    From the voice of a generation: the most highly anticipated autobiography of the year, and the story of a man who wanted The Who to be called The Hair; wanted to be a sculptor, a journalist, a dancer and a graphic designer; became a musician, composer, librettist, fiction writer, literary editor, sailor; drank too much and nearly died; detached from his body in an airplane, on LSD, and nearly died; planned to write his memoir when he was 21; and published this book at 67.

    Where does Who I Am rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    This book ranks somewhere in the middle of the pack.


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Who I Am?

    When the original drummer had to be asked to step down.


    Which scene was your favorite?

    Any scene involving Keith Moon


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    I was surprised at the honesty. Pete showed himself as completely wacked out at times and then he was a compassionate human being at other times.


    Any additional comments?

    Who fan my whole life and found this book a real treat. Any fan of the rock and roll 60's/70's will get a kick out of this book. Pete not so much reads the book but he tells his story like he's sitting and talking just to the listener.

    As dusk approaches a small Dublin suburb in the summer of 1984, mothers begin to call their children home. But on this warm evening, three children do not return from the dark and silent woods. When the police arrive, they find only one of the children, unable to recall a single detail of the previous hours.

    Twenty years later, the found boy, Rob Ryan, is a detective on the Dublin Murder Squad and keeps his past a secret. But when a 12-year-old girl is found murdered in the same woods, he and Detective Cassie Maddox find themselves investigating a case chillingly similar to the previous unsolved mystery.

    What did you like best about In the Woods? What did you like least?

    The overall setting and story.
    I didn't like how the killer of a child gets painted in a sympathetic light.


    If you’ve listened to books by Tana French before, how does this one compare?

    First time.


    What do you think the narrator could have done better?

    Narrator's words faded at the end of each sentence. Starts at a normal volume and ends in a whisper.


    Did In the Woods inspire you to do anything?

    Try another Tana French book. The reviews are good for this series I figure it must be me.

    Why we think it’s a great listen: For 20 years, John Irving believed that his ambitious novel could never be adequately executed in audio – and then he met narrator Joe Barrett.... In the summer of 1953, two 11-year-old boys - best friends - are playing in a Little League baseball game in Gravesend, New Hampshire. One of the boys hits a foul ball that kills the other boy's mother. The boy who hits the ball doesn't believe in accidents; Owen Meany believes he is God's instrument.

    Story
    What made the experience of listening to A Prayer for Owen Meany the most enjoyable?

    Joe Barrett has made this story his own to tell and he tells it with passion. Very believable. John Irving detailed each character in such detail that when the character came up later in the story I had a sharp mental picture. This made the story very easy to follow.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    Pastor Merrill, I think, because he represents a true human emotion. All was well because he thought it to be so until confronted with the truth. He is a bit of an ostrich. Head in the sand.


    What about Joe Barrett’s performance did you like?

    "Why it's Johnny Wheelwright!"
    His emotion in the final sentence, "Oh God, please give him back. I shall keep asking you."


    Any additional comments?

    Take a chance on this book. You'll be glad you did.

    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 did you love best about 11-22-63?

    The effects of tinkering with the past to effect the future.


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

    No


    Any additional comments?

    The third part of this story seemed to go on forever and I felt it took away from the story as a whole. The ending was a bit of a surprise and I enjoyed that. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was interesting to have fiction that is based on true history.
