    A visionary and optimistic thinker examines the tension between privacy and publicness that is transforming how we form communities, create identities, do business, and live our lives. The Internet, he argues, will change business, society, and life as profoundly as Gutenberg’s invention, shifting power from old institutions to us all.

    Howard says: "Very thought provoking-worth a 2nd or 3rd listen."
    "Salesman for Social Media"

    Any additional comments?

    The author spent too much time both praising Facebook and defending Facebook's darker side. The book quickly began to sound like a sales pitch for Big Brother, Social Media, and Facebook in particular.

Universally reviled, thrown into prison, Wolf retreats into silence. Seven years later Wolf begins to talk to the prison psychiatrist and receives parole to return home. But there's a mysterious period in Wolf's past when he was known as the Woodcutter. Now the Woodcutter is back, looking for truth and revenge...

    If you could sum up The Woodcutter in three words, what would they be?

    a page turner


    Have you listened to any of Jonathan Keeble’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    This is my first Keeble book but now I want to hear more.


    If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

    expect the unexpected


    Any additional comments?

    Author Reginald Hill and narrator Jonathan Keeble make a great team. They remind me of the great pairing of Stephen King and Frank Muller.
