Would you consider the audio edition of Tested by Fire to be better than the print version?
All audiobooks are better than the printed version if only because they have greater depth. The narrators gave this one a lot of feeling in the characters and really brought them to life.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Tested by Fire?
The fight on the house boat but then there are so many fights it is hard to pick out the best one.
Which character – as performed by Joshua Bennington – was your favorite?
I loved the voices that Joshua Bennington gave the female characters. He seams to be able to bring them to life. I particularly liked the voice of his partner, Sharon.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I was moved when the little boy coughed up the obstruction from his trachea and could live for another day.
Any additional comments?
Loved the audiobook and would highly recommend it!

How can one pilot cram so much into a single lifetime? Climb into Captain Terry Reece's cockpit, fasten your seatbelt, and hold on for an exciting journey into the world of aviation. Born to a family of transplanted North Carolinians who moved to Washington State, a young Reece explored the hills of the Pacific Northwest. Hiking in the mountains and being a fire lookout gave him a taste of adventure, but he craved more-and he got it.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
YES, I like all audiobooks that I can turn off and then pick right up again when I next start to drive. The narrator's voice was an easy listen.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Adjuster Stories?
When the author got his speeding ticket. I have also received a ticket for going one mile over the speed limit.
Which character – as performed by Joshua Bennington – was your favorite?
The large lady who fell through the bath room floor. She was huffing and puffing just to tell her story. I could just see this character in my mind. BIG! Mr. Bennington gave her that voice of "I am soooo big I can hardly walk".
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

This audiobook is a delightful light-hearted tale about boating. It is the memoir of a lifelong boater, written from the perspective of a person who has not made a living at sea but is just there because he enjoys being on the water. The audiobook has stories about his pets on board and about the people he meets traveling the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) to the Gulf Intracoastal Waterways (GIWW). He traveled extensively for 10 years in a Grand Banks trawler. This journey has been just part of his lifelong boating adventures seeking that elusive boating paradise.

What did you love best about Boating: A Life's Journey?
I liked the stories told by the author about the places as he passed through them with his last boat.
What did you like best about this story?
The stories gave the areas he was telling about a personal touch. As when one visits a place and walks away with a story you would like to share with very one you meet.
Which character – as performed by Joshua Bennington – was your favorite?
The author, since there were few others in the book.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The story of the dealer ship, brought back all the bad feeling I got when we purchased our boat. We thought we were the only ones to go through that circus.
