Dirk Gently: The Long Dark Teatime of the Soul

Advantages: Great listen
Disadvantages: Other passengers will wonder why you are laughing

This is one of Douglas Adam's lesser known novels but just as good as the more well known Hitchhiker's series. If you have ever lived through the interminable time between teatime and supper on a Sunday afternoon you will identify with this book and enjoy it's amusing view of life. The author gently peels back the skin to give us an alternative view of the meaning of life and makes us laugh in the process. Audio books are always an enjoyable way ...

Grab a cup of tea and a biscuit and get comfy...

Advantages: AWESOME
Disadvantages: extremely long, may keep you from important engagements.

'The Hitchhikers Guide to the galaxy' is an indulgent treat for lovers of surreal comedy everywhere. If you have seen the film and thought it was good, you were wrong, and should definitely listen to the radio series or perhaps read the book. As the series was originally written for radio (radio 4 o be precise) the aural form is the form in which the tale is at its best. This is a hell of an audio book, so I'd advice ensuring that you don't start ...
...interviews. The series tells the story of a normal kind of chap, from a little planet called earth, who is rudely ripped from all that is safe and sane in to an adventure which spans universes and is so epic that it has ruined many a would be philosopher by providing the rather unlikely answer to 'the ultimate question'. Adams' ambitious, hilarious, mind expanding tale has been a favorite for years. This intelligent but ludicrous audio book is ...

Review of The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (The complete trilogy of 5 volumes) audiobook on 25 CDs - Douglas Adams

With help from my girlfriend

Advantages: Great method and format
Disadvantages: Mistakes

Great method of teaching and great format with the two students and one teacher. Very enjoyable to learn a language this way. But ..... there is a number of mistakes in the material. My girlfriend is Spanish and it was great to show off my newly learned phrases when talking to her on the phone or writing them in an e-mail or sms. However it was quite disheartening to hear that some of what I had learned was incorrect. For example, 'reservation' ...
...is simply taught wrongly. And the present perfect for 'escribir' is not 'escribido' but 'escrito'. Obviously my girlfriend has not listened to the full course, so I'm worried that there may be (many more) mistakes. So a great course and I feel I have learned a lot about the beautiful Spanish language, but only with the help of my girlfriend (who by the way is even more beautiful than her language). ...

Review of Michel Thomas Foundation Course: Spanish (Michel Thomas) - Michel Thomas

Harry Potter and the Philosophers stone is a fantastic story

Advantages: Fantastic story and briliantly writen
Disadvantages: Reader does not always do the story justice

This is a fantastic story and although it is fiction it is wonderfully discriptive and you can imagine all the character very vividly. It is fantastically read and easy to listen to and I would listen to it again and again. This story is a brilliant start to the series and garrenteed to get the reader hooked on it and for them to want to know what happens next. If you have seen the film you will still love the book and it is definately worth a listen. ...
