I listen while driving. I have a long drive to work full of distractions. They better be good

    In a pulls-no-punches essay intended to provoke rational discussion, Stephen King sets down his thoughts about gun violence in America. Anger and grief in the wake of the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School are palpable in this urgent piece of writing, but no less remarkable are King's keen thoughtfulness and composure as he explores the contours of the gun-control issue and constructs his argument for what can and should be done.

    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

    It is good to hear an opinion expressed this clearly on suck a pivotal issue.


    Which scene was your favorite?

    When he talks about pulling the novel Rage. I also enjoyed the rant about everyone just waiting to speak- not listening- priceless.


    What’s the most interesting tidbit you’ve picked up from this book?

    How uncompromising we Americans really are.

    Why we think it’s a great listen: A performance so poignant, we gave Bronson Pinchot (yes, Balki from Perfect Strangers) our inaugural Narrator of the Year award.... In the monsoon season of 1968-69 at a fire support base called Matterhorn, located in the remote mountains of Vietnam, a young and ambitious Marine lieutenant wants to command a company to further his civilian political ambitions. But two people stand in his way.

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

    It would have been nice to skip past all the enlisted rank and command information in the beginning. Not really safe to do driving.


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Matterhorn?

    The eight days without food. The conditions and madness endured throughout the book.


    What about Bronson Pinchot’s performance did you like?

    Good changing voice.


    Any additional comments?

    A couple of small hiccups. The general delivery was great. Sometimes a little long in parts, but I didn't have a problem finishing it. Not a happy book, but it was a good one.

    Why we think it’s a great listen: If you’ve ever loved a dog - or even patted a dog - this book, told from the perspective of man’s best friend, will tug at your heartstrings...and won’t let go until long after Welch performs the last word. Enzo knows he is different from other dogs: a philosopher with a nearly human soul (and an obsession with opposable thumbs), he has educated himself by watching television extensively and by listening very closely to the words of his master.

    Lora says: "Enzo (because he's so wize) for president."
    "Heart warming"

    Story
    What made the experience of listening to The Art of Racing in the Rain the most enjoyable?

    The story was heart warming. It was really funny at parts, and had some dark turns. Not an intellectual book, but it was a highly entertaining one.


    What does Christopher Evan Welch bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    Great tone of voice.


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

    I loved the dogs theories. The ending was great.


    Any additional comments?

    Easy enough to listen to while driving, but I couldn't leave it in the car. I blazed through this one.

    Many consider this rich social commentary to be Jane Austen's finest novel. It is certainly among her more famous ones. Austen sets her entertaining study of manners and misconceptions against the backdrop of a class-conscious society in 18th-century England.

    Is there anything you would change about this book?

    I found the accent distracting. I had to concentrate too much to follow the story.


    Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Flo Gibson?

    A snotty sounding American.


    Any additional comments?

    I have no doubt in the story. I just couldn't force myself to listen to it. Maybe its because I listen while I drive to work. I just couldn't follow it
