Skeecher's no lace the greatest

I had bought a pair of the white no lace Skeechers. When I saw the tan ones at Amazon and even cheaper than I paid, I jumped at the chance. I only wish for them in black & brown.

I am a huge fan of this song, ever since seeing it performed by Paul Newman in Cool Hand Luke.

This version is classic and folkie; as it should be.

I used to watch this show weekly when I wasn't doing anything more important and I enjoyed it quite a lot. With the lack of quality programming nowdays this has become a classic. Chris Wiggins reminds me so much of Donald Pleasence...either of those two could have played Jack Marshack, and either could have played Dr. Loomis (Halloween). I might be getting off-track here, but let me say that I consider Louise Robey to be quite a beautiful woman. I cannot imagine any other female taking her place in this program. The director may have gone a bit overboard with some of Robey's outfits in the first season, but that didn't detract from her beauty; and in the second season the outfits were all very tasteful. I won't list favorite episodes since I consider all of them to be great and I don't want to detract from the entire package. I have bought the first two seasons already and I hope the third season is also released since the only other way of getting it is to buy the whole set from the bootleggers. I don't want to rebuy seasons one and two just to get season three.

Parker's delghtful character descriptions plus Burt Reynolds reading would be a must even without a plot--So far--Hush Money is our favorite.  And Burt Reynolds is magnificent with each character he reads.

I fell in love with this story as a child when I purchased the Junior Classics Illustrated comic book version, which I read weekly. (I hope to find a copy soon as the drawings have remained in my mind all these many years later).  The colume I have has navy blue covers and says on the spine: Lorna Doone- A Romanve of Exmoor.  There is no print date inside but the title page gives the title, subtitle, author's name followed by "Designed to be read as a modern novel".  Below this it says The Book League of America with New York under that.  There are 378 pages, some written phonetically as local dialect of the times, and thus harder to read than other parts.  However, when you have fallen in love with a story at a young, impressionable age, it remains with you (as has my love of the novel "Yankee Stranger" which was the first book I ever took out of a library).  Anyway, Lorna Doone is a love story - a forbidden love if Carver Doone, the antagonist, is to be believed.  However, John Ridd has loved Lorna from the first moment he saw her by a stream and their love never died, despite trials and much aggravation by Carver Doone.  There are some unexpected twists and turns about Lorna, involving a rich family and the then King of England.  I am as pleased with the book - and the story- as I was with the Classics Illustrated Junior version of my youth.  For some reason, as a child, I thought the story took place in Scotland, but reading the novel shows it did not.  I am so pleased with the book and its beautiful story that I bought the Lorna Doone CD (1990 version) with Clive Owen as John Ridd and Sean Bean as Carver Doone -  both so young and incredibly handsome and each fitting his part well, with Polly Walker as Lorna. IF you like stories of romances that rise and survive in the face of great difficulty, I recommend all of the versions I have mentioned above.

Lewis Carroll has the real knack of using words in such a delightful way that it tickles the imaginative palate no matter what subject he deals with. My favourite among his writings is Alice in Wonderland. I read and reread this work until I have lost count of how many times. The other works are delightful too but Alice is my pet among all his works.

If you love the book, you will LOVE this version.  It is narrated by Truman Capote himself.  And is almost verbatim from the short story - nothing extra, no bells and whistles.  Just a perfect story.  The black and white film makes it so dream-like and Geeraldine Page is EXACTLY what I imagined Sook to be like.  (Patty Duke's version sucks, sorry but it does.)

Here's one more truly enjoyable story of a race horse, long before Seabiscuit.  Those who loved Hildebrand's book will also love this one.  It captures the times in the early 20th century in a most capable and readable way.  It's high time this horse has been given recognition.  The book reads very well and though non fiction, it's one you won't want to put down.  Most highly recommended.

Alice the rabbit slayer is one of the absolute  best stories, I have ever come across. The dialect and imagination  it takes to imagine  a world so horrific yet intriguing is just remarkable!

I have read Shadowfever and loved the book.  An even bigger treat was listening to the Audiobook.  Natalie Ross and Phil Gigante do an amazing job of narration.  You feel as if you are in the middle of the action all of the time.  I will listen to it again for sure!

I would absolutely recommend this audiobook to my friends. I adore this book. The story was so good. I could close my eyes and visualize the setting, the characters, the entire feel of the story.
I don't off-hand know of other books I would compare this to. Maybe, but only maybe Piers Anthony whom I read when I was younger. This is much, much better though in my opinion.  Or maybe even The Hobbit.
I"ve listened to other works by Wayne Farrell and I think he's a wonderful voice actor. He's one of my favorites. If someone is reading this who hasn't listened to his work I would highly recommend giving it a listen.
This book was pure enjoyment. It was like a movie. The characters were really vivid and the descriptions placed me at the scenes. This was a super listen.
I can't wait until the next audiobook in the Tormay Trilogy becomes available. I will definitely want to listen to it.

I have been a Peter Pan fan since childhood. I was interested in this book but never got around to reading it. I picked up the audioversion recently when I saw the story was read by Jim Dale! Thank goodness I waited for Jim Dale. This is probably one of the best books I have ever listened to. Dale is the genius who reads the Harry Potter series.

His performance of Peter and the Starcatchers is sublime (causing wonder or astonishment,) amazing, astounding, awesome, fabulous, miraculous, stunning, and stupendous. His voicing, pacing (never-rushed,) and narration are perfection.

As a kid, I was never comfortable with Barrie's version of Peter's origins. This book gives a very satisfactory explanation of how Peter came to be Peter Pan. Purists may have some problems with the plot but I thought it was great fun.

Peter is the leader of a rag-tag group of orphans trapped on a derelict ship called The Neverland. They are enroute to becoming servants (slaves) to King Zarboff the Third. Another young passenger, Molly Aster, is guarding a mysterious chest in the ship's hold. The mystery of the chest's contents and its unusual effect on people and animals is at the heart of the story. When Peter sees a flying rat in the hold he wants to know what is in the box. Molly is doing her best to thwart him. Then pirates attack the ship and Molly must turn to Peter to help her keep it out of their hands.

Beautiful mermaids with teeth like sharks, scary flying crocodiles and island "savages" are also after the power in the chest. Peter, Molly and the boys must do everything they can to save it.

I thoroughly enjoyed each traditional element of the story as it was revealed.

How did Peter learn to fly?

What happened to Capt. Hook's hand?

Who were the lost boys?

Where did Tinkerbell come from?

Give the book a listen. I do not think you will be disappointed.

I purchased this Ultimate Edition after receiving another edition by DigiView in Oct 2005.

Lon Chaney is truly magnificent!!

This Phantom is better than the newest movie and the other version with Claude Rains.

Over the Hedge is absolutely excellent. Vocal performances coordinate with animated characters perfectly. Bruce Willis is terrific as RJ, the opportunistic racoon and Nick Nolte is hilarious as the bear ripped off by RJ. Precious animal characters combine with suburban satire to make this one satisfying for kids and adults. Caution: the bear is a little scary for children under 3. P.S. My favorite character is the turtle voiced by Gary Shandling. Highly Recommended!!!

One of the greatest stories of american literature.  This is unabridged and uses the "n" word frequently.  My teenage son and I have listened to this version dozens of times.  We are not racist, we respect everyone, and have come to love the slave Jim.  What sets this version apart from all others is the many voices developed by the narrater Patrick Fraley.

Darby Conley creates a masterpiece with Bucky and Satchel.  Their antics brighten lives of all ages.  I have given "The Dog Is Not a Toy: House Rule #4" to young friends and they cannot wait for the next book to arrive, nor can they resist quoting from this one.  The bottom line is Darby Conley's imagination is refreshing and hilarious. Bucky's "rotten kitty" image and Satchel's "happy about nothing" personality are teamed up for a great laugh.
