    Where does John Carter in 'A Princess of Mars' rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    Pretty high. I really enjoyed it. I was amazed at how good it was given it's age


    What about Scott Brick’s performance did you like?

    He is just a fantastic reader.


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

    LOL. I think somebody already did that....


    Any additional comments?

    The book and the movie are not polar opposites, but they do tell different stories. I highly recommend the book. I was amazed that it is now 100 years old. I hope that they hire Scott Brick to read the remainder of the series. Many of the subsequent books don't have great reviews on performance.

    I wish I had known about this book series as a teenager (when I had more time to sit and read). I would have eaten them up!

    Few companies in history have ever been as successful and as admired as Google, the company that has transformed the Internet and become an indispensable part of our lives. How has Google done it? Veteran technology reporter Steven Levy was granted unprecedented access to the company, and in this revelatory book he takes listeners inside Google headquarters - the Googleplex - to explain how Google works.

    The concept of this book is intriguing. Several writers, not knowing how the book is progressing until their time to write the chapter.

    The book itself was also very good. I enjoyed listening to it.
