Story
Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it’s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.

Loved this book!

Excellent story and excellent narration except for one little thing. The narrator is British and mispronounces Jack LaLanne repeatedly. This is a silly thing to obsess over, but those of us old enough to remember him, it’s just noticeable.

Good read Horrible AI narration
Reviewed: 02-06-24
I really enjoyed reading this book. Listening was painful. The AI voice never differentiates from character to character. Inflection is frequently inappropriate for the tone of the story. Names are often pronounced differently from sentence to sentence. I will only listen to human narration in the future.

The Ending???
Reviewed: 09-25-23
I enjoyed the book until the ending. The story just stopped abruptly. I even reread and listened to the last chapter twice. It’s like the author just got tired of writing. Very disappointing after spending hours reading and listening…

Story
Following Jane from her childhood as an orphan in Northern England through her experience as a governess at Thornfield Hall, Charlotte Brontë's Gothic classic is an early exploration of women's independence in the mid-19th century and the pervasive societal challenges women had to endure. At Thornfield, Jane meets the complex and mysterious Mr. Rochester, with whom she shares a complicated relationship that ultimately forces her to reconcile the conflicting passions of romantic love and religious piety.

Excellent Naration

Best narrator yet of the many Audible books I have listened to!
Thandiwe Newton masterfully changes voices for characters making this a joy to listen.

Story
Owen Foster has never wanted for anything. Then his mother shows up at his elite New Orleans boarding school cradling a bombshell: his privileged life has been funded by stolen money. After using the family business, the single largest employer in his small Louisiana town, to embezzle millions and drain the employees' retirement accounts, Owen's father vanished without a trace, leaving Owen and his mother to deal with the fallout. Owen returns to Lake Cane to finish his senior year, where people he hardly remembers despise him for his father's crimes.

The story was great. I loved the surprise twists at the end. The Southern drawl was awful. I have never heard a real southerner say Pee Can!
