Paths Of Glory is a semi-biographical story of George Mallory and his attempt to be the first person ever to climb to the top of Mt. Everest. The story covers a thirty-two year period of George Mallory’s life beginning, of course, with his childhood and ending with his third, and un-known to him-his final attempt to climb Mt Everest in 1924 aged thirty-seven. Unfortunately it shall always remain a mystery as to whether the real George Mallory ever achieved this goal as he was last seen four hundred feet from the top.

Jeffrey Archer manages to go into great detail about Mallory’s life, being careful not to miss out a single, important moment. He finds a way to mix fact with fiction that works extremely well. Archer covers each part of Mallory’s life including his relationship with his father who always encouraged his love for climbing and adventure and his school years when climbing took a back seat to education until he found friends with and equal amount of enthusiasm for climbing. Although Archer does go into great detail, I also liked how he leaves the reader wanting to find out more about George Mallory and his exciting life, especially his mysterious disappearance.

The audio-book version of Archer’s story works very well. His language is descriptive and interesting and this comes across quite nicely. Roger Allam does a very good job with the narration and keeping the novel alive and exciting, perhaps more so than in its original book form.

New Moon tells a story of losing love as Edward tries to protect Bella by leaving the town of Forks after an incident at her birthday party. Bella seeks comfort in a new friendship, but her new companion, Jacob, turns out to have secrets of his own. Listeners might detect echoes of the classic love story Romeo and Juliet in this second book of Meyer’s series, intended to reflect the protagonists’ plight as ’star-crossed lovers’.

This audio adaptation of a best selling book has much to recommend it and the seductive narrative is sure to delight listeners. Faithfully bringing each unique character to life, the engaging storyline is well suited to Kadushin’s voice and for fans of Twilight Saga, New Moon will not disappoint. The plot twists and stunningly original storylines will keep you hooked on this popular series and leave you hungry for the next installment. The overarching theme of the book, namely love and its ability to overcome obstacles, will appeal to a wide variety of listeners by allowing anyone to relate to characters living what might, on the surface, seem drastically different from our own lives. New Moon builds on the success of Twilight and more than deserves the hype.

I was particularly pleased with the final day, day 10, which talked about both persistence as well as the ability to take ‘no’ for an answer. This is advice that pretty much every deluded individual taking part in a TV Talent Show should take as knowing your limits and knowing when to accept defeat are an important part of business as much as they are of life in general.

On the other hand week 2 presents you with some scenarios which are easier said than done, and no matter how many times some people are encouraged to conquer their fears and banish their restrictive demons it’s just not going to happen. Perhaps this series should feature a suffix that reminds shoppers that willpower and a certain amount of talent are required for real success. However, overall this week has proved to be a strong and useful continuation of what is shaping up to be a significantly interesting series of audio books.

Duncan Bannatyne tells his story beautifully and articulately and leaves nothing out of his colourful and exciting life, from the business aspects to the more personal parts of his life. Listening to this book will not necessarily turn you into a millionaire, but it will certainly give you the determination and drive you need if you wish to change your life. In this book he tells how anyone can get to where he is today which makes the listener feel incredibly motivated.

Anyone Can Do It works incredibly well in an audio-book format. You almost feel as though you are listening to your own personal motivational speaker. Duncan Bannatyne does not do the narration himself which is a shame as it is always interesting to hear the author tell their own story, however, David Rintoul does a fantastic job to a point were you almost feel as though you are listening to Duncan Bannatyne himself. I highly recommend this audio-book as a great addition to any collection.

This book is a fantastic read and has a wonderful range of different stories such as Oscar Wildes hilarious story ‘The model Millionaire’ about a young man who’s fortune takes a turn for the better, Gerald Griffins terrifying “The Brown Man”, James Joyce’s “Araby”, Oliver Goldsmiths “Adventures of a Strolling Player”, Sheridan Le Fanu’s story about Sir Dominick Sarsfield or the “Faustian” and of course Agnes Castle’s romantic “Rosanna”.

This book works wonderfully in an audio book format. The imaginative and descriptive language is even better spoken aloud especially with the rich voiced narrator T.P. McKenna who’s expertise and experience with story telling is made clear in this audio-book. His smooth voice really adds some authenticity and a nice edge to each beautifully written short story. Each character is given a different voice to a point where you would swear you were listening to a whole cast and not just T.P. McKenna.

This book has been fantastically written and it is clear that Archer himself has used some of his own first hand experience to describe the prison life. This brings a great amount of realism to the story. You are on the side of Danny all the way through and are constantly waiting to see what happens to him next.

It is mainly due to the excitement and adventure in this book that makes it translate so well to audio book form. Roger Allam, once again, does a fantastic job at narrating, always making sure that each character is enhanced with different vocal patterns and inflections. It is due to this that the story begins sounding like a whole cast of people rather than just one man and Allam definitely does Archer’s book justice. The unabridged version also includes an interview with Jeffrey Archer about A Prisoner of Birth.

The 5 sections of this first book are ideal for listening to whilst you’re in the car or on the way to work (I put mine on a MP3 player and listened on the train) and the subtitles of each section are pleasantly cheesy or irritatingly contrite depending on your point of view, and whilst they don’t seem to give much information about each different topic thanks to vague buzz words, the content is generally good and informative.

It’s nice to hear the opinions and glean help from the experience of established, successful entrepreneurs, and there’s even a free workbook provided in a link as an accompaniment to the series. To be honest I haven’t looked at the workbook myself, but it may come in handy in the future.
