    During World War II, a family's life is turned upside down when the government opens a Japanese internment camp in their small Colorado town. After a young girl is murdered, all eyes (and suspicions) turn to the newcomers, the "interlopers", the "strangers". Rennie Stroud has never seen it before. She has just turned 13 and, until this time, life has pretty much been what her father told her it should be: predictable and fair.

    After their epic journey across Europe, Ayla and Jondalar have reached his home, the Ninth Cave of the Zelandonii, the old stone-age settlement in the region known today as southwest France. Jondalar's family greet him warmly, but they are initially wary of the beautiful young woman he has brought back, with her strange accent and her tame wolf and horses.

    Would you consider the audio edition of The Shelters of Stone to be better than the print version?

    not better, but very good. Not good that Sandra burr gives the main character a new voice in book 5. Since the same narrator reads all six books, i thought it was wrong and disappointing that the main character suddenly has a new voice and new accent. Especially if you listen to them back to back.


    What other book might you compare The Shelters of Stone to and why?

    None compare. This is book #5 in a 6 book series, Sandra burr narrates them all, But in book 5, she gives the main female character a new voice, and accent that she never had in the first four books, i do not like that. This Ayla sounds different than the character ive been listning to the last couple weeks


    Would you listen to another book narrated by Sandra Burr?

    yes, This is book #5 in a 6 book series, Sandra burr narrates them all, But in book 5, she gives the main female character a new voice, and accent that she never had in the first four books, i do not like that. This Ayla sounds different than the character ive been listning to the last couple weeks. disappointing


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

    Too many to mention. Great story.


    Any additional comments?

    This is book #5 in a 6 book series, Sandra burr narrates them all, But in book 5, she gives the main female character a new voice, and accent that she never had in the first four books, i do not like that. This Ayla sounds different than the character ive been listning to the last couple weeks. Kinda ruined the whole experience.

    Why we think it’s a great listen: The most celebrated performance in all of Audible’s history, The Help has nearly 2,000 5-star reviews from your fellow listeners. We hear the print book’s not bad, either. In pitch-perfect voices, Kathryn Stockett creates three extraordinary women whose determination to start a movement of their own forever changes a town, and the way women - mothers, daughters, caregivers, friends - view one another.

    Two girls who grow up to become women...two friends who become something worse than enemies. In this brilliantly imagined novel, Toni Morrison tells the story of Nel Wright and Sula Peace, who meet as children in the small town of Medallion, Ohio. Their devotion is fierce enough to withstand bullies and the burden of a dreadful secret.

    This could possibly be a good read.If i ever chance the opportunity to read the book for free,then i will give it another chance. So sad i spent my $ on this, the narration really is that bad. Because the reading was so awful it was hard to pay attention, and distinguish between characters. Terrible !

    Why we think it’s a great listen: Some books are meant to be read; others are meant to be heard – Water for Elephants falls into the second group, and is one of the best examples we have of how a powerful performance enhances a great story. Nonagenarian Jacob Jankowski reflects back on his wild and wondrous days with a circus. It's the Depression Era and Jacob, finding himself parentless and penniless, joins the Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth.
