American Sailor Kurt Reid is a hothead and a hard case - a man who hits first and asks questions later. Scrappy and rough around the edges, it’s no wonder that when the ship’s captain turns up dead, it’s Reid who takes the rap. Falsely accused and under the gun, Reid jumps ship and vanishes into Shanghai - only to get caught in a web of intrigue, betrayal, and murder. In a world where nothing is what it seems and everything is for sale, he’s soon out of his depth, drawn into a spy game in which the winner takes all...and the loser takes a knife to the back.

Worst performance I’ve ever suffered through. Accents were over the top awful (Chinese, Japanese and Russian people should be deeply offended). Story was pretty lame as well. Don’t waste your time.

Extremely fun listen
Reviewed: 05-09-07
The only con I can mention is that it wasn't longer! If you're a dog lover, you will thoroughly enjoy this book and likely identify with some of the stories and personalities. At times laugh out loud funny and at other times tender and touching, this book is a pure joy to listen to (and John's narration is top-notch!).

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 857
Nonny Frett understands the meanings of "rock" and "hard place" better than any woman ever born. She's got two mothers, "one deaf-blind and the other four baby steps from flat crazy". She's got two men: her husband, who's easing out the back door; and her best friend, who's laying siege to her heart in her front yard. She has a job that holds her in the city, and she's addicted to a little girl who's stuck deep in the country.

Well crafted, engrossing story
Reviewed: 01-17-07
If you liked "Gods in Alabama" you'll love "Between, Georgia". Once again, the characters are so well developed, you really feel you know them. The story is engrossing and the humor is sharp and thoroughly enjoyable. The author does a superb job narrating (her voice for the character of Bernice is reminiscent of Vicki Lawrence doing Momma on Carol Burnett!). The story will draw you in right from the start and, like all good books, you'll hate when it finally draws to its satisfying close. Two thumbs up! I anxiously await the next yarn from this talented author.

When Arlene Fleet heads up north for college, she makes three promises to God: She will stop fornicating with every boy who crosses her path; never tell another lie; and never, ever go back to the "fourth rack of hell", her hometown of Possett, Alabama. All she wants from Him is one little miracle: make sure the body is never found.

Reviewed: 06-21-06
This was one of the most enjoyable stories I've listened to in awhile. The narrator was so perfect for this book and really brought it alive. The characters were interesting and the storyline compelling. A good mix of humor, intrigue and drama. One of only a few books I'd consider listening to a second time around.

Why we think it’s a great listen: Never before has an author’s narration of his fiction been so important to fully grasping the book’s impact and global implications. Taking us from Afghanistan in the final days of its monarchy to the present, The Kite Runner is the unforgettable story of the friendship between two boys growing up in Kabul. Their intertwined lives, and their fates, reflect the eventual tragedy of the world around them.

A must-read
Reviewed: 06-21-06
This is an incredible story that pulls you in from the beginning and never lets go. Narrated in the 1st person, and against a historical background of Afghanistan, you have to keep reminding yourself it's a novel, not an amazing and touching autobiography. Excellent story, well-narrated...one of those books you hate for it to end!

Disappointing
Reviewed: 05-28-04
Interesting plot, but bad writing, bad theology and implausible scenes rank this low on my list of good reads. The author comes off like a bad soap opera or cheap romance novel whenever he tries to make some 'chemistry' between his characters...really bad! The ending was so unbelievable, it makes Hollywood's ridiculous action movies seem plausible. Dan's writing also comes off pretty amateur.
The most damaging, however, is his insistence that what he declares in his books are fact, when in truth, they are heretical fiction.
Sad.

While in Paris, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is awakened by a phone call in the dead of the night. The elderly curator of the Louvre has been murdered inside the museum, his body covered in baffling symbols. As Langdon and gifted French cryptologist Sophie Neveu sort through the bizarre riddles, they are stunned to discover a trail of clues hidden in the works of Leonardo da Vinci—clues visible for all to see and yet ingeniously disguised by the painter.

Heresy told poorly
Reviewed: 05-28-04
While the story was somewhat interesting from a whodunnit/mystery standpoint, the religious implications he raises are laughable. Unfortunately, many people will take them as fact, which is highly regrettable.
The author, as with his book, "Angels & Demons", writes an interesting story, but does not write well. The 'romantic' parts come off like a bad soap opera and many scenes are just too unrealistic.

If you are driving, pull over. If you are at work, close your door, unless you don't mind your colleagues seeing you doubled over, in tears, on your office floor. With this recording, taped before a delirious sold out audience at Carnegie Hall, you are there as David Sedaris performs new stories from his upcoming book. A parrot who mimics an ice maker, lovers quarreling over a rubber hand, and a Santa Claus who moonlights from his job as bishop of Turkey, the cast of characters is like no other.

Very good, but fell flat at the end
Reviewed: 01-24-04
Although it took a little while to get fully into this book (and get used to Jack as an adult), I became just as immersed as with the Talisman. As usual, Stephen King allows you to really 'know' the characters and the story line was very cool. HOWEVER, the ending fell flat...it was as if the authors got tired and wanted to wrap things up. Not nearly as good as the Talisman. An excellent book with a disappointing finish.
