    Winner of the prestigious Man Booker prize for fiction. In the ruthless arena of King Henry VIII's court, only one man dares to gamble his life to win the king's favor and ascend to the heights of political powerEngland in the 1520s is a heartbeat from disaster. If the king dies without a male heir, the country could be destroyed by civil war. Henry VIII wants to annul his marriage of twenty years, and marry Anne Boleyn.

    Story

    This book is great! An old story told in the clever perspective of Thomas Cromwell. As great as the book is it doesn't compare with the narrator. Simon Slater is a genius. With his voices and inflections he pulls us into 16th century England as if we were living there amidst all the drama and angst.

    On November 22, 1963, three shots rang out in Dallas, President Kennedy died, and the world changed. What if you could change it back? In this brilliantly conceived tour de force, Stephen King - who has absorbed the social, political, and popular culture of his generation more imaginatively and thoroughly than any other writer - takes listeners on an incredible journey into the past and the possibility of altering it.

    What made the experience of listening to 11-22-63 the most enjoyable?

    Really loved the narration. Craig Wasson brought the characters to life. It has been awhile since I have read King. I forgot what an edge of your seat storyteller he is.


    Which character – as performed by Craig Wasson – was your favorite?

    I loved Mimi, but obviously Jake/George and Sadie were amazing. I also liked the guy and his wife who owned the pawn shop in Derry.


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    Too long for that.

    Ken Follett's World Without End was a global phenomenon, a work of grand historical sweep beloved by millions of readers and acclaimed by critics. Fall of Giants is his magnificent new historical epic. The first novel in The Century Trilogy, it follows the fates of five interrelated families - American, German, Russian, English, and Welsh - as they move through the world-shaking dramas of the First World War, the Russian Revolution, and the struggle for women's suffrage.

    Louis says: "Loved it and learned alot."

    Oh, I can not wait for books 2 and 3. Ken Follett weaves a great story into historical context once again with stunning results. Of course, John Lee is fabulous at giving just the right amount of inflection to distinguish characters without overacting.
