    Story

    Mr McCammon weaves a rich tale set in the late 1600's that I found very entertaining. Toward the end of the story it was difficult to turn it off. Mr Ballerini has a beautiful voice for reading & gives the characters wonderful voices.

    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.

    This is abosolutely an engrossing book all the way through. I listen as I commute to & from work & I just couldn't wait to get back to the book to find out what happens next. It was endearing & funny. I will be watching to see what Ms Stockett writes next.

    Ken Follett's World Without End was a global phenomenon, a work of grand historical sweep beloved by millions of readers and acclaimed by critics. Fall of Giants is his magnificent new historical epic. The first novel in The Century Trilogy, it follows the fates of five interrelated families - American, German, Russian, English, and Welsh - as they move through the world-shaking dramas of the First World War, the Russian Revolution, and the struggle for women's suffrage.

    Story

    It starts out a little slow but the characters that Ken Follet creates always draw you in. And he always has a character I love to hate as well. I like the way he slowly unfolds the story just like they're people who live next door & I'm watching it all unfold. Thanks Ken for another great book.
