Great narrators!
Biggest Smallest Bookshelf Ever!
Hands-free reading at its very best, this is the biggest, smallest bookshelf around. With an incredible choice of classics, modern, fiction, non-fiction, biographies, and podcasts, the Audible app gen uinely has something for everyone, and yet it still fits in your pocket. The user interface is simple and intuitive, and subscribers get free episodic content as well as a credit for a free book every month, which can be spent on any book in the store regardless of price!
The app synchs, so you can be listening to a book on your tablet, switch to your phone and it will pick up at the same place. You can listen to books narrated by famous names like Stephen Fry, and a host of other wonderful voices, at home, in your car, through your headphones, and wherever else you can listen to music or podcasts, and the voices appear to be selected specifically with the content in mind. And if you don't like a book, you can simply swap it for another one, no questions asked.
All in all, Audible is a great, easy to use app, with fantastic content, excellent customer service, an amazing range and number of books and 'shows', and fantastic voice talents, all for a very low monthly fee. And you can give it a try with the first month (and your first book) free in a lot of cases.

The next to last collection of comic strips from Calvin and Hobbes features the nine month break creator Bill Watterson took. There aren't as many stories, although the familiar themes are still present. And the laughs for fans new and old are just as strong as they were 20 years ago.

What the f...

Seriously? Leaving me hanging with that cliffy? I want to scream and cry and bawl.

I want to beat the shite out of Cut and Daniel and the old hag.

I want to run away with Nila and Jethro and Kes and Jasmine.

But the worst thing is having to wait 2-3 weeks for book 5, and then another month for book 6! Pepper Winters, I wish you could write quicker, and not so captivating stories, so I wouldn't feel so stressed right now over whether to read book 4 right now or wait a week or two.

TORTURE!!!!!!!

The writing style (0 more)
We read this book for the first month of my monthly book club,personally I rated it two out of five, as a group it was rates three out of five. I don't think any of us really loved it,and personally I wouldn't say I really enjoyed it,but that's maybe because it isn't a book.i would usually read. I found it really hard to connect with the style of writing as I could not get immerses in the story or characters,It wasn't a very personal style of writing,instead making you feel like you were being kept at an arms distance. I only started to enjoy the story three quarters through the book when the story was being tied up and coming to an end. As a group we all decided we wouldn't be reading anymore Georgina Harding.
