About this listen
Ein kluger Oktopus, der Menschen hilft: Das Glück hat acht Arme ist ein Roman-Geschenk.
Seit Tova Sullivan Witwe ist, putzt sie im Sowell Bay Aquarium. Ihr fällt auf, wie Marcellus, ein neugieriger, frecher Riesenoktopus, sie aus seinem Aquarium anschaut. Marcellus ist enorm klug, aber für Menschen würde er keinen Tentakel rühren – bis er sich mit Tova anfreundet. Ihm erzählt sie von ihrem Sohn, der vor Jahrzehnten verschwand. Schlau, wie er ist, erkennt Marcellus ein Geheimnis, von dem Tova nichts ahnt. Jetzt hat er alle acht Arme voll zu tun, um die Wahrheit für Tova ans Licht zu bringen – bevor es zu spät ist.
Ein wunderbar heiterer Roman über die unwahrscheinliche Freundschaft zu einem Oktopus, der Fremde zu einer Familie zusammenführt.

Story
Elizabeth Zott wird ihr Herz erobern, ganz sicher! Elizabeth Zott ist eine Frau mit dem unverkennbaren Auftreten eines Menschen, der nicht durchschnittlich ist und es nie sein wird. Doch es ist 1961, und die Frauen tragen Hemdblusenkleider und treten Gartenvereinen bei. Niemand traut ihnen zu, Chemikerin zu werden. Außer Calvin Evans, dem einsamen, brillanten Nobelpreiskandidaten, der sich ausgerechnet in Elizabeths Verstand verliebt. Aber auch 1961 geht das Leben eigene Wege. Und so findet sich eine alleinerziehende Elizabeth Zott in der TV-Show "Essen um sechs" wieder.

Der bekannte Kölner Nachrichtenmoderator Tom Monderath macht sich Sorgen um seine 84-jährige Mutter Greta, die immer mehr vergisst. Was anfangs ärgerlich für sein scheinbar so perfektes Leben ist, wird unerwartet zu einem Geschenk. Nach und nach erzählt Greta aus ihrem Leben - von ihrer Kindheit in Ostpreußen, der Flucht vor den russischen Soldaten im eisigen Winter, der Sehnsucht nach dem verschollenen Vater und ihren Erfolgen auf dem Schwarzmarkt in Heidelberg. Als Tom jedoch auf das Foto eines kleinen Mädchens mit dunkler Haut stößt, verstummt Greta.

Story
Dora ist mit ihrer kleinen Hündin aufs Land gezogen. Sie brauchte dringend einen Tapetenwechsel, mehr Freiheit, Raum zum Atmen. Aber ganz so idyllisch wie gedacht ist Bracken, das kleine Dorf im brandenburgischen Nirgendwo, nicht. In Doras Haus gibt es noch keine Möbel, der Garten gleicht einer Wildnis, und die Busverbindung in die Kreisstadt ist ein Witz. Vor allem aber verbirgt sich hinter der hohen Gartenmauer ein Nachbar, der mit kahlrasiertem Kopf und rechten Sprüchen sämtlichen Vorurteilen zu entsprechen scheint.

Story
Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them. With fewer dragons willing to bond than cadets, most would kill Violet to better their own chances of success.

Story
Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

Story
Who is Audrey Hoedemaker? It's a question her sister Maureen has heard more times than she can count, and she doesn't know what the short answer would be. Little sister, troubled teen, backpacker, musical theatre coach, con artist, childcare worker. Murderer. A tragic, traumatic childhood casts a long shadow on the Hoedemaker sisters. Maureen has worked hard to move beyond the violence of the past and build a good, honest life for herself. Audrey, however, just can't seem to do the same, careening from one state of chaos to another.

Story
Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

The 13 chapters of The Art of War, each devoted to one aspect of warfare, were compiled by the high-ranking Chinese military general, strategist, and philosopher Sun-Tzu. In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

Story
When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.

The story itself
Es ist eine positive leichte Geschichte, die den Leser in eine angenehme aber nicht kitschige Welt entführt. Ein liebevolles Buch mit einer Mischung von Realität und Träumerei. Die Vorleserin hat eine sehr angenehme Stimme und liest die unterschiedlichen Personen mit unterschiedlichen Stimmen.
Der Inhalt läßt den Leser nicht das Buch beiseite legen. Man will unbedingt das Ende erfahren. Der Stil ist auch sehr angenehm. Es ist unterhaltsam und auch spannend.
Alles in Allem sehr zu empfehlen.
Schade, daß ich es schon ausgelesen habe.
