    Where do we come from? Who created us? Why are we here? These questions have puzzled us since the dawn of time, but when it became apparent to Jon Stewart and the writers of The Daily Show that the world was about to end, they embarked on a massive mission to write a book that summed up the human race: What we looked like; what we accomplished; our achievements in society, government, religion, science, and culture - all in a lavishly produced audiobook.

    Lee says: "Good book, not great. But let me explain."
    "Earth by Jon Stuart is a lot of fun!!"

    Would you listen to The Daily Show with Jon Stewart Presents Earth (The Audiobook) again? Why?

    The Audio has Stewart and some of his stuff from his show plus S. Weaver that read it. It's funny like his show and I think I will listen to it more than once. The only down side is I had to order a cheap book to look at the pictures from the book. Still listening is enjpyable and I laughed out loud a few tiimes while I worked on computer. It really was a fun look at the Earth.


    What other book might you compare The Daily Show with Jon Stewart Presents Earth (The Audiobook) to and why?

    I think if I had to compare it to another book I would have to go back to an old audio I have of the Hitchhikers to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams. And yes it has that weird kind of humor while still passing alone information. Douglas would of loved Steward.


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

    Hitchhakers to the Galaxy or a Big Finnish production, Sorry I am a Sci Fi geek. But it's not science Fiction, It's a like his show.


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

    The parts where he explained things to a aliens set to invade the Earth, I was amuzed


    Any additional comments?

    It well done audio book.

    Kitty has been tapped as the keynote speaker for the First International Conference on Paranatural Studies, taking place in London. The conference brings together scientists, activists, protestors, and supernatural beings from all over the world - and Kitty, Ben, and Cormac are right in the middle of it.Master vampires from dozens of cities have also gathered in London for a conference of their own. With the help of the Master of London, Kitty gets more of a glimpse into the Long Game than she ever has before.

    What made the experience of listening to Kitty Steals the Show the most enjoyable?

    I have read all 10 of Carrie Vaughn novel and loved them all. She mixes humor with fun Urban Fantasy. The voice of the reader sound just like I pictured Kitty sounding in my head. I want to listen to the next one in the series. I also bought the book for my kindle because it was so good I wanted to read it as well. The trip to London made the city come alive for me. Yet held the air of a con or convention. The all tied up with too many people feel. I loved the story.


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Kitty Steals the Show?

    Kitty interaction with Cormac and how his sprit guide she is also coming to grips with and the fact she has a healthy relationship with Ben and of coarse the point of the novel, TALK first before acting Kitty secret weapon is talking. Love that.


    Which character – as performed by Marguerite Gavin – was your favorite?

    Kitty rocked and Maquerite had her down pat. She made Kitty come alive also Cormac and Emilia inside Cormac.


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

    It made me Laugh out load. And I listen to the whole story in a long day on the computer working I didn't want to leave the story for a minute.


    Any additional comments?

    Just listen and let it blow your mind at how good it is.

    Jane Yellowrock is the last of her kind-a skinwalker of Cherokee descent who can turn into any creature she desires and hunts vampires for a living. But now she's been hired by Katherine Fontaneau, one of the oldest vampires in New Orleans and the madam of Katie's Ladies, to hunt a powerful rogue vampire who's killing other vamps.

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

    The voice of the reader is just how I pictured Beast talking in my head. And also Jane. Faith Hunter put together one of the best Urban Fantasy novel ever with her Jane Yellowrock stories.


    What other book might you compare Skinwalker to and why?

    She is in the ballpack of Carrie Vaughn and Laurel K Hamilton without the sex, Also Patricia Briggs who writes the Mercy Thompson skinwalker series. Hunter is as good as any of the three. .


    What about Khristine Hvam’s performance did you like?

    She got Jane's voice down pat and also Beast,


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

    The blending of Urban Fantasy with Cherokee legend, and Jane's hang ups.


    Any additional comments?

    Just listen to it, It's great!
