George Orwell depicts a gray, totalitarian world dominated by Big Brother and its vast network of agents, including the Thought Police - a world in which news is manufactured according to the authorities' will and people live tepid lives by rote. Winston Smith, a hero with no heroic qualities, longs only for truth and decency. But living in a social system in which privacy does not exist and where those with unorthodox ideas are brainwashed or put to death, he knows there is no hope for him.

eerily similar to today and it doesn't help that the Democrats are constantly changing vocabulary or inventing new words. that makes it all the more real. scary, more like a what not to do novel.

Most people know Dave Ramsey as the guy who did stupid with a lot of zeros on the end. He made his first million in his twenties—the wrong way—and then went bankrupt. That’s when he set out to learn what God had to say about managing money and building wealth. As a result, Dave developed the Ramsey Baby Steps and became a millionaire again—this time the right way. After three decades of guiding millions of others through the plan, the evidence is undeniable: the Baby Steps not only work for everyone, but they’re proven to work fast.

WHEATON WAS SPECTACULAR...STORY NOT SO MUCH
Reviewed: 09-01-21
If you I want to listen to a book that makes it sound like you're just sitting there listening to CNN or other crappy news stations, then have at it. It is full of woke checklist items. You are constantly being reminded that there's a room full of white people...CHECK...(that is actually a quote from the book.) Girls changing to boys and boys changing to girls....CHECK. Need more diversity...CHECK. Climate change....CHECK. Crap crap crap. I read fiction so I don't have to be reminded of the real crappy world. Why can't people just write good books and leave out all the political BS.

Great book but has a lot of graphic details. I did love hearing all the different actors voice their characters. I would say that I loved this book if not for all the gross graphic morbid details.

Oh what a difference a narrator makes!
- By Holly on 12-20-18
book 8 and on has narrator change
Reviewed: 07-18-21
book 1 to 7 are narrated by Aris. over time her different character voices really became entertaining. Her Thistle voice had more of an edgy snarky valley-girl tone and was great! Now comes book 8 and a NEW narrator, Hollis McCarthy. She does great in Kristen Painter's Miss Frost (Jayne Frost) series - A Nocturne Falls Mystery series. Miss Frost is an Ice Elf from the North Pole and she really sounds like an elf so it really works for those books. But unfortunately not for witches. Thistle sounds like a female dopey elf with a husky voice. It is hard to imagine Thistle as being a good-looking girl with how she sounds now. I don't want to diss on HOLLIS but there are a lot of books in this series and I used to look so forward to listening to them and now my enthusiasm is waning. Sorry but I wish Aris had done these other books too or at least Hollis try similar voices to match the personalities Aris gave them. I am bummed.
