Dubliners is a collection of short stories by James Joyce that was first published in 1914. The 15 stories were meant to be a naturalistic depiction of the Irish middle-class life in and around Dublin in the early years of the 20th century. The stories were written at a time when Irish nationalism was at its peak and a search for a national identity and purpose was raging; at a crossroads of history and culture, Ireland was jolted by various converging ideas and influences.

This narrator fits Joyce's writing like a glove - really wonderful audiobook rendition. He reads with great connection and love for the material, and it comes across in the hypnotizing storytelling.

Hillbilly Elegy is a passionate and personal analysis of a culture in crisis - that of white working-class Americans. The decline of this group, a demographic of our country that has been slowly disintegrating over 40 years, has been reported on with growing frequency and alarm but has never before been written about as searingly from the inside. J. D. Vance tells the true story of what a social, regional, and class decline feels like when you were born with it hung around your neck.

In this addictive true-life whodunit, author Mardi Link details all the evidence to date in the case of the Robison family murders. She crafts her book around police and court documents and historical and present-day statements and interviews, in addition to exploring the impact of the case on the community of Good Hart and the stigma that surrounds the popular summer getaway. Adding to both the sense of tragic history and the suspense, Link laces her tale with fascinating bits of local and Indian lore.

Revisado: 08-24-16
JoBe is a pro - has been a narrator in Voiceovers for many years, and he handles this well-written text like the professional voice artist that he is. Also, the story itself is well-crafted for the genre, also written with confidence.

Anton Chekhov is widely considered one of the best short-story writers of all time. Having influenced such writers as Ernest Hemingway, Raymond Carver, and James Joyce, Chekhov’s stories are often noted for their stream-of-consciousness style and their vast number. Raymond Carver once said, “It is not only the immense number of stories he wrote - for few, if any, writers have ever done more - it is the awesome frequency with which he produced masterpieces, stories that shrive us as well as delight and move us, that lay bare our emotions in ways only true art can accomplish.”

Solid narrator, and Chekhov's not bad either!
Revisado: 08-10-16
What was most interesting to me about listening to volumes one and two of Chekhov's short stories, is how much Chekhov improved as a writer in a fairly short time frame. His early stories feel more like quick sketches, while toward the end of volume two there is more than just humor, there is depth, life.

The passionate and tragic story of Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff is one of the high points of 19th-century Romantic literature. In the relationship of Cathy and Heathcliff, and in the wild, bleak Yorkshire Moors of its setting, Wuthering Heights creates a world of its own, conceived with a disregard for convention and an instinct for poetry and the darkest depths of the human soul in torment.

While its initial stage is the entertainment industry in Los Angeles, Ms Palmer has broadened her applications to all walks of life - any situation in which the sale is important. It's not just about showmanship, it's about whole person communication. Best of all, Ms Palmer is very humane, and her writing takes on a compassionate while pragmatic perspective.

exceptional performance
Revisado: 04-27-15
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, audiobooks are all about the performance of the author's text, and in this case, Linda Kimbrough delivers a powerhouse performance of Susan Spieth's book.
Any additional comments?
Ms. Kimbrough is beautifully suited to narrate this story. Her velvety, textured voice is quite subtle, and she shows great facility in moving from character to character. If you are piqued by the topic and description of this story by Susan Spieth, you won't be disappointed by Ms. Kimbrough's vocal rendering of the text.
