I could not wait to receive my audio books and when they arrived, I enjoyed every one of them. My daughters are now listening to the set.
Love the books, not the reader  by .. Danielle Hall (Salt Lake City, UT)
I have to say first that I absolutely love, love the books! I ordered these for my husband so he would read them. He's not a big reader so he likes audio books. He kind of felt left out of my obsession and wanted to know what the books were all about.
I listened to Twilight before I gave them to him and I have to say, I really don't like Ilayana Kadushin. I don't feel that she captures the emotions and personalities very well. She is sometimes mono-tone and emotionless. My husband agrees. He had a hard time distinguishing between dialouge and narration. I didn't have that problem having already read the book.
Overall, I would recommend this if you prefer audiobooks. Good or bad narration, it's worth listening to the story!
twilight by .. M. Majed ()
this series is amazing whether you listen to it on audio or read the books yourself
Love It!! by .. M. DEBRUYN ()
I read all four of the books before hand and love them all. I started reading them a second time around but I really didn't have the time so I ordered this. Best price I could find, and arrived really sooner than expected. When I first started listening it was a bit odd, when the woman did Edward's voice I kept thing of him as a she. So that through me, but after awhile got used to it. The only complant I've got is the boxes aren't numbered, you have to open each one up a find the next disc. A bit annoying when you want a certin part of the book.
Twilight,New Moon,Eclipse,Breaking Dawn~Best Books EVER!! by .. Shannon Chandler (Georgia)
These books by far are the most mesmermizing books I have ever read. I bought the CD's because I am a calligrapher so I could listen while I addressed wedding invitations. I also had the hardcover books. I found myself following along or just reading the books... They are so awesome. I cried,laughed,lusted ~every emotion is packed into these books. You simply CAN NOT put them down. I am almost grateful I didn't find out about them until after the last book was released because I would have went OUT OF MY MIND if I would of had to wait for a another book to be released. I have since re-read these books 2 times. I find myself working & parts will pop into my head & I will want to read those parts over or the whole book again. You will totally not be sorry if you are a fan of LOVE if you get these books. I hope you to will fall in love with Edward & Bella the way we all have. (I would NOT suggest seeing the movie first.) While the movie is a decent representation, that I have actually scene twice now because "hot" Robert P. is Edward it does deviate from the story a bit. HAPPY READING or LISTENING!!! If you are listening~ you will be happy Ilyana K. does an AWESOME job reading these books on CD. She was very believable!

Saved the day for me by .. Patricia L. Marks (Morristown, N.J. United States)
Recently I had eye surgery and was not able to see at all for a month. During that time I enjoyed these Poirot mysteries. He is already a favorite of mine. It was a lifesaver for me to have these audio stories available.Perhaps you might enjoy listening on your way to work, or know a person with vision loss who might love to hear of these Poirot escapades.
Hercule Poirot at his best! by .. Lena Svensson (Broby, Skåne Sweden)
This is a great audiobook that contains several mindboggling mysteries! David Suchet is the best man for this job so to speak since he portraited Hercule Poirot in the tv-sent shows.
His interpretation of Hercule Poirot, the voice and everything makes one feel like ones there just beside them!
I highly recommend this one!

Product Description "The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated." -- Mark TwainMark Twain (1835-1910) was the first American writer to capture the unique and colorful vernacular of his country's populace. Instead of striving to perfect any particular literary form, Twain strove to precisely imprint on paper the colloquial speech, mannerisms and experiences of the American people. Twain's books earned him an enduring reputation as a satirist and humorist, but he also wrote great short stories. These stories, with their wonderful characters and witty turns-of-phrase, have defined in Americans' minds what it means to have been at a time in our country which was at once optimistic, exploratory and recklessly exploitative. Listeners can still benefit today from hearing Mark Twain's stories and selections from his novels as they become again what they originally were: the oral history of our uniquely American consciousness. Includes selections from Life on the Mississippi, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Roughing It, and The Autobiography of Mark Twain, and the short stories The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County, The £1,000,000 Bank-Note, The Joke That Made Ed's Fortune, A Dog's Tale, A Story Without an End and many more. Performed by Ed Begley, Sr., Walter Brennan, Brandon de Wilde, Will Geer, and David Wayne Customer reviews Stories from another era by .. Big Jon (U.S. Army)
This collection presents a few of your favorite Clemens stories, just as they must have been read aloud by generations of enthralled readers. I enjoyed it greatly and wish the rest of his works were offered in the exact same format.
Some stories great, some not so well done. by .. G. Kochanski (Oxford, UK)
Life on the Mississippi is done wonderfully.
The Jumping Frog of Calveras County is done
with such an affected "old codger" accent that
it's not funny at all, which is almost impossible
for that story. Everything else spans the
range.
The CD is a compilation of several actors,
which doubtless explains the variability.

Customer reviews Didn't appeal to my kids - ages 2 & 4 by .. A. CELIS (Bay Area, United States)
I bought the cd's first. When I first played the book 1, my 2 kids (ages 2 & 4) didn't show too much interest in listening. So I thought maybe with the books, they would show interest. So I bought the books 1-4. As soon as I receive the books, I sat with them, read with them (translate the words, too - we are bi-lingual). I was a bit disappointed because there were less pictures that I expected. They showed interest at first, but they got bored later on. Don't get me wrong, they were great stories. Maybe the text in the book were too much, and not have enough pictures. Or maybe my kids were too young and didn't understand much. I saved the books and cd, and I'm planning to give it to a 6 year old cousin.
amazing! by .. E. Kyle (Shippensburg, PA USA)
I originally got one of the stories from a Wendy's kids meal. My daughters, 2 and 5, loved listening to it in the car so much that I decided to buy more. It makes running errands and the drive to grandma's sooo much better. The Wendy's CD also had a song from Magic Tree House the Musical. My 2 year old would ask for "the pirate song" over and over again so I bought that CD as well. They LOVE it. So I recommend that too for any MTH fans out there.
best gift ever by .. J. L. Goggin ()
I usually just read reviews, not write them but I thought this warranted the time. We bought this for our five year old daughter for Christmas last year. She liked them but my three year old son has gone nuts over them! He will listen to them everyday for hours at a time. He can even recite parts of them. It's amazing. He loves all of the adventures. I must say, I haven't gotten tired of them either which I can't say of most kid CDs. Mary Pope Osbornes voice is quite calm and soothing. I highly recommend these CDs. They are great for nap time or quiet time. I just ordered the next two sets for him for his birthday and Christmas. I hope he likes them as much as the originals.
My 4 yr old LOVES these!!!!!! by .. Delia 8 (Upstate NY)
Granted my 4 yr old is a book-aholic, but these are by far her favorite! She will listen to these in one sitting if I will let her. We checked them out at the library and inside of 2 weeks, we listened to them 5 times. Needless to say, I decided she needed her own set, so she will be getting this and books 9-16 for christmas. Oh and by the way, this is a great price. They sell for $33 at borders in my neck of the woods.
Great for the imagination! by .. N. Scott ()
My daughter (8) loves listening to these stories! It helps her concentration and encourages her to be more imaginative and descriptive in telling her own stories. A lot of fun to listen to together!

Product Description Dance Upon the Air: When Nell Channing arrives on charming Three Sisters Island, she believes that she's finally found refuge from her abusive husband - and from the terrifying life she fled so desperately eight months ago . . . But even in this quiet, peaceful place, Nell never feels entirely at ease. Careful to conceal her true identity, she takes a job as a cook at the local bookstore café - and begins to explore her feelings for the island sheriff, Zack Todd. But there is a part of herself she can never reveal to him - for she must continue to guard her secrets if she wants to keep the past at bay. One careless word, one misplaced confidence, and the new life she's so carefully created could shatter completely. Just as Nell starts to wonder if she'll ever be able to break free of her fear, she realizes that the island suffers from a terrible curse - one that can only be broken by the descendants of the Three Sisters, the witches who settled the island back in 1692. And now, with the help of two other strong, gifted women - and the nightmares of the past haunting her every step - she must find the power to save her home, her love . . . and herself . . . Heaven and Earth: Ripley Todd just wants to live a quiet, peaceful kind of life. Her job as a sheriff's deputy keeps her busy and happy, and she has no trouble finding men when she wants them - which, lately, isn't all that often. She's perfectly content, except for one thing: she has special powers that both frighten and confuse her - and though she tries hard to hide them, she can't get them under control... Distraction soon arrives in the handsome form of MacAllister Booke - a researcher who's come to investigate the rumors of witchcraft that haunt Three Sisters Island. Right from the start, he knows there's something extraordinary about Ripley Todd. Face the Fire: Mia Devlin knows what it is like to love with your whole heart - and then watch your love walk away. Years ago, she and Sam Logan shared an incredible bond built on passion, legend, and fate. But then one day he fled Three Sisters Island, leaving her lost in memories of the magic they shared - and determined to live without love. The new owner of the island's only hotel, Sam has returned to Three Sisters with hopes of winning back Mia's affections. He is puzzled when she greets him with icy indifference - for the chemistry between them is still sizzling and true. Angry, hurt and deeply confused, Mia refuses to admit that a passion for Sam still burns in her heart. But she'll need his help - and his powers - to face her greatest, most terrifying challenge. And as the deadline for breaking a centuries-old curse draws near, they must take the first steps toward destiny - and come together to turn back the dark... Customer reviews Great gift for sight impaired by .. StyleBam ()
I bought this for my grandmother who can't read novels anymore because she is going blind. She loves Nora Roberts and she says the stories are very exciting and interesting.
A good series by .. Cool Grandma ()
I purchased these three novels separately, but read them in sequence. I wasn't expecting to like them as much as I did, as I thought I would find the witch aspect a little silly or offensive, but it was done in good taste. I enjoyed the love stories, as well as the suspense. The characters were likeable. Nell made me want to protect her, and had me staying up late to see what happened to her. Ripley and Mac were just enjoyable characters - an unlikely but cute match. Mia and Sam were the typical star crossed lovers but their problems did get a little tedious at times. Perhaps this was just because it was the third book in a row about the same characters.

Days with Frog and Toad Customer reviews My daughter loves these CD's by .. juliec (denver, co)
These are great CD's. My 4-year old daughter loves Frog and Toad. Someone gave her the book series for Christmas, which she now keeps in the car where we listen to Frog and Toad. The CD's don't have the beep to turn the pages (since they don't actually come with the books) but she's able to keep up. The voices are great. When I ordered this from Amazon it was missing 1 of the CD's but they were great with the exchange and replaced it immediatetly.
Excellent by .. S. Sullivan (Evanston, IL)
These stories are classics, very well read by the author Arnold Lobel. My four-year-old loves them and demands them over and over.
perfect for long rides by .. Kate (Gaylord, MI United States)
My three year old loves frog and toad, so I recently purchased the CD's for a trip. They were so entertaining to my son that he asked to listen to them nonstop. Sometimes he followed along in his book; sometimes he just listened. He can now "read" the stories verbatum, because he has listened to them so many times.
We love Frog and Toad stories by .. Nancy C. Hebert (New Orleans, LA)
My son listens intently to this CD. His teacher in school plays these during nap time for those who choose not to sleep. He is very interested in all the stories even though he has heard them numerous times. We love this CD.
Great stories for smart kids. by .. Gregory Mills (Berkeley)
The expression on the faces of my three and five year old as they puzzle, smile and nod over the adventures of Frog and Toad is something I think I'll carry with me for a long time. The kids are fully engaged with the audio CD, and can now follow along with the printed words when I read the same stories to them from the Frog and Toad books.
While Arnold Lobel has a calm, kid friendly reading voice, he never panders or talks down to the kids. I like that. I also appreciate the gentle, absurd wit that Lobel weaves into these stories. I'm not kidding when I say that I could see the skeleton of a Seinfeld plot in some of these stories. Makes it easier for an adult in the car to listen to, that's for sure.

Product Description Desert Death Song
Powder Basin - the broken, rugged country at the edge of a dry, forbidding desert - holds more hiding places than most men could find. Nat Bodine knows most of them; holed up in the Basin hills by a posse of over a hundred men, he needs them more than ever before. Jim Morton knows that if anyone is going to escape this posse, it's Bodine, just as he knows that Bodine is the kind of man who wouldn't commit the crime of which he's accused - and who, if forced, would seek his freedom in the savage desert sands. Man Riding West
Jim Gary had always tried to avoid trouble. But after he is forced to kill a Mexican gunman in a cantina showdown, trouble seems to seek him out. A shoot-out with the gunman's vengeful outlaw buddies sends Jim on the run, with an unwanted reputation as a dangerous gunslinger. And when he hires on as a cowhand for a friend, Jim risks being strung up as a rustler and murderer--unless he can use his wits as quickly as his guns.

He would be completely normal if he didn't live in a sprawling graveyard, being raised and educated by ghosts, with a solitary guardian who belongs to neither the world of the living nor of the dead. There are dangers and adventures in the graveyard for a boy. But if Bod leaves the graveyard, then he will come under attack from the man Jack—who has already killed Bod's family . . . Beloved master storyteller Neil Gaiman returns with a luminous new novel for the audience that embraced his New York Times bestselling modern classic Coraline. Magical, terrifying, and filled with breathtaking adventures, The Graveyard Book is sure to enthrall readers of all ages. Customer reviews Perfect! by .. Happy 2 B Me ()
What a wonderful story. I LOVED it! I listened to the audio version, read by Gaiman himself and it was Perfect in every way. I wany MORE of this story. This is a story I plan to listen to or read every year. Wonderful! Even better than Coraline or Stardust (if that's even possible!!).
Read, listen and share this wonderful, wonderful MASTERFUL story. Thank you again Neil Gaiman for reminding me what a great storyteller you are and (hopefully) will continue to be for many years!
Amazing!
Graveyard Book Junkie by .. EEH (PA)
Our family waited for this book for several years after hearing an interview with the author by his daughter that was included on a collection of stories for children on CD. It was worth the wait. Neil Gaiman's reading is engaging and entertaining. The only reason I've given the review 4 stars instead of 5 is due to the packaging. The adhesive that secures the slots for holding the CDs left goo on the edge and outer surfaces of the disks, which interfered with the playability.
Beautifully Read by .. Adam B. Shaeffer (Biola University)
Some authors shouldn't be the one to read for their audiobooks, but Neil Gaiman is not one of them. His reading brings the story into vibrant life, making the humor funnier, the tension thicker, and the tender moments more touching. I have never bought a book and considered buying the audio version as well--it has always been one or the other--until now. I can't recommend The Graveyard Book or its audio version highly enough. In fact, I think I'll start listening to it again right now.

Product Description Two great Patricia Cornwell audio titles for the price of one. All that Remains and Cruel and Unusual. All that Remains: A serial killer is loose in Richmond, specializing in attractive young couples whose bodies are invariably found in the woods months later –– minus their shoes and socks. Chief Medical Officer Dr. Kay Scarpetta finds herself tracking a killer who scrupulously eliminates every clue, rendering all her forensic skills useless. This time it's her courage and intuition on the line in a race against time. Cruel and Unusual: When convicted killer Ronnie Joe Waddell is executed in Virginia's electric chair, he becomes what should be a routine case for Chief Medical Examiner Kay Scarpetta. But after Waddell's execution, everyone connected to him begins to die – including a member of Scarpetta's staff. When crucial records disappear from her files, Scarpetta comes under fire for incomeptence. Caught in a web of political intrigue, she must fight to free herself from murderous insinuations and threats to her own life. She soon finds herself retracing Waddell's bloody footprints, following a trail that might lead to long–hidden secrets deep within the state government. Either the truth will set her free – or unleash upon her a punishment both cruel and unusual. Customer reviews Christmas Buyer by .. Anne M. Woods (USA)

Patricia Cornwell on CD by .. K. Temple ()
I listened to these CDs on a recent trip and was very pleased. They are well done, hold your interest and are well-spoken. I thoroughly enjoyed them.
Murder Thriller by .. Rene Henderson (Muscle Shoals, AL)
I found these stories lacking. My sister has the unabridged version and she says they are much better. My advise is to be careful and buy only unabridged versions.
Remaining Unusual by .. Laura M. Sasser (Pensacola, FL USA)
An absolutly enjoyable read/listen. Great entertainment! Hard to put down because you want to keep going!
review  by .. H. Smith ()
I didn't listen to the book because it was abridged. I detest abridged books so I gave it away. Next time I will be more careful about what I buy, and examine the fine print before purchasing.

Product Description Includes Keillor's own favorite stories from his years as a contributor to The New Yorker and his bestselling books. Customer reviews First time listening-now a fan by .. C. Spencer (Colorado Springs, CO United States)
I received this audiobook as a gift. And what a gift it was! I thouroughly enjoyed all of the stories, especially "Meeting Famous People" and "The Babe." These are all warm, witty stories, and Keillor's voice is wonderful to listen to. I am looking forward to hearing some of his other works.
Not his best work by .. ()
Don't get me wrong; I would still rather listen to this than any other storyteller alive today, but there are plenty of things in my opinion that have come out of Keillor's brain that are vastly superior. Only if you have to have everything by this brilliant mind will you want this.
As mentioned, it is abridged and not live by .. ()
Perhaps, and indeed probably, I am greatly spoiled by Keillor's stories. As a result, I don't like changes, such as the lack of a live audience which I think Keillor feeds off of. However, it must be said that there are stories here that only Garrison Keillor could possibly come up with and that is by no means nothing.
