Story4 out of 5 stars 442
From her place in the store, Klara, an Artificial Friend with outstanding observational qualities, watches carefully the behaviour of those who come in to browse and of those who pass in the street outside. She remains hopeful a customer will soon choose her, but when the possibility emerges that her circumstances may change for ever, Klara is warned not to invest too much in the promises of humans.

Perfection. If you love books about robots and AI, this is next level. Masterfully written, deep, rich characters and insightful literary depth.

For five grand a month and a million-dollar chaser, Roger Mulligan didn't care how crazy the old geezer was. All he had to do was keep Joseph Perry Shackleford alive and keep him from squandering the estate for a year. But they didn't tell him about the pixies.

I listen to a lot of audio books. This was among the best. Listened to it in one go. Great storyline, characters and narration.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 781
In 2029 the United States is engaged in a bloodless world war that will wipe out the savings of millions of American families. Overnight, on the international currency exchange, the "almighty dollar" plummets in value, to be replaced by a new global currency: the "bancor". In retaliation the president declares that America will default on its loans. With "Deadbeat Nation" being unable to borrow, the government prints money to cover its bills. What little remains for savers is rapidly eaten away by runaway inflation.

Where does The Mandibles rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Surprisingly, this is one of the top 5 audiobooks I have listened to. I say surprisingly because at first, I thought the in-depth discussions and understanding the Madiables have throughout their family about university level, complicated economic scenarios was forced, implausible and unrealistic.......but as it turns out, the wit was so sharp, the characters so well developed and engaging, and the understanding of the economic information so core to the suspension of disbelief, you first forgive, and then are thankful for the insertion of the dialogue. If you're a political science or economics major, you will be riveted by this book. I might caution you however, if you are the average American, think CNN is real news and believe the current political status quo in America is reasonable, this book is going to be not only a little heavy but practically unintelligible.
I was so impressed by this book it was the one which spurred me to write my first review, 146 books later.
