world’s food supply grows aggressively, occupying every inch of earth, no matter how inhospitable. World hunger is averted. Humanity flourishes. RC-714 is digested, absorbed…and passed on. The Change affects small fast-breeding mammals first. They multiply with the same aggressive speed as the ExoGen plants, but an insatiable hunger drives them to violence. A war between species breaks out. When RC-714 reaches humanity, along with every other large creature on the planet, civilization implodes.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 4,548
In this Pulitzer Prize-winning classic, historian Barbara Tuchman brings to life the people and events that led up to World War I. This was the last gasp of the Gilded Age, of Kings and Kaisers and Czars, of pointed or plumed hats, colored uniforms, and all the pomp and romance that went along with war. How quickly it all changed...and how horrible it became.

Narration is terrible. Grainy, slurred speech is hard to tolerate. I’m sure the book is academically sound but did not bring this epoch to life. Not a good audiobook.

Four chiller novellas set to keep listeners awake long after bedtime. One Past Midnight: "The Langoliers" takes a red-eye flight from LA to Boston into a most unfriendly sky. Only 11 passengers survive, but landing in an eerily empty world makes them wish they hadn't. Something's waiting for them, you see.

Some interesting plot developments. Characters are not very likable outside of the main character… listen at 2.5 x speed and it’s not a bad ride.

James Patterson leads you into the darkest recesses of the mind with this chilling, immersive audio thriller. We meet Brent Quill, a frustrated actor trying to take his game to the next level. When he learns about the intensive Method acting process, he dives in deep—and immediately lands the lead role in a TV series about a brutal serial killer. But when the Method’s controversial techniques start to take over Brent’s psyche, the lines between real life and acting begin to blur dangerously. How far will Brent go to “become” the character?

Feels like a long list of regurgitated feel-good-isms. Don’t get me wrong, they’re great suggestions. But after he tells you to put down your latest “guru” book and just do what he’s saying, he proceeds to vomit a lot of guru-book wisdom in very short order. It’s presented with very little illustrative value and even less intellectual rigor. Give me at least one or the other. This has neither. Don’t expect original thoughts here, but if you just want someone to give you a solid list of conventional wisdom then this will do nicely.
