    Did Lizzie Borden really take an axe and give her mother 40 whacks and her father 41? She was acquitted, but controversy still rages over the century-old double murder case. This documentary digs for the facts.

    What did you like best about Biography? What did you like least?

    I found it all a bit iffy, nothing new learned. To be fair though, the biographer is obviously limited by the facts available but it made for a rather boring story in the end. I gained no new insight into the story at all.


    What could A&E Television Networks have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

    More research


    Was Biography worth the listening time?

    It was okay, it didn't cost much so I probably got what I paid for.

    It is a case unlike any psychologist Dr. Alex Delaware has ever encountered. Five-year-old Woody Swope is ill, but the real problem is his parents. They refuse to agree to the one treatment that could save this boy's life. Alex sets out to convince Mr. and Mrs. Swope - only to find that the parents have left the hospital and taken their son with them. Worse, the sleazy motel room where the Swopes were staying is empty - except for the ominous bloodstain. The Swopes and their son have vanished into the sordid shadows of the city.

    What did you love best about Blood Test?

    I love the development of the main characters.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    The main character, probably because we get to know him better than the others. He is tough but very compassionate and not afraid to show his softer side


    What about Alexander Adams’s performance did you like?

    Hi voice. LOOOOOOOOVE his deep timbre.


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

    I could have but I buy my books to listen to when I go walking every day so it is done an hour at a time. I have just ordered Book Three in the series so that says something about my feelings.

    Dr. Morton Handler practiced a strange brand of psychiatry. Among his specialties were fraud, extortion, and sexual manipulation. Handler paid for his sins when he was brutally murdered in his luxurious Pacific Palisades apartment. The police have no leads, but they do have one possible witness: seven-year-old Melody Quinn.

    Where does When the Bough Breaks rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    One of the better ones.


    What did you like best about this story?

    It is an easy listening story, well written and easy to follow but enough intrigue to keep you interested. Very well narrated too, good storytellers all round


    What does Alexander Adams bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    He read it along similar veins to the way I may have if I read the book myself.


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

    No, just an enjoyable listen.

    An ex-con dubbed "The Folsom Wolf," James Marlow persuades his girlfriend, Cynthia Coffman, to travel across the country torturing, raping, and killing young women. But was James really the one who was controlled by Cynthia to carry out her master plan? Find the truth in this tell all! Written By A Condemned Man: I am a prisoner in San Quentin on Death Row. I love writing books as it passes the time in this dark place! I love writing poetry and am told that I am very good at it!

    This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

    Nobody, it was so poorly written and so hard to believe any of it. The author wrote as if he were a poor innocent in it all.


    What do you think your next listen will be?

    Not sure yet, I'll have to look through the library


    Would you listen to another book narrated by John David?

    Yes, he reads well, I just didn't enjoy this book at all.


    If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from I Wish You Were Never Born?

    Everything, it was so bad I couldn't even listen to the end - something I almost never do.
