.The Shack: Where Tragedy Confronts Eternity
City Travel Guides > Books > Audiobooks
by: William Paul Young

July 01, 2008
A coworker loaned "The Shack" to me, telling me, "You gotta read this book. It changed my life." I told him I'd read it with an open mind. When I gave the book back, after having read it, I told him, "It was good, but it didn't change my life." He seemed genuinely disappointed, and perhaps a little bitter, when he replied, "I guess it just wasn't the right time for you to read it, then." Frankly, his level of attachment to the book was surprising, considering that I thought he was a sort of hard-line "by the book" Christian.

As a story involving love, loss, family, forgiveness, and spirituality, "The Shack" would go in my top 10% of inspirational books, despite its tendency to be New Age-y. Of course there are major differences ... Read More:

.The Lucky One
City Travel Guides > Books > Audiobooks
by: Nicholas Sparks

September 30, 2008
After seeing this book was #2 on the NYT bestseller's list, I read the jacket and dove in. The book starts extremely well with a modern and interesting narrative. The flashback scenes are well done and at no time lose the reader.

About 2/3's of the way into the book, the characters become well defined and start to gain a mild complexity. Unfortunately that is where the development stops. In an attempt to create a dramatic ending the book takes on a sit com like aspect. The characters become one dimensional, the story line predictable and you feel the author racing to create a tidy ending.

If the author had further developed the auxiliary characters and ending, it could of been on par with similar books in this genre like ... Read More:

.Heat Lightning (Virgil Flowers)
City Travel Guides > Books > Audiobooks
by: John Sandford

September 23, 2008
This is the first Virgil Flowers story worth reading but get it in paperback unless you have cash to burn. Actually written this time by John Sandford, Flowers is in charge of solving a string of unusual murders relating back to the Vietnam war. It is a different direction for Sandford and slightly left of center politically but not so that it is excessively annoying. Flowers is a three dimensional character for the first time so the reader may actually begin to care about him for a change. There are some humorous moments in the story and it even prompted me to buy a 'WWTDD' T Shirt... don't ask.

.Hot Mahogany (Stone Barrington Novel)
City Travel Guides > Books > Audiobooks
by: Stuart Woods

September 23, 2008
Stone Barrington and his "friends and lovers" provide another exciting story. Funny, good plot, and great ending say it all. The author made one error in the book and I was able to email him and tell him of the correction. Did not take away from a wonderful story.

.Secret Life of Bees: CD
City Travel Guides > Books > Audiobooks
by: Sue Monk Kidd

January 24, 2002
The Secret Life of Bees is one of those books that is always talked about yet might not be as good as people say it is. You don't really know until you read it yourself. It has reached such a high pedestal in today's literature that it might just be hype. But it is certainly not. This novel was one of the best I have read this year.
Lily Owens, fourteen years old, is growing sick of her home. Conflicted by the memory of the day her mother died, Lily has to also deal with her mean father T.Ray, who routinely makes her kneel on grits. After her nanny Rosaleen ends up in jail, Lily decides it is time to take charge. She busts Rosaleen out and travels to Tiburon, South Carolina. All she has left of her mother is a little picture of the Black Madonna with ... Read More:

.The Gingerbread Girl
City Travel Guides > Books > Audiobooks
by: Stephen King

May 06, 2008
This audio book was read by Mare Winningham, and she does a fine job. The story is the main draw, and you want this one. It is not really a horror story; it is a tale of terror, with more of a 'how badly do you want to survive?' theme. Lots of action, lots of clues as to what may happen next, with lots (and lots) of tension.
