One very thought provoking book
Reviewed: 12-21-08
I loved this book. The narration is fantastic and done in a style where it sounds more like a person is sitting down and talking to you. The book takes a very linear approach to spell out in very basic logic how your beliefs and thoughts can really affect your experience on this planet. It was VERY thought provoking.
If you have some doubt about whether your thoughts and beliefs can have a real tangible affect on your life I would recommend this book. It lays out a very scientific and common sense explanation to a lot of it. I'll be listening to this one again.

Pretty good - a little slow in middle
Reviewed: 12-21-08
I downloaded this because of all the hype around it. It was an interesting listen. It got a little slow in the middle for me but if you stick with it gets better in the fourth quarter. Not quite good enough for four stars though.

These are great books to keep and listen to every so often to remind you. I think Jerry does a fantastic job as the narrator. I guess everyone has their own tastes but I think his speaking cadence really seems to fit with this material.

Fantastic
Reviewed: 07-30-08
What a fantastic story. It brought me close to tears a few times. For a grown man to be brought to tears while driving his car has got to tell you how powerful this book is. Author does a great job of narrating.
Starts off a little slow and is hard to keep up with unusual character names but stick with it. Recommended.

Miles Vorkosigan makes his debut in this frenetic coming-of-age tale. At age 17, Miles is allowed to take the entrance exams to the elite military academy; he passes the written but manages, through miscalculation in a moment of anger, to break both his legs on the obstacle course, washing out before he begins. His aged grandfather dies in his sleep shortly after, for which Miles blames himself.

Wanted to like it but....
Reviewed: 04-02-08
I just could not get into this. The narration was very good and the characters interesting. But the story was either jumping around too quickly or dragging. There was no good medium. I ended up stopping it about 2/3 because it hit a slow part and lost me.

Good review course
Reviewed: 12-24-07
I took spanish in high school so I knew some of the language going in. This was a great review course. The audio is well done and gives you opportunity to repeat sentences and then will sort of quiz you about previous words or verbs. There are hours of lessons. I think you really get your money's worth.

Didn't care for it
Reviewed: 12-24-07
The audio is nice in that it puts phrases to the tempo of music and makes them easy to repeat. However, it doesn't cover how the sentences can be changed or discuss how the verbs are used. I preferred learning spanish like crazy as I seem to get more out of it. Just my 2 cents.

Opened my eyes to ACIM
Reviewed: 12-24-07
I had tried to read A Course in Miracles years ago but simply could not understand the text and always put it down. This audio program helped open my eyes to what the book was trying to say and got me interested in reading it again.
The audio is well done, and while Gary doesn't have the professional public speaker type voice he does a good job of narrating.
If you were curious of a course in miracles or had tried to study the course and found it difficult to follow I recommend this audio as a good primer.
Thanks Gary, it got me started back on that path.

Kurt Vonnegut's absurdist classic introduces us to Billy Pilgrim, a man who becomes 'unstuck in time' after he is abducted by aliens from the planet Tralfamadore. In a plot-scrambling display of virtuosity, we follow Pilgrim simultaneously through all phases of his life, concentrating on his (and Vonnegut's) shattering experience as an American prisoner of war who witnesses the firebombing of Dresden.

What a great book
Reviewed: 05-25-07
I had never heard of this book but I'm so glad I found it. What a great book. I love the humor in it. Reminded me a little of hitchikers guide to galaxy.
I thought Ethan Hawke did an outstanding job of narrating. It's worth it just for that. Highly recommended.

America is a barren landscape of smoldering ashes, devoid of life except for those people still struggling to scratch out some type of existence. Amidst this destruction, a father and his young son walk, always toward the coast, but with no real understanding that circumstances will improve once they arrive. Still, they persevere, and their relationship comes to represent goodness in a world of utter devastation.

Poetic but dark
Reviewed: 05-05-07
The author writes with such a poetic style that this book is really interesting to listen to. The story is dark so it may not be everyone's cup of tea.
Narration was excellent.
