At one time, Corrie ten Boom would have laughed at the idea that she had a story to tell. For the first 50 years of her life, nothing out of the ordinary ever happened to her. She was a spinster watchmaker living contentedly with her sister and their elderly father in the tiny house over their shop in Haarlem. Their uneventful days, as regulated as their own watches, revolved around their abiding love for one another. But with the Nazi invasion and occupation of Holland, everything changed....

Following Jane from her childhood as an orphan in Northern England through her experience as a governess at Thornfield Hall, Charlotte Brontë's Gothic classic is an early exploration of women's independence in the mid-19th century and the pervasive societal challenges women had to endure. At Thornfield, Jane meets the complex and mysterious Mr. Rochester, with whom she shares a complicated relationship that ultimately forces her to reconcile the conflicting passions of romantic love and religious piety.

The Narrator made this book come alive. It's hard to believe that a story written so long ago can still be relevant and very captivating.

In 1985, Anthony Ray Hinton was arrested and charged with two counts of capital murder in Alabama. Stunned, confused, and only 29 years old, Hinton knew that it was a case of mistaken identity and believed that the truth would prove his innocence and ultimately set him free. But with an incompetent defense attorney and a different system of justice for a poor black man in the South, Hinton was sentenced to death by electrocution. He spent his first three years on Death Row at Holman State Prison in despairing silence.

A must read
Revisado: 07-26-18
This is one of those rare books where you just want to tell everyone you know about it. I will remember this book for a very long time. It was really well written. I felt like I was in the prison with him and felt the highs and lows of each event. Ray was only able to make it through the 30 years by holding on to his faith in spite of all of the obstacles he faced. His acts of forgiveness should be a model to all. He is a true inspiration. It is a tragedy that this happened, but with this book Ray has taken an unimaginable situation and made something positive from it. This story must be shared to avoid this from ever happening again. Kudos also to the narrator. His voice was perfect for this book.

David Marquet, an experienced Navy officer, was used to giving orders. Marquet acted like any other captain until, one day, he unknowingly gave an impossible order, and his crew tried to follow it anyway. Marquet realized he was leading in a culture of followers, and they were all in danger unless they fundamentally changed the way they did things. Struggling against his own instincts to take control, he instead achieved the vastly more powerful model of giving control.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend this to anyone who likes to smile and understand how Chip and Joanna make things work for them. Maybe we can take a little of what works for them and apply it to ourselves. They are genuine and funny.

The funny and talented Chip Gaines is well known to millions of people as a TV star, renovation expert, bestselling author, husband to Joanna, and father of four in Waco, Texas. But long before the world took notice, Chip was a serial entrepreneur who was always ready for the next challenge. Whether it was buying a neighborhood laundromat or talking a bank into a loan for some equipment to start a lawn-mowing service, Chip always knew that the most important thing was to take that first step.

Any additional comments?
By watching Chip on TV and listening to this book, I got to feel like I know him. He is a down -to-earth, fun loving, hard working, respectful devoted husband and father. I love how he shares his real life stories and his faith in God. This book will make you laugh, and also motivate you to realize if he can tackle these projects, you can tackle your own projects.

In 2006, an oddball group of bankers, traders and brokers from some of the world's largest financial institutions made a startling realization: Libor - the London interbank offered rate, which determines the interest rates on trillions in loans worldwide - was set daily by a small group of easily manipulated functionaries, and that they could reap huge profits by nudging it to suit their trading portfolios.

An amazing story
Revisado: 01-27-18
What made the experience of listening to The Spider Network the most enjoyable?
knowing the story was true, and that it appeared to be well researched.
Who was your favorite character and why?
In the beginning of the book, you can't help but think Hayes was a greedy, arrogant, selfish trader. By the end of the book, you couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I couldn't listen to this book in one sitting. At times there were so many names and details it was hard to keep it straight.
Any additional comments?
This is a great story - and in some way can teach a few life lessons. What happened to Tom Hayes seems unjust compared to his colleagues and also explains why so many people distrust the banking industry. Perhaps his arrogance or autism or both prevented him from handling the investigation differently. It seems unfair that he got such a harsh penalty and his colleagues did not. It's hard to know if less detail would have taken away from some of the impact of the book - but it did get a little bogged down at times.
