dude, sounds like he's recording in a bathroom and doesn't have a good “radio voice” as we say and has trouble pronouncing specific medical terms.
Decent content. Poor presentation.

In this remarkable recording, C. S. Lewis shows why millions of readers have acclaimed him the greatest spokesman for Christianity in the 20th century. In a resonant, baritone voice, Lewis explores the nature of the four Greek words that are translated love in English: storge (affection), philia (friendship), eros (sexual or romantic love) and agape (selfless love).

Content is interesting. However, dialect requires concentration to mentally translate to modern, US English. Recommend listening to sample first and seeing if it makes sense.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 48
In the mid-1930s, North America's Great Plains faced one of the worst man-made environmental disasters in world history. Donald Worster's classic chronicle of the devastating years between 1929 and 1939 tells the story of the Dust Bowl in ecological as well as human terms. Twenty-five years after his book helped to define the new field of environmental history, Worster shares his more recent thoughts on the subject of the land and how humans interact with it.

Despite its old-school reputation, amateur radio is on the rise, and the airwaves are busier than ever. That's no surprise: Being a ham is a lot of fun, providing an independent way to keep in touch with friends, family, and new acquaintances around the world. Hams are also good in a crisis, keeping communications alive and crackling during extreme weather events and loss of communications.

For years, rumors of the "Marsh Girl" have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on the North Carolina coast. So in late 1969, when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so-called Marsh Girl. But Kya is not what they say. Sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand.

If you've ever asked yourself why he doesn't love you, whether it was in your head or out loud to a friend, this handy audiobook is the answer for which you've been looking. It's the equivalent of having a nice, quiet (but very logical) talk with a good friend or big sister who loves you and who has been where you are. And of course there are more questions over which we women tend to torture ourselves.

I just found this on my Audible account that my ex girlfriend downloaded. Note the "ex" aspect. Here is the thing. You cannot force and sway anyone to love you. Love is a choice and all you, as a woman, can do is be the best person you can be. Be kind. Use nice words. Do not instigate. Show love. If it does not work - then move on. No need to read a book. Just do your part and be your best.

Why we think it’s a great listen: A performance so poignant, we gave Bronson Pinchot (yes, Balki from Perfect Strangers) our inaugural Narrator of the Year award.... In the monsoon season of 1968-69 at a fire support base called Matterhorn, located in the remote mountains of Vietnam, a young and ambitious Marine lieutenant wants to command a company to further his civilian political ambitions. But two people stand in his way.

A bitter taste of Vietnam

I was born after the Vietnam war and never had much exposer to those who fought other than superficial conversation. I've always wanted to know more about what it was like being a soldier in that war. And I can tell you this, After listening I am glad that I was not born 20 years earlier. The hell that this audiobook describes is so real. It was as I was there. I could
Feel, see, taste and smell the events. From the comical and mundane to the grotesque I was there in Nam. And to think these men who fought for us came back to people spitting on them is disgusting.

Would you listen to You are a Badass again? Why?
I realized that I am a Badass under my facade
What was one of the most memorable moments of You are a Badass?
We are dying. We all are dying faster than we envision and I have allowed my past failures to define who I am to myself. I've permitted shame and fear to define the present.
Which character – as performed by Jen Sincero – was your favorite?
She was not always a Badass but made herself into one. Wikipedia defines Badass as Jen.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I took all my possessions and threw them off the 5th story balcony and freed up my world. Not really, but that is what I wanted to do.
Any additional comments?
I like Turtles.

Not the Best

- Inspired By … The Bible Experience Audio Bible - Today's New International Version, TNIV: Psalms
- The Bible Experience
- By: Inspired By Media Group
- Narrated by: Angela Bassett, Cuba Gooding Jr., Samuel L. Jackson, Blair Underwood
Overly Dramatized with horrid background music
Reviewed: 01-21-15
What did you like best about Psalms? What did you like least?
Dramatization overkill + Lame background non-sensical chimes, nature sounds and other noise = Miserable. Angela Bassett is way overly dramatized. Every single syllable of every single word is overly pronounces and the dramatization turns to annoyance. Couple that with background music that once would expect in a spa, it takes away from one's ability to absorb the meant of each Psalm.
Would you be willing to try another book from Inspired By Media Group? Why or why not?
No. This was not up to what my exceptions were.
Would you listen to another book narrated by the narrators?
Not if I see Angela Bassett's name in there. I saw Samuel L. Jackson and Cuba Gooding and though it was going to be awesome. Instead, it was was so grating that I had to turn it off.
Do you think Psalms needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
This questions is irrelevant an quite comical. Unless you are asking God you ain't gonna get a follow-up book.
Any additional comments?
Overall, I would look at other resources that will spare the reading and off-key singing.
