Story
In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.

I can clearly see what a Mom means to her children in this book. I can feel the pain, the struggle and the life of the author. Totally love it.

Story
A middle-aged man returns to his childhood home to attend a funeral. He is drawn to the farm at the end of the road, where, when he was seven, he encountered a most remarkable girl, Lettie Hempstock. Forty years earlier, a man committed suicide in a stolen car at this farm at the end of the road. Like a fuse on a firework, his death lit a touchpaper and resonated in unimaginable ways. The darkness was unleashed, something scary and thoroughly incomprehensible to a little boy. And Lettie - magical, comforting, wise beyond her years - promised to protect him, no matter what.

How could he possibly write a thriller story so beautifully? Or Can I even call it a horror or thriller at all? I very much feel like this is more of psychological and philosophical reflection of our childhood in a reality that we can barely say a reality.

One of the most underrated fiction novels. I listened twice back to back within a week. Can't wait to listen a sequel.

Story
Aliens exist...and, as it turns out, most of them aren’t that friendly. Jacob Brown wasn’t even born yet the first time they attacked Earth. He was only 14 the second time it happened. When Earth finally came together and fielded its first spaceborne military, Jacob didn’t hesitate to volunteer. Serving aboard a mighty starship, he’d be able to defend his planet - and his family - when, inevitably, they came again.

A good read!
Reviewed: 05-19-20
A part from some facts that are insensible and too convenient to happen in the first place, this is a good read with jaw dropping twists. Once you think you have already guessed the twist, you will be bombarded by another twist that you haven't seen coming at all. However, I don't like the ending about Floyd. He deserves better. The ending is not fair for him.

I can understand what gives rise to the final verdict or conclusion but cannot relate. Not sure I would come up with the same response or the complete opposite.
