Taylorson's skilled narration of Maggert's wonderfully inventive novel had me circling the block to finish chapters.

Well done!

Pretty Girls starts strong, but goes off the rails in a way reminiscent of a bad horror film. After the umpteenth time Claire acts in a manner contrary to her best interest, I had to pull the plug.

Returning book unfinished with six hours remaining.

Michael Beck's renditions of Grisham novels rank at the top of my list of favorite audio books. The Boys From Biloxi... well... not so much.

It drags on insufferably without much drama nor a plot twist. It took me nearly a month to finish.

Jack Carr and Ray Porter are a formidable duo. Carr's writing is spectacular, and brought into sharp focus with Porter's narration.

I burned through the entire five-book series in less than a month. Can't wait for the next one!

Bryson is a rare talent. His books are both entertaining and educational, and his narration skills are superb.

Goins is a man of many talents. In addition to being an excellent writer, he is also an outstanding narrator. He does an excellent job of distilling his writing experience into a well organized, enjoyable audiobook packed with great advice.

No plot twist, and the readers voice put me to sleep... while I was driving. I'm a huge Grisham fan, and The Chamber was a huge let down.

Were this book not read by the supremely talented Frank Muller, I would have given up on it after a few hours. I found it to be blustery and needlessly over indulgent, with a predictable conclusion.

You know that book that is sooo good that you dont want it to end? That is this book. A Grisham masterpiece made even better by outstanding narration by Michael Beck.

Having been entertained by the movie, I thought I would give the book a listen to get a more detailed look at the band's antics. I was not disappointed.

What I did not expect was the human side of Motley's story. Their animalistic debauchery has been well documented over the years, and I generally believed that they were above the trials and tribulations suffered by we mere mortals. This book does an excellent job telling a softer side of their story.

Vince's description of his four year old daughter's death, and how it affected him, is worth the cost of the book. I am a 6', 250 pound, tattooed blue collar roughneck, and I cried during this chapter. Hard.

It is easy to think that superstars are not real people and somehow above the fray. This book demonstrates that nobody coasts through life unscathed, regardless of fame and fortune.

Best nonfiction entertainment I have heard in a long time.
