Had to go back in the series to find out how certain characters came about... I was NOT disappointed. If you like the Dreamland series you have to have this in your library.

Superman. Diesel. The Big Aristotle. Shaq Fu. The Big Daddy. The Big Shaqtus. Wilt Chamberneezy. The Real Deal. The Big Shamrock. Shaq.... From growing up in difficult circumstances and getting cut from his high-school basketball team to his larger-than-life basketball career, Shaquille O'Neal lays it all out in Shaq Uncut: My Story.

What made the experience of listening to Shaq Uncut the most enjoyable?

I have to admit that I was pleasantly suprised at how well I enjoyed this. The narrator was very good and at first you think that Shaq is really telling this. You do get the feeling that Shaq loves himself and that no one will ever be like him....But that's Shaq. A GOOD LISTEN.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Mother and Grandmother... They always kept him on point.

Which character – as performed by Dion Graham – was your favorite?

Shaq.... of course

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

The Big (...) Can you dig it...

Not so very long ago, Eragon - Shadeslayer, Dragon Rider - was nothing more than a poor farm boy, and his dragon, Saphira, only a blue stone in the forest. Now the fate of an entire civilization rests on their shoulders. months of training and battle have brought victories and hope, but they have also brought heartbreaking loss. And still, the real battle lies ahead: they must confront Galbatorix. When they do, they will have to be strong enough to defeat him. And if they cannot, no one can.

What made the experience of listening to Inheritance the most enjoyable?

The was that Christopher Paolini wove the story to its FIRST (hint) conclusion. All of the loose ends were tied up. (Even if some of them were not story book ending) The conclusions made sense. In listening to the reasons WHY the events happened like they did... I had to agree.
This installment is the end piece of a Masterpiece started many years ago... Congratulations!

What other book might you compare Inheritance to and why?

Enders Game... Logical development... entertaining...

Which character – as performed by Gerard Doyle – was your favorite?

Eragon... this character made me MAD...Happy...sad and all of this knowing he is one-of-a-kind.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Join the adventure with characters in the same stature as AVATAR... A must see...

Griffin's popular Badge of Honor police series returns, with a story of murder and lawlessness as compelling as today's headlines. Homicide Sergeant Matthew Payne is used to murder, but lately there's been an awful lot of it in Philadelphia. A gangland shooting in a popular tourist location has left six dead, most of them innocent bystanders, and days later the body of a headless Latina turns up in the Schuykill River.

In the Micronesian Islands, a top secret, U.S. government- sponsored undersea lab conducting vital biomedical research on a rare jellyfish known as the Blue Medusa suddenly disappears. At the same time, off Bermuda, a bathysphere is attacked by an underwater vehicle and left helpless a half mile below the surface, its passengers -i ncluding Zavala - left to die. Only Kurt Austin's heroic measures save them, but, suspecting a connection, Austin puts the NUMA(r) team on the case.

Twelve-year-old Percy Jackson is about to be kicked out of boarding school...again. No matter how hard he tries, he can't seem to stay out of trouble. But can he really be expected to stand by and watch while a bully picks on his scrawny best friend? Or not defend himself against his pre-algebra teacher when she turns into a monster and tries to kill him? Of course, no one believes Percy about the monster incident; he's not even sure he believes himself.

This is one book that was really delightful to listen to. I know that it had the young at heart in mind and you have to understand the fast paced thinking of it. You can start this book and be finished with it very quickly.

An undeniable masterpiece of Western Civilization, The Metamorphoses is a continuous narrative that covers all the Olympian legends, seamlessly moving from one story to another in a splendid panorama of savage beauty, charm, and wit. All of the gods and heroes familiar to us are represented. Such familiar legends as Hercules, Perseus and Medusa, Daedelus and Icarus, Diana and Actaeon, and many others, are breathtakingly recreated.

The story line is good but what happens during the first part of the book is somewhat lost. You might thing that he is attempting to introduce characters but Robin did not need to spend so much ink doing it. Solid story and draws you to the conclusion... wait... it didn't.

The Dreamland team used stealth, raw nerve, and technology to defuse a nightmare on the other side of the world. But now the darkness is racing toward America at blinding speed. With more than two dozen nuclear devices unaccounted for, the global masters of terror have set a catastrophe in motion - a surprise attack more deadly than Pearl Harbor and 9/11 combined. If the nation is to survive, Lt. Colonel Tecumseh "Dog" Bastian and his crew will have to reach deep into their cutting-edge arsenal.

This is a Good Read...Listen...I needed background on the Dreamland team and noticed that there is a good progression in the way that the characters have been developed. You will want to get many books in the series because of needing the history of events. The main Character is a little too consumed with everything to the neglect of his personal life...Oh Well.

If you want to listen to a book that sometimes gets alittle graphic but still holds your imagination, this is it. You still have to use your imagination...which is good. It leaves you wondering..."Is it still happening?" You'll know what I mean if you get the book.
