I had to to read this book in school, and found it amazing. it brought back fond memories.
It is refreshing to hear the author reading his own story.
What a fascinating book and I say this book should be put in the schools for the kids of today and the future to enjoy.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 902
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times..." So begins this classic, one of the most beloved novels of all time. Charles Dickens brings the French Revolution to life through such vivid characters as Charles Darnay, the Old Doctor, Sydney Carton and Lucy Manette. The action peaks with the storming of the Bastille, the dreaded symbol of government authority. And the blade of La Guillotine falls again...

I read this book in the past, in my younger days, so I was familiar with the story.
I enjoyed the narrator and also liked the story. I had forgotten how long this wonderful story takes to read.
My compliments to Audible.com for putting this book in their library.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 43
Eleven storeys high, a sixth of a mile long and a list of passengers collectively worth 250 million dollars…On 10th April 1912 the ‘unsinkable’ Titanic left Southampton on her maiden voyage to New York. At 11.40pm on the 14th April, the Titanic collided with an iceberg and was lost. 1,500 people died in the freezing sea. Legends and stories grew and even now the whole affair still sends shivers down the spine.

I knew about this story before, but it seemed to ramble on in some parts. the narrator was a bit boring in some parts of the story. But I guess he was reading what was in front of him.

This book is Chopper's redemption. It is the real story of the man, the criminal and the prisoner, told with black humour and surprising insight.

I enjoyed this book and also the narrator did a marvellous job. It was violent in some places, but overall it kept me listening to the end to find out how thngs unfolded.
I would like to hear more stories of this type.

Jared Thomas has lived his whole life in the small mountain town of Coda, Colorado. He can't imagine living anywhere else. Unfortunately, the only other gay man in town is twice his age and used to be his teacher, so Jared is resigned to spending his life alone... until Matt Richards walks into his life, that is. Matt has just been hired by the Coda Police Department, and he and Jared immediately become friends. Matt claims he is straight, but for Jared, having a sexy friend like Matt is way too tempting.

First feelings of lust for another boy, all-night study sessions, the excitement of a student hot for a teacher...is it any wonder that college boys are the objects of fantasy the world over? Whether toweling off after a swm, lurking in the library stacks, or engaging in some male bonding at the frat house, these gorgeous undergrads are good for page-turning, arousing action.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I Had previously seen the movie but never read the book. The book covered much more and the story in some places differed from the film. I enjoyed the book much more. Some parts were a bit non family oriented, but it it was enjoyable. It would be much more interesting if infuture audible books when conversations were taking place, that other voices were heard.
