Moose (Arlo) Mulligan's biggest grief propelled him into the world of Search and Rescue. After years as a former Navy Rescue Chopper pilot, he returned home to start Air One Rescue—and made a name for himself. He loves his job, his life, and his routines…which include breakfast at the Skyport, at the table of Tillie Young. She’s sweet, and pretty, but Moose has no room in his life for anything more. And then, Tillie shows up, beaten and desperate…and needs his help.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 48
Amusing and informative, Hey Ranger! teaches as it entertains with tales of boat-ramp misadventures, lost Afghani campers, encounters with wild animals, dumb crooks, and more. One chapter, "Tales from the Wild Side", brings together unusual incidents from National Park Service reports, and the concluding essay, "Don't Be a Victim of Your Vacation", advises visitors on how to avoid being a story on the evening news.

The humor mixed with common sense and interesting stories made my outdoor work so enjoyable and has me googling all the National Parks! I wish there were more Jim Burnett books on Audible. Narration was wonderful, like sitting by a campfire with a Ranger sharing stories over a good cup of coffee.

It is 1893, and the first generation of immigrants who came to America for the promise of free land and a good life for their children have finally achieved their dreams. They labored hard on the land and now have a bountiful heritage to pass on to the next generation. However, many of the young people aren't interested in becoming farmers - they have aspirations of their own. Thorliff Bjorklund has been writing stories and plays since he was a young boy and longs to attend college to study journalism. But his father has other plans for him and refuses to agree.

Only halfway through
Reviewed: 10-05-23
I’m losing track of the story, and I wasn’t sure why until I glanced at the reviews. They are right. Not all of the narrator’s voices sound organic. Some almost feel sarcastic. I think the doctor’s voice is believable, but the women’s voices and the Norwegian accents are irritating. I’m listening at 1.5x speed now to get through it since I don’t want to miss the story. I pay for Audible because sitting still to read is almost painful. I’m looking forward to the second book in the series.

Michael Pollan, known for his best-selling nonfiction audio, including The Omnivores Dilemma and How to Change Your Mind, conceived and wrote Caffeine: How Caffeine Created the Modern World as an Audible Original. In this controversial and exciting listen, Pollan explores caffeine’s power as the most-used drug in the world - and the only one we give to children (in soda pop) as a treat.

Humans: Plant-Deceived Addicts
Reviewed: 02-12-20
I thought this book could have accurately been titled “Humans: Plant-Deceived Addicts”. Listening in 2x speed actually gave the book a more humorous effect in light of the heightened, fast-speed influence of caffeine that the author wanted to convey to his audience. I almost felt motivated to try going coffee-free until the end of the book where he pretty much throws in the towel and says life is better with caffeine - why fight it? If you know it’s an addiction and you’re ok with it, why stop? I guess I wanted to feel inspired to change, and it stopped short of that. He paints the picture that people have been duped by two plants into boosting them to a higher spot in the evolutionary ladder of survival. We disagree at that point, and I think that’s where I lost interest. I liked that he covered a bit of the world history of caffeine.

The story was good and I enjoyed the mystery. However, the voices for the men were awful. Even the younger boys sounded like dusty, old professors or clueless buffoons. It made it hard for me to believe the characters.
