Meanwhile, Lincoln O’Neill still can’t believe that it’s his job to monitor other people’s e-mail.

Story
Matthew King was once considered one of the most fortunate men in Hawaii. His missionary ancestors who came to the islands were financially and culturally progressive - one even married a Hawaiian princess, making Matt a royal descendant and one of the state’s largest landowners. But now his luck has changed. His two daughters are out of control - 10-year-old Scottie has a smart-ass attitude and a desperate need for attention and 17-year-old Alex is a recovering drug addict.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Descendants to be better than the print version?
Do not know, haven't read the print version.
What about Jonathan Davis’s performance did you like?
His tone and his exuberance.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
All books I want to listen to in one sitting, so, I guess that yes would be my answer.
Any additional comments?
Good book with every emotion known to us throughout its pages. To learn about this family with its trials and tribulations, its loves and losses, brought you into their world and made you smile, laugh, cry, and care. The way he dealt with his personal issues was truly awe inspiring and how he tried and succeeded in his understanding of the people who came into their lives for whatever reason was what each of us should strive for in our own dealings with others.

Story
Sarno's casinos - and his ideas about how to build casinos - created the template for Las Vegas today. Before him, Las Vegas meant dealers in string ties and bland, functional architecture. He taught the city how to dress up its hotels in fantasy, putting toga dresses on cocktail waitresses and making sure that even the stationery carried through with the theme. He saw Las Vegas as a place where ordinary people could leave their ordinary lives and have extraordinary adventures.

Kind of a Disappointment for the King
Reviewed: 12-28-14
What would have made Revival better?
A plot or a reason for the Pastor to do what he did
What was most disappointing about Stephen King’s story?
Not one of his better efforts. I kept listening for the King's way of writing in this story but never heard it. Been a fan forever and am sad to say this is not one of his better efforts.
Have you listened to any of David Morse’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No. He gave a fine performance.
What character would you cut from Revival?
None. maybe added one or two more.

Try a little harder Mr. K. I know you can do better. Also, get back to The Dark Tower Series. We are all still waiting.

STOP. You should not have touched this flyer with your bare hands. NO, don't put it down. It's too late. They're watching you. My name is David Wong. My best friend is John. Those names are fake. You might want to change yours. You may not want to know about the things you'll read on these pages, about the sauce, about Korrok, about the invasion, and the future. But it's too late. You touched the book. You're in the game. You're under the eye. The only defense is knowledge. You need to read this book, to the end. Even the part with the bratwurst. Why?

Would you try another book from David Wong and/or Stephen R. Thorne?

What was most disappointing about David Wong’s story?
Very tedious, repetitive, and nonsensical. It was hard to listen to and keep up with whatever the storyline was.
What aspect of Stephen R. Thorne’s performance would you have changed?
None, the narrator was the best part of the book.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
None that I could hear.

This has to be the worse book that I have ever listened to and since I have listened to many, many, many audio books and have read tons of books, it finally had to happen.
