If you could sum up Steve Jobs in three words, what would they be?

Grating, Genius & Determined

Any additional comments?

At first I almost stopped a third of the way in but am glad I persisted as the genius comes out more as you see why he did what he did, transforing not only the computing industry but also the music industry, not to mention the Pixar excellence.Its also an eye opener that high CEO's can be jerks and genius's all in one. He changed my world without me even knowing it, thank you, Steve Jobs.

Ended an Original Story

Would you listen to Ender's Game again? Why?

Yes - because it is an interesting story from a young persons perspective - 'the adults wont step in to help, they never will' which is like life isnt it, we must press on - perhaps without anyone's help.

Again an original story with some captivating consepts when considering it was written in 1985, sorry Apple, you didnt invent the tablet computer as much as you like suing others because you think they copied you but perhaps Orson Scott Card, like other Sci fi writters, thought of the concept long before you did.

What other book might you compare Ender's Game to and why?

The Princess of Mars - far better than the movie

What does Stefan Rudnicki and Harlan Ellison bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Great Narration

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

you fart eater (try saying that to someone who is angry at you - am guessing they will just start laughing)

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes - it is inspiring to be reminded that those who say and think they will achieve something in life, are often the ones that do. Here Joel gets us praying/declaring our future. I find the 10 to 20 minutes a day a refreshing start to my day!

If you could sum up A Short History of Nearly Everything in three words, what would they be?

Who and what was discovered first.

Any additional comments?

Overall well researched and facinating story of our discoveries around the world. I didnt like the last chapter on evolution, I am a christian so I shouldnt like it anyway but Bill re-affired my dislike for it with all the contradictions and theories or should I say scientific assumption of evolution, why call it evolution when "guesswork in order to deny God's existance" is a more appropriate title, someone needs only go outside and look at the beautiful world to realise God's handy work. The rest of the book was facinating and excellently researched, fully recommend the first 75% of the book!

Utopia not perfect

What other book might you compare Divergent to and why?

The Hunder Games as it is similar teen novel with a fight to survive and find one self

Which character – as performed by Emma Galvin – was your favorite?

Trish - the main character, good solid realistic person, far better than the irritating hunger games lead Katniss who could never make up her mind, Trish on the other hand may struggle in life but doesnt have the yoyo character of Katnis.

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

Life not as you know it - Phycological thriller.

Good strong characters, kind of reminds me of how family can be, good and bad!
