    The Dead Path tells the gripping story of a broken man, Nicholas Close. A terrible accident has left him a widower and awoken in him the ability to see the dead. Now, he can’t escape visions of tortured spirits, their last moments caught in horrible, endlessly replaying loops. Nicholas leaves London and returns to Australia, where he is disturbed to see that a heavily treed tract of land in his childhood suburb has somehow escaped development.

    Story

    I don't understand the negative critics, it might not be the kind of book that everyone loves, but it definitely is a great book, I am hoping for a sequel. As for adjusting to the accent (???) come on...there is absolutely no problem with the accent, the reader speaks clearly and is very easy to understand.

    I highly recommend this book as it has lots of twists and turns and the end is very interesting.

    When hunters from around the world gather in Las Vegas for a conference, a creature left over from a World War Two weapons experiment wakes up and goes on a rampage across the desert. A not-so-friendly wager between the rival companies turns into a race to see who can bag the mysterious creature first. Only there is far more to this particular case than meets the eye, and as Hunters fall prey to their worst nightmares, Owen Zastava Pitt and the staff of Monster Hunter International have to stop an ancient god from turning Sin City into a literal hell on earth.

    Lots of good old fashion violence and explosions.
    When getting one of the Monster Hunter books you know it's not Shakespeare, what is is though is great fun and wonderful battles from start to end.

    I wish the books were longer but can't wait for the next one to come out.

    Story

    I have a theory that the author has major mommy issues and was probably a drag queen.

    Man oh man, all of this "men are so stupid" and "women are strange" crap is REALLY getting on my nerves, I mean, we KNOW you've said it at least 100 times per book so far, we get it, your mommy didn't breast feed you..it's ok get over it (I know he is dead), and why oh why does he go on and on about the "colour and texture of the lace on the green silk low cut neckline dress" blah blah blah...this book could have been at least 10 hours shorter and it would still have been long at times.
    I will finish the series because I have read 6 so far and the story is good, but if the next one is as slow as this one I will give up.

    Atticus O’Sullivan, last of the Druids, lives peacefully in Arizona, running an occult bookshop and shape-shifting in his spare time to hunt with his Irish wolfhound. His neighbors and customers think that this handsome, tattooed Irish dude is about twenty-one years old - when in actuality, he’s twenty-one centuries old. Not to mention: He draws his power from the earth, possesses a sharp wit, and wields an even sharper magical sword known as Fragarach, the Answerer. Unfortunately, a very angry Celtic god wants that sword, and he’s hounded Atticus for centuries....

    In 1989 Ken Follett astonished the literary world with The Pillars of the Earth, set in 12th-century England. Readers and listeners ever since have hoped for a sequel. At last, here it is. Although the two novels may be listened to in any order, World Without End also takes place in Kingsbridge, two centuries after the townspeople finished building their exquisite Gothic cathedral. The cathedral is again at the center of a web of love and hate, greed and pride, ambition and revenge.

    Story

    This book is very well written and takes you to 14th century England very well.
    BUT the same people seem to get a disaster every other page and it just keeps coming, it gets to the point where I went...oh come on..again???
    The evil people seem to be invincible and get away with everything and the poor people get shafted at every turn, I know that 14th century England was not very fair, but it's just too much at one point.
    In any case, I enjoyed the book but will think twice before listening to another of his books.
    John Lee is his usual fantastic self and makes the story flow with his flawless reading.

    Libby Day was seven when her mother and two sisters were murdered in "The Satan Sacrifice of Kinnakee, Kansas". As her family lay dying, little Libby fled their tiny farmhouse into the freezing January snow. She lost some fingers and toes, but she survived, and famously testified that her 15-year-old brother, Ben, was the killer. Twenty-five years later, Ben sits in prison, and troubled Libby lives off the dregs of a trust created by well-wishers who've long forgotten her.

    Story

    There is a creepy slow atmosphere to this book, and it seems, reading the reviews for her 1st book that this is a trait of this writer.
    At first I was always hoping that one of the characters would get up and actually DO something instead of being the victims all the time,but as the story evolved, I learned to just let it be and enjoy the story.
    I think that the reader does a great job of being Libby with a slow and tired voice which fits in with the character.
    I recommend this book very highly.

    Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned to deliver an evening lecture in the U.S. Capitol. Within minutes of his arrival, the night takes a bizarre turn. A disturbing object is discovered in the Capitol Building. The object is an ancient invitation, meant to usher its recipient into a long-lost world of hidden esoteric wisdom. And when Langdon's mentor is kidnapped, Langdon's only hope of saving him is to accept this invitation and follow wherever it leads him.

    Seriously, it really looks like Dan Brown is just trying to fill some pages with mindless and BORING religious and ancient crap that goes nowhere and doesn't add much to the story which itself is not that good.

    By far the weakest of his books so far, we are very very far from Digital Fortress and DaVinci Code in terms of nail biting stories.

    Richard Mayhew is an unassuming young businessman living in London, with a dull job and a pretty but shrewish fiancée. Then one night he stumbles upon a girl lying on the sidewalk, bleeding. He stops to help her, and his life is changed forever. Soon he finds himself living in a London most people would never have dreamed of: a city of monsters and saints, murderers and angels. It is a world that exists entirely in a subterranean labyrinth of sewer canals and abandoned subway stations.

    Story

    This story almost makes you see the London underground and smell the decay.
    The author is great at conveying a mood and created some great characters.
    A couple of times I did get frustrated at how stupid the main character was, but the story got me caught up just as quickly.
    The only other thing that was so so was the the main character's quest to get the key...it's almost as if the author really didn't have a clue as to what to write and created a very lame quest indeed.
    I would definitely recommend this book if you enjoy the dark Victorian style stories as i do.

    Narration was top notch even though it was funny to hear Saul Reichlin trying to do the high pitch voice of the blond giant : )

    In today's high-octane business world, you need all the advantages you can get. Success isn't just about making the right decisions or adopting smart strategies. Success also depends on knowing what's going on around you. As a business leader, imagine if you could almost always tell when people were lying to you, or if you could successfully persuade colleagues, workers, or bosses to always go along with your ideas. The truth is, you can.

    Please hire a professional to read the text next time you write a book, it's very irritating to have to listen to someone that has a poor reading voice for a whole book.
