Story4.5 out of 5 stars 31
A newborn dragon is forced to come to terms with his reality: his body is not made of flesh and blood—but of ice cream. No fate is worse than being a failure before birth. His future holds endless troubles and dangers—wild animals, greedy humans, and ancient secrets. What can a small mutated hatchling do? He must grow stronger.

okay, this story is great. the concept seems silly, but if you like monster evolution, you will love this. It has some editing issues, some grammar mistakes are apparent even in this audiobook, but the story is super enjoyable. it takes itself surprisingly seriously and equally a surprising that works for it. minute comes to monster evolution this story should be up there with Chrysalis. is it the best progression fantasy story I've ever seen, no.
is it one of the most interesting unique and fun monster evolution stories ever seen with an equally interesting and unique world, and I intelligent man character who uses its disadvantages to its Advantage when possible and works past them when it can't. absolutely yes
give this one a try I promise you you will not regret it.

Story5 out of 5 stars 1,568
If there's one thing seventeen-year-old Maverick Carter knows, it's that a real man takes care of his family. As the son of a former gang legend, Mav does that the only way he knows how: dealing for the King Lords. With this money he can help his mom, who works two jobs while his dad's in prison. Life's not perfect, but with a fly girlfriend and a cousin who always has his back, Mav's got everything under control. Until, that is, Maverick finds out he's a father. But it's not so easy to sling dope, finish school, and raise a child.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 157
Picture rippling muscles, clad in magical armor, perhaps, artfully splattered with the viscera of foes smote in twain. Or...ooh...alternatively, a severely tasteful robe, dusted - equally artfully - with the ashes of enemies immolated with eldritch fyre. Now picture these paragons of heroism sitting astride their muscled warhorses, surrounded by the cheering, garland-throwing peasants of a hamlet they have saved from the blight. Now, throw that image out, because this isn’t that story.

This book does well in all departments. Character interaction, story, humor, even the magic system. It effectively does an RPG style story without any need for level screens for stats.

Bryan Stevenson was a young lawyer when he founded the Equal Justice Initiative, a legal practice dedicated to defending those most desperate and in need: the poor, the wrongly condemned, and women and children trapped in the farthest reaches of our criminal justice system. One of his first cases was that of Walter McMillian, a young man who was sentenced to die for a notorious murder he insisted he didn’t commit. The case drew Bryan into a tangle of conspiracy, political machination, and legal brinksmanship—and transformed his understanding of mercy and justice forever.

I am so very proud to have been able to listen to this program. Bryan Stevenson is a true American Hero period he makes the practice of law and honorable profession. he truly exemplifies what a lawyer in the United States should be in should do. if I could be half the lawyer that he is and was during the stories in this book I would be truly proud of my career. Thank you mr. Stevenson for all that you have done period and thank you even more for this book.
