    Just a generation ago this place was called America. Now, after the worldwide implementation of UN-lead program called Agenda 21, it's simply known as the 'Republic'. There is no president. No congress. No Supreme Court. No freedom. There are only the Authorities. Citizens have two primary goals in the new Republic: to create clean energy and to create new human life. Those who cannot do either are of no use to society. This bleak and barren existence is all that 18-year-old Emmeline has ever known.

    Terri says: "Bad Ending"
    "Thrilling and chilling."

    Story
    (429)

    The bizarre murder of a parish priest at a New York bondage club opens Nikki Heat's most thrilling and dangerous case so far, pitting her against New York's most vicious drug lord, an arrogant CIA contractor, and a shadowy death squad out to gun her down. And that is just the tip of an iceberg that leads to a dark conspiracy reaching all the way to the highest level of the NYPD.

    ShySusan says: "Another good one from Castle."
    "Less than ideal narration ruined this book for me."

    Would you try another book from Richard Castle and/or Johnny Heller?

    No, I would not. The storyline just did not keep my interest.


    What could Richard Castle have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

    The character did not come alive to me. I fault the narration.


    What didn’t you like about Johnny Heller’s performance?

    I had too much difficulty figuring out which character was being represented.


    You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

    It had a woman detective as chief character.


    Any additional comments?

    I cannot recommend this book.

  • Atlas Shrugged | [Ayn Rand]
    Atlas Shrugged
    ABRIDGED

    Atlas Shrugged

    Story
    (246)

    As passionate as it is profound, Atlas Shrugged is one of the most influential novels of our time. In it, Rand dramatizes the main tenets of Objectivism, her philosophy of rational selfishness. She explores the ramifications of her radical thinking in a world that penalizes human intelligence and integrity.

    Shawn says: "Edward Hermann's masterful performance."
    "better than 63 HOURS!!"

    Story
    What did you love best about Atlas Shrugged?

    This is a story as compelling in today's troubled times as it could be. A message of hope in a socialist society.


    What did you like best about this story?

    There was enough detail here, I did not feel like I was getting a Cliff Notes version.


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

    Excellent narration. Kept me hanging on every word.


    Any additional comments?

    I would never have read this book, and a 63 hour version would have bored me to tears. There is enough here to really get the message by Ayn Rand!
