The Gift
by Richard Paul Evans
There is no hurt so great that love cannot heal it.
Nathan Hurst hated Christmas. For the rest of the world it was a day of joy and celebration; for Nathan it was simply a reminder of the event that destroyed his childhood until a snowstorm, a cancelled flight and an unexpected meeting with a young mother and her very special son would show him that Christmas is indeed the season of miracles....

    The Politically Incorrect Guide to Darwin and Intelligent Design
    by Jonathan, Ph.d. Wqells

    Are you interested in the controversy over Darwin and intelligent design? Yes? Then don't listen to this audio book, you will be very much disappointed if you do. Why? Because you will find very little useful information on the subject. Instead, you'll be listening for hours and hours of resentful complains of the poor ID supporters over bad Darwin guys. Very few scientific arguments from either side are presented in this rowdy audio book.   Don't listen to a sample   Don't buy this audio book

    MP3 AUDIO BOOKS - TO READ, OR NOT TO LISTEN

    got hooked on audio books - I got hooked on audiobooks...
    - I love audio books... or do I really?
    - Tastes differ. I don’t like audio books. Neither do I like screen versions. I prefer my own imagination to envision personalities, and not the narrator's interpretation. I have a very different idea about the voice, accent and intonation of the characters. There is no excitement in audio books for me. Read more about audio books...

    GOLDEN VOICES - WHOM TO LISTEN TO
    Golden voice of George Guidall It may not be very important to many, but some people pay great attention to the artistic skills of the narrator. Once, when we discussed films, my friend told me that he usually makes his choice by the actors. If his favorite actors are starring in a movie, he goes to see it or rents a DVD. The same might be true for audio books. There are performers whose voices are considered golden. Some readers look for the next book to listen by the name of the narrator. We've compiled a list of the most famous golden performers, their discographies and audio samples of their voices.

    Listen to the voice of George Guidal

    The narrator with a thick Boston accent.

    Listeners say: haha, but, of course! i LISTENED to the nineteen eighty-four by george orwell narrated by frank muller in the spring of 2005; i remember all the scenes vividly and his emphatic narration, so emphatic in fact that you start to relive those scenes together with the storyteller; btw, it was a great listen
