Former US Marine Jess Winslow reenters civilian life a new widow, with little more to her name than a falling-down house, a medical discharge for PTSD, and a loyal dog named Lucy. The only thing she actually cares about is that dog, a pit bull mix who helps her cope with the devastating memories of her time in Afghanistan. After 15 years - nearly half his life - in state prison, Mason Burke owns one set of clothes, a wallet, and a photo of Lucy, the service dog he trained while behind bars. Seeking a fresh start, he sets out for Deception Cove, Washington, where the dog now lives.

predictable but decent
Revisado: 07-24-21
Above average prose was the highlight of this novel for me. storyline was acceptable but the character development was terrible. There was no change, no growth in any of them. it just felt stagnant.

One fateful day in 1996, after discovering that five freight cars' worth of glittering corn have reaped a tiny profit of $18.16, young Forrest Pritchard vows to save his family's farm. What ensues-through hilarious encounters with all manner of livestock and colorful local characters-is a crash course in sustainable agriculture. Pritchard's biggest ally is his renegade father, who initially questions his son's career choice and rejects organic foods for sugary mainstream fare.

Engrossing, poignant and funny

A fabulous book and narrator! Pritchard's writing pulls you in and Wayne's narration complements the story perfectly. I laughed out loud at many parts, commiserated with Pritchard in others, and shed a few tears as well. An enjoyable story for aspiring farmers and folks who enjoy good, clean, local food.

When a high-ranking officer gallops into the quiet Mistyvales, he brings a warning that shakes the countryfolk to their roots. But for Aedan, a scruffy young adventurer with veins full of fire and a head full of ideas, this officer is not what he seems. The events that follow propel Aedan on a journey that only the foolhardy or desperate would risk, leading him to the gates of the nation's royal academy - a whole world of secrets in itself. But this is only the beginning of his discoveries.

Months after a super-EMP attack devastated the United States, the country is now unrecognizable. Major cities are run by gangs, survivors are dying of starvation and the government is falling victim to lawlessness. Those who were prepared for the end find that they weren't really prepared at all. While some seek vengeance for their losses, others are determined to restore the nation. Gordon, Samantha, Sebastian, Barone, Connor and Pablo are all on different paths, but they are all in search of a home away from chaos.

Worst narrator EVER!
Revisado: 02-26-15
Would you listen to Sanctuary again? Why?
No. This narrator has completely ruined the story. I was so looking forward to book 3 and was disappointed to see that Joseph Morton had been replaced by this clown. I have fast-forwarded over quite a few parts, esp. those where Pablo and his minion Pasqual, a.k.a. Speedy Gonzalez, are speaking. Szarabjka's accents are utterly ridiculous and so overly-dramatic that he lends a comical feel to the story. He does 12-year-old Brandon's voice with a ridiculous southern accent and he sounds like an adult who smokes a pack a day. Half of Connor's staff are now from Boston, apparently, and their accents are so annoying they are difficult to listen to and take seriously. Pablo's accent is so overly done it's just stupid. We get that he's from Mexico...
What was one of the most memorable moments of Sanctuary?
The narrator's horrible impressions when voicing the quotes at the beginning of each chapter. Particularly horrible was Winston Churchill. I literally LOL'd. Why is that even necessary?
How could the performance have been better?
Someone should tell Szarabjka that people from Southern California do NOT have southern accents. Neither do native Idahoans, so unless everyone in Eagle, Idaho (Mac, Scott, Truman, his entire group, etc.) came from Texas or Alabama he's way off. He does about 1/3 of the characters with southern accents, 1/3 with Boston accents, and the other 1/3 with a regular west coast accent, sometimes with tinges of southern and Boston thrown in for good measure.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Laugh. The narrator is that bad.
Any additional comments?
I will not buy book 4 if this narrator is used. Joseph Morton should re-do this book and be hired for book 4.
