LOREN'S ADVENTURE TO FIND KILIX
Reviewed: 08-28-15
What made the experience of listening to Taken the most enjoyable?
The most enjoyable part of the book was listening to Peter. He is the bad guy some times and a good guy other times. It is hard to dislike him, but he is the villain of the book. You want to see him dead but then again you don't. Great character created by Mr. Chapin and brought to life by Mr. Bennington's narration.
What does Joshua Bennington bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Joshua Bennington brings audio books alive. He did a supper job with Peter in this book.
Any additional comments?
I would recommend the the book if for no other reason than Peter. The book is the next in line after "Chronicles of Kilix" I found this one more entertaining and fast moving. I am looking forward to listening to the third book "Solix"

The rise of the Artificial Intelligence in 2055, known as The Lost Year, resulted in massive casualties on a global scale. Planes crashed, elevators malfunctioned, missiles launched and brought the human race to its knees. Humanity was able to stop the A.I. after a year of tragedy and devastation and has been rebuilding ever since.

What made the experience of listening to Chronicles of Kilix the most enjoyable?
I enjoyed listening to Kilix because it brought back thoughts of when I was in High School. And I found the use of computers in the future to be interesting. Particularly the twist when we find out that the word was taken over by them.
What about Joshua Bennington’s performance did you like?
Joshua Bennington did an excellent job of doing the different voices. I liked the voice of Loren. Half the book is in her voice and half is in Kilix's voice but there are many other characters in the book and they all have different voices. Big job!! Talented reader!
Any additional comments?
I gave this book a 5 star rating because one I loved it and two the author and narrator kept the action moving.it was nice to listen to.

The scenes of the book are set in present-day rural West Texas with events occurring in Houston and on Galveston Island.

What made the experience of listening to A Reluctant White Knight the most enjoyable?
I liked the fact that it was a good story and it was about an older adult still having an adventure in life.
Any additional comments?
I gave this book a 5 star review because the subject was older adults and they were not reminiscing about how great their lives were but how great they were going to be. I also liked the narration. Joshua Bennington gave each character his own voice and there fore his own personality.

Story3.5 out of 5 stars 24
The focus of this selection concerns both the Federal and Confederate efforts to disable or maintain the railroads within the active theaters of the war. Real railroads of iron and steam and ribbons of steel vanishing into the horizon quickly became a strategic objective of both armies in the Civil War. Raiders and protectors were deployed both North and South. The damage inflicted on roadways and rolling stock was not always easy to accomplish.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 27
Jason and Vanessa are back with a new case, and this one pushes them to the limit. Clues are being left at the scene of the homicides but they can't figure out the meaning. Frustration mounts, as does the number of victims, but the detectives won't give up. Will they figure it out too late, or are they smarter than the killer gives them credit for.

A BLOODY DETECTIVE STORY
Reviewed: 08-28-15
Would you listen to Cruel Deception again? Why?
I would listen to "Cruel Deception" again and have it on my best audio books list.
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
Most of the time the story line kept me from turning the story off, I always wanted to hear what was next.
What does Joshua Bennington bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Joshua Bennington's voice reminds me of the men telling stories over the radio I heard as a child. The old mystery/detective stories. The only thing that is missing is the music.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
The killing were a little messy. But make you want Detective Strong to get the guy even more.
Any additional comments?
I gave this audio book a 5 star review as well as the other book by John Dalglish I listened too because of the performance of the narrator Joshua Bennington. He made the book for me.

Reviewed: 08-28-15
Would you consider the audio edition of Lethal Injection to be better than the print version?
The audio book gave me a more vivid picture of the characters in my mind. I could almost see them. And the narrator gave the story a mystery feeling.
What other book might you compare Lethal Injection to and why?
I liked some of his other books as well. Like "Cruel Deception". Basically the same type of story. I always like who done it.s.
Any additional comments?
I gave this audio book a 5 star review because the narrator was so talented. He gave the book the same feeling I got from hearing the mystery stories over the radio as a child. Brought back memories.
