Story
Izzie Silver left the small Irish town of Tamarin behind her for life in New York. She's big, beautiful, and dreams of her own model agency for plus-sized women (what her grandmother would call "healthy" women). Life is good - but she's just broken one of her cardinal rules and fallen for a married man.

I enjoyed this storyline and listened with interest as the characters evolved. I like the to and froing in lifetimes. But was disappointed with some outcomes ... but such is life!

Story
Connell and Marianne grow up in the same small town in rural Ireland. The similarities end there; they are from very different worlds. When they both earn places at Trinity College in Dublin, a connection that has grown between them lasts long into the following years. This is an exquisite love story about how a person can change another person's life - a simple yet profound realisation that unfolds beautifully over the course of the novel. It tells us how difficult it is to talk about how we feel and it tells us - blazingly - about cycles of domination, legitimacy and privilege.

I enjoyed the story which got me in totally. I couldn’t turn it off even though at times Conal and Maryann annoyed me with their to-ing and fro-ing, on again off again. The narrator was easy to listen to. The end was abrupt and I wanted it to go longer ... maybe a sequel?

Story
A masterpiece from the Orange Prize-winning, New York Times number one best-selling author of Commonwealth and Bel Canto: a story of love, family, sacrifice and the power of place. Lose yourself in the story of a lifetime – the unforgettable Sunday Times best seller. A story of two siblings, their childhood home and a past that they can’t let go. Like swallows, like salmon, we were the helpless captives of our migratory patterns.

I loved this story and it was made especially easy to keep listening to because ofTom Hanks narration as the main character. The variety of personalities in the story were interesting and kept me wondering about the outcome.

I enjoyed the story of The Last Paradise, the variety of characters, the reference to life in Bali past and present was interesting and informative and I listened to it for ages everyday. Disappointingly I did not enjoy the narrator’s performance so it was just as we’ll I liked the story.

Story
In 1994, fledgling journalist Louis Theroux was given a one-off gig on Michael Moore’s TV Nation, presenting a segment on apocalyptic religious sects. Gawky, socially awkward and totally unqualified, his first reaction to this exciting opportunity was panic. But he’d always been drawn to off-beat characters, so maybe his enthusiasm would carry the day. Or, you know, maybe it wouldn’t.... In his book, Louis takes the listener on a joyous journey through his life and unexpectedly successful career.

I have watched Louis Theroux programs for years and enjoyed his presentations if not always his topic. It was great to hear how his career evolved and progressed and that he has a good family life balance. Louis is very easy to listen too and I liked his story.
