| 2. |  | Jesus: A Story of Enlightenment
from BBC Audiobooks America
Price: $19.77
Customer Review:
I have admired Deepak for years, however he should stick to what he knows and that means no more novels. Ditto on reading them himself. Yawn...
I also bought Buddha for a drive to FL and back but I probably will never listen to it now. Jesus was the most boring dribble I think I ever wasted 9... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 3. | ![]() | The Unbearable Lightness of Being (Isis)
from ISIS Audio Books
Price: $69.95
Customer Review:
I was introduced to this book by a boy in college. I am eternally grateful to him for facilitating my discovery of Milan Kundera and his works.
Kundera has a spooky ability to narrate the inner world of women. I love the philosophical edge of his writing. I have read nearly every novel written... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 4. |  | Death with Interruptions
from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
Price: $15.57
Customer Review:
I'm usually one who leans more towards fiction with a specific, central story about a particular character(s). This was my first time reading Saramago and after about 50 pages into the book, I discovered that this wasn't that kind of fiction. Although at times, the book had a tendency to become... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 5. |  | The Ultimate Gift
from Executive Books
Customer Review:
THE ULTIMATE GIFT is a thought-provoking story of personal growth. While the motivations are superficial (earning a stake in a large bequest), the changes in qualities of character are real. On the down side, some readers will find it a bit too pat. It's really a 21th century version of the old... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 6. |  | Case Histories
from Ulverscroft Large Print
Customer Review:
I read for story. If characters are developed it's a definite plus. If the writing is interesting and gets to the point with an economy of useful words, I'm hooked. I was hooked on this story (stories) and finished it in three days. Then I went out and got "When Will There Be Good News". If your... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 7. |  | Second Glance: A Novel
from Atria
Price: $48.00
Customer Review:
This book was a different direction for this author but a slam dunk for the first time stepping out of her realm. Picoult had different twists and turns in these story lines that all came in and tied together at the end. Every time I thought I knew what was going on or what was going to happen I was... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 8. |  | The Celestine Prophecy
from Warner Books, Inc.
Price: $11.16
Customer Review:
I was given 2 copies of this book, because it was popular at the time and it was my birthday. The writing was very poor. The ideas in the book had such great potential to be a good story, but I couldn't get past the poor writing. Also, there isn't anything new in the book that hasn't been expounded... more info | 3.0 / 5.0

| 9. |  | The Gargoyle
from Doubleday
Price: $15.57
Customer Review:
Simply awe-inspiring. Did you like Stephane Meyer's "The Host"? Not really similar in style but in the effect. Breathtaking. I applaud Andrew Davidson on this masterpiece and I will buy every book he writes after this if they even come close to the quality of The Gargoyle. I read it in a day-I... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 10. |  | The Other
from Knopf
Price: $16.47
Customer Review:
My mother recommended this book, and while our tastes are somewhat different (I tend towards the German tradition, she towards French) I decided to give it a go. From what she told me, the book seemed to touch on a Romantic literary tradition, albeit with skepticism, so it might be of interest to... more info | 3.0 / 5.0
