"The Breathing Method", from Stephen King's bestselling collecton Different Seasons, takes place in an exclusive gentlemen's club in New York, where no one pays any dues. Membership is based upon a telling of tales, and one nightmarish tale about a disgraced woman determined to give birth - not matter the consequences - pays for them all.
Julie Price says: "Just great!!!!"

What made the experience of listening to The Breathing Method the most enjoyable?

The story was very intriguing but the performance was right on point for the type of setting the story took place.

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

I think this was the first performance I've heard from Frank Muller but it will certainly not be my last.

Any additional comments?

This story and performance transported you to another place & time where you held your breath and wondered "Is this the breathing method?" I only wish there were more series to this.

Thrown from the wreckage of his '74 Camaro, Paul Sheldon, author of a best-selling series of historical romances, wakes up one day in a secluded Colorado farmhouse owned by Annie Wilkes, a psychotic ex-nurse who claims she is his number one fan. Immobilized from the pain of two shattered legs and a crushed knee, Sheldon is at Annie's mercy.

Would you consider the audio edition of Misery to be better than the print version?

I've never read this book, only saw the movie, but the performance was so good that the movie inside my head was just as good.

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

This was the first time I listened to Lindsay Crouse but I will make sure that it is not my last. She was fantastic.

Any additional comments?

The story was great as I knew it would be but it dragged a bit which is why I assume the movie cut those scenes out. All in all it was worth the listen.

Prince Liam. Prince Frederic. Prince Duncan. Prince Gustav. You've never heard of them, have you? These are the princes who saved Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Snow White, and Rapunzel, respectively, and yet, thanks to those lousy bards who wrote the tales, you likely know them only as Prince Charming. But all of this is about to change.

Would you listen to The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom again? Why?

I would absolutely listen to this story again. It was cleverly different... A refreshing comical twist on princess fairy tales that made you smile and giggle over and over again. Bronson Pinchot's performance was amazing and one of his best.

Who was your favorite character and why?

They were all memorable, mostly due to the great performance.

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

Yes

Great listen... You won't regret the purchase.

Survivors is the all-new soul-shattering climax to the postapocalyptic trilogy, featuring a deadly virus, military action, global devastation - and zombies. A lot can change in three months: Wars can be decided, nations can be forged...or entire species can be brought to the brink of annihilation. The Morningstar Virus, an incredibly virulent disease, has swept the face of the planet, infecting billions. The infected hosts rampage, attacking anything that remains uninfected.
Mike says: "Thom Brannan dropped the ball"

Would you listen to Survivors again? Why?

I would not listen to this book again.. Out of the three books in this series, this was my least favorite. The story ran on a bit about non interesting things. It also built up side plots that went nowhere and the ending itself was a bit confusing. The final scene, ending the series, was a major let down; I literally said out loud "That sucked"

What about Oliver Wyman’s performance did you like?

Oliver Wymam's performance was on point as usual. He brings life to the characters and at times saves the story it's self through his pro narration.

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

Bronson Pinchot is my favorite narrator and has yet to disappoint me. His character voices are the best and you can distinctly tell one character from the other. Him and Chris Farnsworth are brilliant combination.

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

I mainly listen to audio books on my commutes but I could barley pry myself away from this story...letting it sneak into my breaks and spare time.

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed the first 2 books, but this was by far my favorite. It was intense, chilling and unpredictable...all the makings of a great thriller, with a supernatural twist.

Whitley Strieber's newest novel about a young boy who is kidnapped by a deranged misfit is a shocking look into the dark soul of a psychopath. Whitley Strieber is also the author of such novels as Communion and Transformation.

Which character – as performed by Roddy McDowall – was your favorite?

McDowall's performance invoked the sadistic tortured mind of Barton Royle. He gave me chills.

Whitley Strieber and Roddy McDowell made this story come to life and made me hold my kids a little tighter at night.

On a quiet fall evening in the small, peaceful town of Mill Valley, California, Dr. Miles Bennell discovers an insidious, horrifying plot. Silently, subtly, almost imperceptibly, alien life-forms are taking over the bodies and minds of his neighbors, his friends, his family, the woman he loves, and the world as he knows it.

Which character – as performed by Kristoffer Tabori – was your favorite?

Kristoffer played all the characters very well but I liked the main character the best. You can tell he envisioned the scene and channeled the character's emotions through the tone of his voice.

Any additional comments?

I never saw the movie but Im glad I heard this audio instead.
