We are always excited to hear that John Grisham has written a new book so it is pre-ordered and we are eager for it to be available. We are never disappointed. The judges list is a stellar adventure into the legal world and how justice is served by the dedication of one woman. Read it today.

John Lewis Tells His Amazing Story

Revisado: 02-19-21

John Lewis grew up the son of poor sharecroppers. He managed to get an education and connect with Martin Luther King and other icons of the civil rights movement in the 1950s 60s and 70s.

He remained peaceful in the midst of beatings that threatened his life. He reaches out to his adversaries during civil rights demonstrations and now as a congressman with love. His commitment spiritually to peace, nonviolent protest and genuinely loving even his adversaries is truly amazing to be hold.

The story is much more powerful because it is John Lewis telling his own story himself. He is late in life at the time of the writing and able to relate the entirety of his life to the circumstances we find ourselves in now in America.

The casting for the narrator of this book was perfect. If I didn’t know better I would think it was Lewis himself speaking.

This book would be important for any American and anybody in any part of the world interested in improving a country or the entire world through Protest.

Oh sweet book that goes nowhere

Revisado: 05-24-20

This book is basically a well written essay. Keep waiting for something to happen, something unique, something exciting it's like a Hallmark card which should be exchanged.

The mess!

Revisado: 07-29-19

A story with no purpose. Useless waste of time, especially for those of us hoping that things will get better near the end, but it doesn’t. It is still a waste of time. Repetition is rampant. How many times can you have your character sit in the corner of the kitchen on the floor or under her desk hugging her children for some nonexistent intrusion. The narrator is the only positive part of this audible and I suggest she find another story to narrate the next time.

Sweet and awesome

Revisado: 07-20-19

It starts out slow but eventually becomes an endearing story of WW ll with the bravery of the people of Italy. Love blooms, the food description s are mouth watering. Worth a summer read / listen. On to more by Rhys Bowen.

Very sad and strange

Revisado: 07-06-19

This is a very odd book and not in a good way. I had listened to the sample but had no idea it was going to be so random and so sad. Would love to have the money back if I could return it.

A work of brilliance

Revisado: 06-20-19

I wasn’t sure what to find when I bought this audiobook. I figured it as a good summer read when I listened to the sample. I was drawn into the story and the wisdom by the words and the exquisite voices of the narration. I think I would call this a chick book because I cannot imagine a man actually understanding the complexity of what happens to this family, to these wonderfully strong women, over the course of a lifetime. If this were a book I would call it a page turner but I have listened to all the pages like a marathon because I could not bear missing out on what would come next. Treat yourself to this marvelous work of literature. I will eagerly follow this author.

A decent story with too many words.

Revisado: 06-17-19

The plot is reasonable and the narration is fine, just fine. I think the author wrote too many words, words to Philippines, descriptions that just are unnecessary to support the plot. Segues from one scene or chapter to another are filled with descriptions that just take up time and space. I feel the book needs editing but overall a decent story.

Powerful Story Resonates with America’s Corrupt and Treasonous Leaders

Revisado: 12-31-18

Another amazing story. A solitary FBI agent follows a missing person case until a plot to fake a pretext to start a war is discovered. Russians, N Koreans and American black ops are cast in fictional but all too familiar immoral roles we read about every day.

Brilliant writing and narration.

Hitchcock has a rival

Revisado: 06-30-18

Hitchcock has a rival in this wonderful, intense story. I know this will become a fantastic movie at some point in the future. Since this is a first work, Finn has created a successful foundation for psychological thrillers, so stand in line for his next masterpiece. The partnership with an Oscar-worthy performance by narrator Ann Marie Lee will draw and maintain audiences for a lifetime. Thank you for sharing your gift.
