Gulliver’s Travels (Penguin Audiobooks)

Rating: 6.0/10 (1 vote cast)

0 comments

I am certain that nearly every person in the Western world (and some beyond it) is familiar with the quintessential scene of “Gulliver’s Travels,” that of a man tied down to the ground and surrounded by tiny humans. I am equally certain however, that only a very small percentage of these people have actually read Jonathan Swift’s satirical novel, first published in 1726. If you consider yourself a serious reader, [...]

A gang of bumbling bikers have robbed the hospital’s pharmacy – accidentally killing the pharmacist while doing so – at the direction of a drug-addled hospital insider. Lucas Davenport and his crew are drawn into the investigation, and Lucas has a personal stake in the outcome as his physician wife Weather works at the hospital, and may be a witness able to identify at least one of the perps. “Storm [...]

The Minority Report and Other Stories

Philip K. Dick and Keir Dullea

Rating: 0.0/10 (0 votes cast)

You can’t compare Philip K. Dick to any other science fiction writer. About the only other author he can be fairly compared to at all is Franz Kafka – but a workingman’s Kafka, shorn of all pretension or artiness. All his heros are the same besieged everyman as K., wrestling with elusive metaphysics, impossible transformations, a cosmic bureaucracy and a dysfunctional society – but also with overdue rent bills, intrusive [...]

Lynne McTaggart delivers once again. Just as she has in her previous books “The Field”, “The Intention Experiment”, and “What Doctors Don’t Tell You”, McTaggart presents readers with a collection of research results that challenge the current scientific paradigms and offers simple solutions for finding ways to create and reestablish the bond between all of us. In “The Bond”, McTaggart provides easy access to and understanding of a vast array [...]

The Wind in the Willows

When I was very young (about six thousand years ago), our school master used to read to us from Wind in the Willows. The stories had a magical quality and a few weeks ago, as a somewhat older person, I got to wondering whether they would still have that sense of enchantment that held us so captivated all those years ago. I was NOT disappointed. Toad was just as cantankerous [...]

The Sea of Monsters (Percy Jackson) [AUDIOBOOK/AUDIO CD] [UNABRIDGED]

Rick Riordan

Rating: 0.0/10 (0 votes cast)

Rick Riordan comes through again, and this follow up to The Lightning Thief is just as entertaining, informative and action-packed as the first book. This time Percy (son of Poseidon) is at school in New York when things start to go downhill fast, beginning with some bad dreams about his friend Grover the satyr, followed by an attack by cannibalistic dodge ball players. When Annabeth (daughter of Athena) arrives on [...]

Night Road

Kristin Hannah and Kathleen McInerney

I thought the author’s writing style was very descriptive and vivid. Her tone was conversational and engaging. Night Road introduces us to a young woman named Alexa “Lexi” Baill, who was a product of a heroin addicted mother. She was in and out of various foster homes until a great-aunt named Eva Lange came to claim her. I knew this book would leave me in tears when Lexi met her [...]

The Red Pyramid (Kane Chronicles)

Going into this book I had very high expectations. After all, the Percy Jackson books are such a wonderful and unique offering in children’s literature. They are funny, witty, filled with action and adventure, they breathe life into some of my favorite myths… They are hard to top. Pretty much this book is what would happen if the 39 Clues series and Percy Jackson books had a baby. There is [...]
