The Holy Thief is the remarkable memoir of an amazing man. It is a true-life gangster story, a passionate love story, and a case of study in redemption. Regardless of your faith, you will find his story tragic, funny, uplifting, and inspirational.

Definitely worth listening to. Incredible story. Only objection is mispronunciation of Hebrew words by reader.

I was hooked from the beginning to the end of this compelling but sad story. This is worth your time to listen regardless of whether you were a fan of Kasey Kasem’s America’s Top 40.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book though I’m not sure I have empathy for the author/narrator nor do I totally understand how group helped her overcome her issues.

This is a fascinating story and gave proper credit to Rosalind Franklin’s incredible contributions to the understanding of DNA. The writing, production and actors were excellent.

If any artist could brag about his contribution to the pop culture canon, it’s Smokey Robinson. His career is filled with so many “he was there” moments it’s a wonder he doesn’t recall them with the swagger of a conquering hero: songwriting and singing as a teenager in Detroit; co-founding Motown Records with Berry Gordy; creating 26 Top 40 hits with his group The Miracles; helping to spark racial integration of popular music in the 1960s; discovering hitmakers like Diana Ross and the Supremes; penning tunes for a jaw-droppingly diverse group of artists.

This a delightful personal story told by Smokey Robinson in his words and songs. It’s as if he is sitting down with you in your kitchen, reminiscing about his life.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 4,383
Half-Korean, half-Japanese, Masaji Ishikawa has spent his whole life feeling like a man without a country. This feeling only deepened when his family moved from Japan to North Korea when Ishikawa was just thirteen years old, and unwittingly became members of the lowest social caste. His father, himself a Korean national, was lured to the new Communist country by promises of abundant work, education for his children, and a higher station in society. But the reality of their new life was far from utopian.

Where does A River in Darkness rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Thought this memoir was terrific. Learned a great deal about life in Korea. Very timely.
