Wish the book was as good as the narration!
Reviewed: 08-07-20
Steve West's narration is great, but I will continue to listen to him with a different audio selection. Bible preaching by any other name is just as sanctimonious. I am doing a sampling of classic books, but didn't enjoy this one.

Reviewed: 06-25-20
I am so much enjoying this book, an absolute joy and surprise! I am a Prime Amazon subscriber, and the AmazonClassics Editions are free for Prime members to "check out" in June 2020. So, for fun this month, I have been borrowing these classics randomly. I had never heard of this book before this week. I am really enjoying the novel, but am especially enjoying the narration by Matthew Lloyd Davies. What a delight and treat!

Come with us to an Enchanted Place, a forest where Winnie-the-Pooh lived with Piglet, Rabbit, Owl, Eeyore, Kanga, and Little Roo. The stories are about Christopher Robin and these good companions having wonderful times getting in and out of trouble. It is all very exciting and, really, quite thrilling no matter how young or old you may be. It is painful to try and imagine what the world would be like without them.

Meg Langslow's summer is not going swimmingly. In her small Virginia hometown, she's the maid of honor at the nuptials of three loved ones - each of whom has dumped the planning in her hands. One bride is set on including a Native American herbal purification ceremony while another wants live peacocks on the lawn. But when an offensive newcomer, who hints at skeletons in the guests' closets, is found dead under suspicious circumstances, level-headed Meg's to-do list extends from flower arrangements and bridal registries to catching a killer - before the next event is her own funeral.

Khai Diep has no feelings. Well, he feels irritation when people move his things or contentment when ledgers balance down to the penny‚ but not important emotions, like love. His family knows better - that his autism means he just processes emotions differently. When he steadfastly avoids relationships, his mother takes matters into her own hands and returns to Vietnam to find him the perfect bride.

Stella Lane thinks math is the only thing that unites the universe. She comes up with algorithms to predict customer purchases - a job that has given her more money than she knows what to do with as well as way less experience in the dating department than the average 30-year-old. It doesn't help that she has Asperger's and that French kissing reminds her of a shark getting its teeth cleaned by pilot fish. She decides that she needs lots of practice - with a professional - which is why she hires escort Michael Phan.

Reviewed: 07-16-19
The editors of "Audicted to Romance" highly recommended this book, so I checked it out with my Audible Escape subscription. This had to have been the best romance book I have read in a decade, if not all-time. It flows and moves from the beginning. The story line is believable, and the characters are lovable. The narration is superb! I can't recommend this book more highly for a fun read!

One of Jane Austen’s most beloved works, Pride and Prejudice, is vividly brought to life by Academy Award nominee Rosamund Pike ( Gone Girl). In her bright and energetic performance of this British classic, she expertly captures Austen’s signature wit and tone. Her attention to detail, her literary background, and her performance in the 2005 feature film version of the novel provide the perfect foundation from which to convey the story of Elizabeth Bennet, her four sisters, and the inimitable Mr. Darcy.
