I really like this series...

This narration was a complete disappointment. The voices were totally distracting and made the listen unpleasant. I would recommend the series but not this audible rendition.

Though Anderson Cooper has always considered himself close to his mother, his intensely busy career as a journalist for CNN and CBS affords him little time to spend with her. After she suffers a brief but serious illness at the age of ninety-one, they resolve to change their relationship by beginning a yearlong conversation unlike any they have ever had before. The result is a correspondence of surprising honesty and depth in which they discuss their lives, the things that matter to them, and what they still want to learn about each other.

Anderson Cooper and his mother Gloria Vanderbilt
Reviewed: 11-13-17
When I chose this book I had no idea what to expect. It is a heartbreaking rendering of the lives of mother and son. Behind the fame and the family fortune, great love and great loss lurks. I learned more than I expected to about Hollywood and one of America's first families. It was an intimate portrayal of their lives through interviews (Gloria) and interviewer (Anderson). I enjoyed it and I remember Vanderbilt jeans. Audible20

A collection of 17 wonderful short stories showing that two-time Oscar winner Tom Hanks is as talented a writer as he is an actor. The short stories are surprising, intelligent, heartwarming, and, for the millions and millions of Tom Hanks fans, an absolute must-have!

I love anything Tom Hanks
Reviewed: 11-13-17
The stories were beautifully rendered and nostalgic with a hint of magic realism. It is really special when an author reads their own work. Hanks conjures up the past and future with wit and humor and humanity. Was it the best short story collection I have ever read? No, but it is the only one by Tom Hanks.

Story4 out of 5 stars 6,366
Alex Verus is part of a world hidden in plain sight, running a magic shop in London. And while Alex's own powers aren't as showy as some mages, he does have the advantage of foreseeing the possible future-allowing him to pull off operations that have a million-to-one-chance of success. But when Alex is approached by multiple factions to crack open a relic from a long-ago mage war, he knows that whatever's inside must be beyond powerful.

Classic timeless story read beautifully
Reviewed: 10-16-16
Harper Lee captured a moment in history both ugly and beautiful about the soul of a person no matter their color. For anyone who wants to understand the history of racism in the USA this is where to start.
