    Imogene is young and beautiful. She kisses like a movie star and knows everything about every film ever made. She's also dead and waiting in the Rosebud Theater for Alec Sheldon on an afternoon in 1945...Arthur Roth is a lonely kid with big ideas and a gift for attracting abuse. It isn't easy to make friends when you're the only inflatable boy in town.

    I listened to one short story after another, and then went back and listened to some of them again.
    Joe Hill is a wonderful and creative writer. I then learned that he is Stephen King's son, but his talent is his own.

    Two abandoned souls are on the hunt for one powerful man. Soon, their paths will cross and lead to one twisted fate. Danny Hansen is a Bosnian immigrant who came to America with hopes of escaping haunted memories of a tragic war that took his mother's life. Now he's a priest who lives by a law of love and compassion. It is powerful men and hypocrites who abide by legal law but eschew the law of love that most incense Danny. As an avenging angel, he believes it is his duty to show them the error of their ways, at any cost. Renee Gilmore is the frail and helpless victim of one such powerful man....

    Jerry says: "Excellent idea. Poor execution."
    "Great idea, badly done...."

    Story

    The concept sounded interesting, and this book got some good reviews, so I bought it. I'm not sure I'll finish it though. If I do finish, it will be because I am still hoping that the plot or the characters will be redeemed. I know this is never gong to happen, and I am leaning on the side of deletion. The heroine is not at all believable, unless you are looking for a bad read about an emotionally immature, more than superficial young woman. She has the stupidest thought processes, and does the stupidest things! I don't get the first "savior" at all. The second guy is the only part of the book I like. The narrator sounds as dumb as her character. Does this make her a good reader, or a bad one? It doesn't matter in the end. Don't waste your time on this one.

    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.

    I have not enjoyed King's books since his accident, but this one is as good as his best books. Loved the characters, the settings and the complexities.

    Fifteen-year-old Christopher Boone has Asperger's Syndrome, a condition similar to autism. He doesn't like to be touched or meet new people, he cannot make small talk, and he hates the colors brown and yellow. He is a math whiz with a very logical brain who loves solving puzzles that have definite answers.

    Robert says: "Endearing. Pathos, humor, reality, and insight."
    "Great read (listen)!"

    This is actually a children's book, but I highly recommend it. I fell in love with the main character, Christopher. His autism, perceptions and ways of thinking are so endearing. He is a true hero!
