People start dropping dead around Charlie, giant ravens perch on his building, and it seems that everywhere he goes, a dark presence whispers to him from under the streets. Strange names start appearing on his nightstand notepad, and before he knows it, those people end up dead, too. Yup, it seems that Charlie Asher has been recruited for a new job, an unpleasant but utterly necessary one: Death.

Love It, then it was over
Reviewed: 03-27-06
This was a really great listen. The narrator does a wonderful job, the charaters are great, and it was building an interesting storyline, then it was done. Boom, just like that mid-story it was over. Nothing was brought to closure, just over. It left me confused.

This book was so interesting and entertaining. I felt like I was in South America with Teddy Roosevelt. The imagery is wonderful and each charter is well developed.

In late 2003, in his column in Entertainment Weekly, Stephen King called The Memory of Running "the best novel you won't read this year." This glowing endorsement of the audiobook resulted in Ron McLarty receiving a $2 million two-book deal from Viking Penguin. Also, Warner Brothers has shelled out big bucks for the movie rights to The Memory of Running, for which McLarty will write the script.

The worst

This is the worst book on tape I have ever heard. The story is terrible, but reading is horrific!!!! There is not charactering building or even a story line. Nothing fits together in the tale.

Wow
Reviewed: 05-28-05
Glass Castle is a wonderful listen. Jeannette Walls crafts a story that opens up a world of intense struggle, pain, unconditional love, and addiction. As she tells us the honest story of life in the Walls houses, we learn about the horrifying conditions of the homeless or almost homeless. In the end, you care so much for four Walls children. I couldn't wait for the end to learn how they are doing today.

Love the content, not the reader
Reviewed: 03-15-05
The story is perfect Evanovich, but the reader is completely wrong for the story. She mades Stephanie seem old and goofy, not the character projected in the book. Her tone doesn't match the moods of the scene at all.
