Story
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Having read this book many years ago, this was an excellent performance of a chilling story and what happens when we let Big Brother take our minds.
Andrew Scott is particularly chilling, with that smooth, seductive voice. All the cast performed excellently.

This classic deserves better

Excellent reading of a classic
Reviewed: 04-17-19
I reread Dune periodically. First read it in junior high. Herbert is one of the reasons I can't tolerate crap writing. Couldn't have enjoyed this Audible performance any more.

Nobody Owens, known to his friends as Bod, is a normal boy. He would be completely normal if he didn't live in a sprawling graveyard, being raised and educated by ghosts, with a solitary guardian who belongs to neither the world of the living nor of the dead. There are dangers and adventures in the graveyard for a boy. But if Bod leaves the graveyard, then he will come under attack from the man Jack - who has already killed Bod's family…

Unique children's story... Loved it!

Delightfully human stories from the graveyard.
Reviewed: 01-27-16
The stories of Nobody Owens and his life in the graveyard have all the elements of dread and horror one would expect from Neil Gaiman, and yet it is a very delightful, human story of growing up and coming of age. All the performances were excellent.

The complete finale of the hit BBC Radio 4 sitcom- 2 episodes. Cabin Pressure is set in the wing and prayer world of a tiny, one-plane airline, staffed by two pilots, one on his way down, and one who was never up to start with. In this, the finale of the whole series, we discover that for MJN Air, whether it's choosing an ice-cream flavour, putting a princess in a van or remembering your grandmother's name, no job is too small, but, many, many jobs are too difficult.
