    December is the time of the annual Ceremony at which each twelve-year-old receives a life assignment determined by the Elders. Jonas watches his friend Fiona named Caretaker of the Old and his cheerful pal Asher labeled the Assistant Director of Recreation. But Jonas has been chosen for something special. When his selection leads him to an unnamed man, the man called only the Giver, he begins to sense the dark secrets that underlie the fragile perfection of his world.

    This book is as good as Enders game and Snow Crash.

    Lod Airport, Israel: Two Concorde jets take off for a U.N. conference that will finally bring peace to the Middle East. Covered by F-14 fighters, accompanied by security men, the planes carry warriors, pacifists, lovers, enemies, dignitaries - and a bomb planted by a terrorist mastermind. Suddenly they're forced to crash-land at an ancient desert site. Here, with only a handful of weapons, the men and women of the peace mission must make a desperate stand against an army of crack Palestinian commandos....

    Would you consider the audio edition of By the Rivers of Babylon to be better than the print version?

    Given the hours I spend in the car a week. This is the only option.


    Any additional comments?

    Great insight into the Jewish history and Israelite DeMille does a great job on his books

    In a scrap heap within an abandoned factory, the greatest invention in history lies dormant and unused. By what fatal error of judgment has its value gone unrecognized, its brilliant inventor punished rather than rewarded for his efforts?

    Would you consider the audio edition of Atlas Shrugged to be better than the print version?

    Yes, because I am unsure if in print if I would have sat through some of the longer winded speaches.


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    It seems like the path Michigan and united states is currently on.


    Any additional comments?

    The story seems to match the economic times the United States is in and James seems as clueless as our current pres. However, what a great warning (book). Our political leaders should read this.
