Historia
Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it’s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.

Not my normal read, but so glad I listened.

I’m in my sixties, and I was in school and entering the workforce just as the environment for women began to change. I could relate so well to the frustration and anger of the main character. Young women should read this book to see how much they stand to lose as rights are taken away and we backslide into the attitudes of the past. Religious fanatics should pass on this one, you won’t be able to relate.

Historia
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Who knew? I had planned to save this book for a road trip later this week, but decided to listen to the first chapter. Big mistake. I couldn’t stop listening and I loved every minute of it. The characters are clever, funny, and in some cases, quite rude. Loved this book.

Historia
Lizbeth Rose is awaiting the arrival of her sister Felicia and her husband’s younger brother Eli in Texcoma. Both needed to leave the seat of the Holy Russian Empire in San Diego after Felicia’s burgeoning wizardly power in death magic became the reason for kidnapping and assassination attempts from her mother’s family of high-powered wizards in Mexico. Yet bad news has traveled ahead of them, as Eli is called back to San Diego, taking Peter along with him, splitting them apart in more ways than one as their enemies’ plans for revenge come to fruition.

Normally a big fan, but..
Revisado: 09-13-23
This audiobook fell flat with me. It read a bit like a television episode, where just enough drama happens to justify the story. This seems to be such a trend in science fiction and I hope it doesn’t become the norm for CH.

Historia
Harry Potter has never even heard of Hogwarts when the letters start dropping on the doormat at number four, Privet Drive. Addressed in green ink on yellowish parchment with a purple seal, they are swiftly confiscated by his grisly aunt and uncle. Then, on Harry's eleventh birthday, a great beetle-eyed giant of a man called Rubeus Hagrid bursts in with some astonishing news: Harry Potter is a wizard, and he has a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. An incredible adventure is about to begin!

Best purchase ever
Revisado: 11-10-21
I originally purchased this book on CD when it was released. My daughter (now 27) and I listened when we travelled in the car. I have since purchased all the audiobooks through Audible and consider them the best value since they are regularly used. Jim Dale is an amazing narrator and he brings the books to life.

Clever name for the AI 🙄
Revisado: 03-09-21
The name of the AI gave my home system a nervous breakdown. I had to use headphones even though I’m the only one in the house. Other than that, I enjoyed the story and the narration was superb as expected.

Where is the rest of the book?
Revisado: 07-03-19
This book has an extremely awkward ending. I have no doubt that the next book in the series will pick up the story line, but the author really should have ended this one better.

I found this book after listening to a Pod Save the World podcast where the author was interviewed by Tommy Vietor. The story is interesting, frightening, and detailed without being sensationalized.

Historia
The year is 1876. Warring Indian tribes still populate America's western territories, even as lawless gold-rush towns begin to mark the landscape. In much of the country, it is still illegal to espouse evolution. Against this backdrop two monomaniacal paleontologists pillage the Wild West, hunting for dinosaur fossils while surveilling, deceiving, and sabotaging each other in a rivalry that will come to be known as the Bone Wars.

Narration does not fit -- overdone
Revisado: 06-12-17
If you could sum up Dragon Teeth in three words, what would they be?
1. Interesting 2. Unpredictable 2. Historical
What three words best describe Scott Brick and Sherri Crichton ’s performance?
Scott Brick
1. Overused
2. Overdone
3. Unvaried - the same narration for every single book........
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Interesting and inventive, as all M. Crichton books are. I'm just so tired of Scott Brick as a narrator, it ruined the book for me.

Interesting story
Revisado: 06-24-15
I enjoyed the story very much. The narrator mispronounced a number of words, or she pronounced the words quite differently than I expected. This was a bit of a distraction, as I tended to get stuck thinking about the how the word was pronounced rather than what was happening in the story.
