If you are a Simpsons fan this is a must. I can't stand how much I needed this in my life and didn't listen to it until now. Great performance and I laughed so hard.

With the original book, one thing is there. Add the special features and you can really get into understanding the book and the story because when you finish the book you will want to know more and more and more because you are way too wrapped up in the entire thing.

You will love it.

Scott Brick is himself and awesome. If Scott had puppies I'd adopt one just to listen to it bark. The story is based off the song "Come Josephine in My Flying Machine" and it is a completely amazing story based off some lyrics. Great idea and well executed.

Issac is himself and as an aviation enthusiast myself, it was fun to watch Mr Bell learn about flying during the dawn of aviation before landing was called landing and was rather called alighting. Great book, read the others in the series in order, or listen, because not that it is a need, but, you will want to.

Listening to the book was a great way to spend a drive between Ohio and South Carolina and still have some left for later times. The story grew quickly and kept working right until the end. The ending was indeed abrupt... But it's good enough.

Never can get enough of Scott Brick and his performance in this series. I love the Oregon and can't wait for the next installment. You can listen to any book out of order... But my opinion is that you start from the beginning and work through them all, it's worth it.

Loved the book but narrator is slow and monitonish . I had to speed the book up to at least 1.25x speed in order to enjoy listening to it. I took a break and listened to another book and this was way hard to get back into. I will continue the series and hope that another reader is in the works.

If you could sum up The Keeper in three words, what would they be?

Passion, Perfection, Precision

What about J. D. Jackson’s performance did you like?

He was very clear and easy to listen to, he went quickly through the story and didn't seem to pause unnecessarily. He made the story more fun to listen to than if the story had been just on a page.

Any additional comments?

This book is a great. I personally have some mental issues that I work against/with however you'd like to say it. One of them is a high anxiety and hyper-vigilance (which means you're looking for threats everywhere constantly) and the way my mind works is well described in this book. It's a different ailment, but you can hear his explanation of his working with his OCD and you can feel the compulsions I have being explained on how I must be checking for threat. That made this book touch me closely to start... then, we talk about the game!

As a youth, I played the game. I went on to play football when my size began to grow and grow and football called my name. My family has always been big into soccer. Both my brother and I have bought shares of Manchester United as our favorite club so we could call ourselves owners (it's dumb but really fun) and when we watch a match together we call it "an owner's meeting". Both my younger siblings played at the college level and did well in my opinion! The love of the game runs deep with us and seeing it from another unique perspective is really fun.

As a US Soccer fan, some of the goals were so well described that I had to go straight to a certain online video watching site and watch those same highlights again. Loved that. Absolutely got CHILLS listening to some of them. Being that the World Cup was less than a year ago, I can remember where I was and what I was doing while watching those games. Well, I was in my living room and I was slamming my Brazuca Ball into the ground praying, hoping, screaming, what have you at the screen while the games played out.

Great read for so many reasons, great listen for those of us that can't take time to read because we got lots of stuff to do with our hands. I'm an artist and draw and listen at the same time. Try it!

If you could sum up Patriot Games in three words, what would they be?

Indepth, informative, twisting

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Not on the edge, but it never stopped. It kept moving swiftly. When the main plot moved forward, you wanted to hear more and more.

Which character – as performed by Scott Brick – was your favorite?

Sally - That little girl is great! She really has 7 or 8 lines in it, but he nails her and you can't help but crack up! Scott Brick is awesome.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Doesn't need one. It is its own. But, it was made into a film anyway! :)

Any additional comments?

Scott Brick is one of my favorite readers. I love the books he reads by Clive Cussler and I am getting into the Jack Ryan books because of it. Loving it too. I would suggest listening to this just based on Scott Brick's performance.

Then, as you well know, Tom Clancy is the man when it comes to his books, so keep them going too. Really, if you're looking at this you want it and you're going to get it. So.. well... DO IT!
