Story4.5 out of 5 stars 4
Martin Fenwick was a rich, respected syndicate man; a man everybody loved. Until the day he stumbled onto a deadly secret that sent him on a rendezvous with a bullet that silenced him forever. Lois Fenwick, the unfortunate widow, was oddly without sorrow over her husband's death, for she was still young, beautiful, and very much alive. Mrs. Fenwick knew how to live...and love. David Fenwick, the surviving son, was about to become a man. He wanted his father's killer, and would risk his own life to find him.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 5,845
While the powerlessness of the laboring class is a recurring theme in Steinbeck’s work of the late 1930s, he narrowed his focus when composing Of Mice and Men (1937), creating an intimate portrait of two men facing a world marked by petty tyranny, misunderstanding, jealousy, and callousness. But though the scope is narrow, the theme is universal: a friendship and shared dream that make an individual’s existence meaningful.

Story4 out of 5 stars 2,660
From his perspective in Renaissance Italy, Machiavelli's aim in this classic work was to resolve conflict with the ruling prince, Lorenzo de Medici. Machiavelli based his insights on the way people really are rather than an ideal of how they should be. This is the world's most famous master plan for seizing and holding power. Astonishing in its candor The Prince even today remains a disturbingly realistic and prophetic work on what it takes to be a prince, a king, or a president.

Publisher's Summary
American author Richard Connell wrote many novels, stories, and screenplays, but today is known primarily for his fascinating story, "The Most Dangerous Game", which to this day continues to be widely anthologized and read. The two main characters are and American big-game hunter who finds himself stranded on a remote island, and a Russian aristocrat who is also a hunter but, it turns out, one has some very strange ideas about that "sport".
This is an extremely suspenseful and action-packed yarn, but it also raises questions about the nature of violence and cruelty and the ethics of hunting for sport. The story won the prestigious O. Henry Memorial Award for short fiction in 1924.

good
it's been done so many times since and thankfully in more interesting ways, this was quite the story when it first came out I'm sure but I'm afraid it doesn't hold up that well over time

What made the experience of listening to The Most Dangerous Game the most enjoyable?
Ran Alan Ricard had a great voice for this story and my students appreciated hearing the story read by a male rather than a female voice.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Most Dangerous Game?
The most memorable moments of the story for my students are the suspense of the hunt and the surprise ending of the story.
Have you listened to any of Ran Alan Ricard’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No, I have not listened to any or Ran Alan Richard's other performances before.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I am very familiar with the story, since I have taught it over many years but, it was nice to have someone other than myself read the very masculine story. My students however, were very attentive as they read along.
