![Gates of Fire: An Epic Novel of the Battle of Thermopylae | [Steven Pressfield]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51KcKk6qUXL._SL175_.jpg)
"It was a fun read, but it has a lot of patriotism."
What made the experience of listening to Gates of Fire the most enjoyable?It's always fun to delve into the daily lives of the ancients. This book really takes you there. He's a very good descriptive writer.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)You can't spoil this ending. It's been well known for 2500 years.
Which character – as performed by George Guidall – was your favorite?not sure
If you could rename Gates of Fire, what would you call it?Violence and intrigue.
Any additional comments?It's not literature, and I'm not sure female readers would get much out of it. It was a fun novel without many surprises. Like much non-literature fiction, the good guys are really good. So much so that the characters don't feel like real people.

![The Innocent Man: Murder and Injustice in a Small Town | [John Grisham]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41sk+pj2iTL._SL175_.jpg)
"Who knew Grisham was a good non-fiction writer?"
What made the experience of listening to The Innocent Man the most enjoyable?The reader is top notch. The research is remarkably thorough. It helps you see the occasional failures of the US judicial system.
What other book might you compare The Innocent Man to and why?It's like a long Dateline episode.
What about Craig Wasson’s performance did you like?He changed voices for the protagonist. After a while, you feel like you're listening to the actual person he's portraying.
What’s the most interesting tidbit you’ve picked up from this book?Hair evidence is completly unreliable.
Any additional comments?You'll really root for the protagonist and empathize with his plight. This is in spite of the fact that he's not a very likable person.

Would you listen to Absalom, Absalom! again? Why?The reader has a great voice. He never seems to get bored with the material. How could he?
Who was your favorite character and why?I'm not sure, but there were some good ones.
What about Grover Gardner’s performance did you like?His voice, intonation, and accent.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?No, it takes time to digest.
Any additional comments?none

![The Listener's Bible: English Standard Version | [Fellowship for the Performing Arts]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51CbCw080LL._SL175_.jpg)
"Very well read."
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?Yes, it's the word of God.
What did you like best about this story?see above
What about Max McLean’s performance did you like?It's very difficult material. There are many difficult pronunciations. He seems to do them well. His deep voice was kind of wierd at first. I've gotten used to it, and I think it fits the material.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?No, it made me think about what a Christian's proper relationship with the Old Testament should be.
