    There would have been no KISS without Gene Simmons, the outrageous star whose superlong tongue, legendary sexual exploits, and demonic makeup have made him a rock icon. KISS and Make-Up is the wild, shocking, unbelievable story, from the man himself, about how an immigrant boy from Israel studied to be a rabbi, was saved by rock and roll, and became one of the most notorious rock stars the world has ever seen.

    Prosecuting attorney in the Manson trial Vincent Bugliosi held a unique insider's position in one of the most baffling and horrifying cases of the 20th century: the cold-blooded Tate-LaBianca murders carried out by Charles Manson and four of his followers. What motivated Manson in his seemingly mindless selection of victims, and what was his hold over the young women who obeyed his orders? Now available for the first time in unabridged audio, the gripping story of this famous and haunting crime is brought to life by acclaimed narrator Scott Brick.

    If you could sum up Helter Skelter in three words, what would they be?

    A true account of a mad man and his followers


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

    I could have, it was riveting, and very informative, and very easy to listen to


    Any additional comments?

    Charles Manson is a nut job, and now that there is a chance that one of his followers might be released from prison brings this book back into the spotlight, ANYONE who thinks that anyone of his "Family Members" ought to be released from prison needs to listen or read this book, it will change your mind very quickly !!!

    More than a million listeners have thrilled to Bill O'Reilly's Killing Lincoln, the can't-stop-listening work of nonfiction about the shocking assassination that changed the course of American history. Now the anchor of The O'Reilly Factor recounts in gripping detail the brutal murder of John Fitzgerald Kennedy—and how a sequence of gunshots on a Dallas afternoon not only killed a beloved president but also sent the nation into the cataclysmic division of the Vietnam War and its culture-changing aftermath.

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

    I've been obsessed with the murder of JFK, for most of my life,
    my parents were very big Kennedy supporters and lived in Washington DC at the time of the assassination, they have some very great pictures of JFK during his inauguration, his speeches around Washington, the speech he gave days before he was murdered, as well as the funeral and the original grave site .. (It was moved in 1967 a few feet away )
    Having basically grown up hearing about all of this, I've read MANY books on his presidency, as well as the assassination, this was to me one of the best, and I'm not a fan of Bill O' Reily, he did a great job on this book as well as the one on the Killing of Abraham Lincoln..


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    Not really a character book


    What about Bill O'Reilly’s performance did you like?

    His voice is actually easy to listen to


    Any additional comments?

    Very good book for anyone who would like to learn of what really happened in Dallas that November day !

    Even today, almost five decades after John F. Kennedy was slain, the public continues to be captivated by the "Kennedy Curse" and new theories about what really happened on that fateful day in 1963. For nearly 50 years former Secret Service agent Clint Hill has lived with the unimaginable guilt of losing a president on his watch and has obeyed an honor code of silence, refusing to contribute to any books about the assassination. Until now.

    Some other reviews felt this audio book was boring or repetitive, I didn't feel that at all
    of your interested in the events of November 22, 1963, this is something you need to listen to !!

    Last Train to Memphis: The Rise of Elvis Presley is the first biography to go past that myth and present an Elvis beyond the legend. Based on hundreds of interviews and nearly a decade of research, it traces the evolution not just of the man but of the music and of the culture he left utterly transformed, creating a completely fresh portrait of Elvis and his world. This volume tracks the first 24 years of Elvis' life, covering his childhood, the stunning first recordings at Sun Records, and the early RCA hits.

    The gruesome murders of the beautiful and talented actress Sharon Tate, her unborn child, and four others that same night at the hands of the notorious “Manson family” rocked the nation. As one of the most horrific crimes in modern history, these atrocities, the trial, and the subsequent conviction of Charles Manson and his followers caused a media sensation, spawning movies, documentaries, and best-selling books, including the classic Helter Skelter.

    Would you listen to Restless Souls again? Why?

    I've become obsessed with the entire Manson nightmare, I've listened to other books on the murders and I feel this one gives it more of a human side to the them...

    If anyone is at all interested in the insane nightmares that took place in August of 69
    this is a MUST read !!


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    I liked Patty, I liked hearing how she became stronger and stronger throughout her life to once and for all face the animals that took her sisters life


    Have you listened to any of the narrators’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    Have not heard others


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

    It made me happy that this family is making sure the monsters that committed these crimes are staying right where they belong,.. In Prison suffering for the rest of their worthless lives


    Any additional comments?

    Very good book !!
