    Twilight tempted the imagination . . . New Moon made readers thirsty for more . . . Eclipse turned the saga into a worldwide phenomenon . . . And now - the book that everyone has been waiting for . . . Breaking Dawn. In the much anticipated fourth book in Stephenie Meyer's love story, questions will be answered and the fate of Bella and Edward will be revealed.
    "Excellent book to listen to"

    Story

    the people who narrated the book Ilyana Kadushin & Matt Walters read the book perfectly without over acting. The story was very enjoyable to listen to even though I was hoping for more action at the end of the book with a fight like with the previous stories. Apart from that the end of the story was ok.

    Story

    When James Bowen found an injured, ginger street cat curled up in the hallway of his sheltered accommodation, he had no idea just how much his life was about to change. James was living hand to mouth on the streets of London and the last thing he needed was a pet. Yet James couldn't resist helping the strikingly intelligent tom cat, whom he quickly christened Bob. He slowly nursed Bob back to health and then sent the cat on his way, imagining he would never see him again. But Bob had other ideas.

    Story

    The story is well read and was very enjoyable to hear about the cat bob that would not leave his new owner James alone as bob wanted to be with all the time which made James life less lonely. The book also gives you a picture of what life is like living on the streets of London. Kris Milnes had a relaxing voice to listen to also unlike some Narrators I have heard in the past that I found very irritating to listen to.

    Story

    Jason Manford is firmly established as one of the country's favourite stand-ups and is up there with the best northern comedy legends. His career began one night in a pub in Chorlton when a comedian didn't arrive for his set and Jason, the 17-year-old glass collector stepped in to fill the gap. From that point on he's never looked back, until now that is.... This is the story in his own words of everything that lead up to that fateful moment - a colourful tale of growing up with lots of family and not enough money, of getting by and sticking together.

    Jason's biography was excellent, read by the man himself made it more enjoyable as he told his life story which is very funny in parts. It is well worth listening to.

    He may live in Madrid but he continues to make front-page headlines. This is David Beckham's own story of his career to date, for Manchester United, Real Madrid, and England, and of his childhood, family, and private life.

    Story

    I LOVED LISTENING MY SIDE BY DAVID BECKHAM AND THE READER TOM WATT MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE DAVID IS READING THE BOOK HIMSELF. THE BOOK IS WELL WRITTEN AND SPOKEN IN MY OPINION AND A PLEASURE FOR FOOTY FANS TO LISTEN TO ABOUT DAVID'S CAREER AND TIME SPENT IN THE ENGLAND FOOTBALL TEAM.

    Forty years ago, Harriet Vanger disappeared from a family gathering. Her body was never found, yet her uncle is convinced it was murder - and that the killer is a member of his own family. He employs journalist Mikael Blomkvist and the tattooed, truculent computer hacker Lisbeth Salander to investigate. When the pair link Harriet's disappearance to a number of grotesque murders from forty years ago, they begin to unravel a dark and appalling family history.

    Story

    After all the press saying how good the book was I thought it was going to be more action packed and more interesting, I did enjoy the story but felt it was long winded most of the time. Greg Iles does better stories. The next 2 books in the series are pretty similar in ways.
