![Crossing the Borders of Time: A True Story of War, Exile, and Love Reclaimed | [Leslie Maitland]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51or-HCf9BL._SL175_.jpg)
"Horrendous!!!!!!!!"
What would have made Crossing the Borders of Time better?Change the narrator and the author.
What could Leslie Maitland have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?The story seemed to be good, but the narrator was worse than a middle school kid reading a book report and the book was a poorly written high school essay.
How did the narrator detract from the book?No voice training or experience in story narrating. Terrible voice. She's narrating a chronicle. Impossible to distinguish the different characters. Impossible to inmerse into the story or the emotions that make up the story. One thing is to be the author and a character who participates and is a witness of the events in the story, but this does not qualify you to professionally narrate the story.
What character would you cut from Crossing the Borders of Time?no comment.
Any additional comments?Remake the entire audiobook.

![Buddha's Brain: The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love & Wisdom | [Rick Hanson, Richard Mendius]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51z6mFPGiOL._SL175_.jpg)
"Very good book"
Would you listen to Buddha's Brain again? Why?Yes, I would listen again. I also have the printed version and I have other similar reference books and other materials. I'm a Zen master and a Neurologist. I integrate alternative medicine in my practice. I give several lectures and lead several retreats every year. I use reference material all the time. I have added this title to my reference material. It is well written and has substantial and reliable peer reviewed references. This is a resource that I would highly recommend to people interested in undestanding the neurobiology of meditation, prayer and the effects of neuroimmunology in supporting health and aiding in the treatment of disease.
What did you like best about this story?The structure of the book is well layed out and has a logical sequence with easy to understand language and straightforward linking of concepts to the scientific concepts and references.
Which character – as performed by Alan Bomar Jones – was your favorite?N/A
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?N/A
Any additional comments?Other recommended reading: "Who is in charge" by Michael Gazzaniga

![Defending Jacob: A Novel | [William Landay]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51ZAcazNQ5L._SL175_.jpg)
"Well written and very good narrator."
Would you consider the audio edition of Defending Jacob to be better than the print version?I did not read the print version.
What does Grover Gardner bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?The narrator helps me visualize the story better than if I were readin the book.
