Of course, eventually, all of L'amour's great old pulp fiction will see book form and, as a huge Louis fan, I'm glad of it. But if you want to read L'Amour's BEST short fiction, this collection, the first, supervised by the author himself back in '75, is your finest bet! L'Amour was a better writer in his pulp days than he will ever be given credit for. In fact, as a late purveyor of the ...             The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Primary Phase (BBC Radio Full-Cast Dramatization)4 reviews Douglas Adams BBC Audiobooks America, 2008 The Original BBC series. Must have for any Hitch-Hiker Fan This is the original BBC radio series (I know I have an old cassette copy from the early 1908's). The radio series was first, then the book, then the TV series, and now the movie. In my opinion the radio series was the best. It has all of the great lines my friend love to quote. The actors are wonderful. The sound effects make you feel like you are right there with Arthur and Ford exploring the ...             Hercule Poirot's Greatest Cases (dramatization) - 28 Audio CD's3 reviews Agatha Christie BBC Audiobooks America, 2007 Yet another fantastic way to enjoy Ms. Christie Here's my altogether selfish reason for posting this particular review: There are another dozen or so BBC Radio adaptations of Christie novels out there, and I'm hoping that a sequel collection will be offered in the future. That alone should stand as a loud endorsement for these enjoyable and faithful adaptations of Christie classics! When I say faithful, I mean it! Even the brilliant TV films ...             Man and Superman6 reviews George Bernard Shaw Random House Audio, 1998 Pure Bergsonism George Bernard Shaw was called, with good reason, the "English Nietzsche". Though Nietzsche was an aristocrat and Shaw a socialist, both cherished the dream of the superman and looked forward to the day when he would be realised. Both, however, were characterised by their mordant wit and intellectual cynicism, in which "Man and Superman" abounds. Shaw manages to compress a number of disparate ...             NPR Dramatization: Star Wars: Episode 4: A New Hope: The National Public Radio Dramatization6 reviews Brian Daley Del Rey, 1994 Something you MUST get. MUST da yo I am a Star Wars fan, like most everyone else in my generation. If you are like me, having lived and breathed Star Wars at one time or another during your life, you really owe it to yourself to listen to the Star Wars Radio Drama casettes, available from Amazon. Here is the casette versions, although I found a boxed set of CDs from Amazon that really kicked, but you have to search the Amazon ...             Audio Drama 101: Verbatim Dramatizations of 101 Familiar & Unfamiliar Short Stories - O'Henry: A Celebration ...4 reviews O. Henry Lend-A-Hand Society, 1998 wonderful adaptation Not to be outshined by the bbc, this audiodrama collection gives O Henry's short stories a first- rate treatment. And best of all, they are faithful to the original stories.             Valley of Fear: BBC (BBC Radio Presents)12 reviews Arthur Conan Doyle Random House Audio, 1999 THE VALLEY OF FEAR 'The Valley of Fear'. A real page turner but what makes it most memorable for me is not that Holmes is at his best, but Conan Doyle is. After reading this book I recommend you to read this book because it was a suspense story. The whole story moves around Mcginty who was a big criminal in the valley of vermisa also called the valley of fear. There was only one person who could face to that ...             Sherlock Holmes: The Hound of Baskervilles: BBC (BBC Radio Presents)4 reviews Arthur Conan Doyle Random House Audio, 2000 The Sleuth of Secrecy and Sensationalism "The Hound of the Baskervilles" ranks as the most famous and also the best of the four Sherlock Holmes novels. It is the first Holmes novel I read as a child, and the combination of ancient curse, foreboding moor, and modern danger kept me turning the pages. The BBC has once again done a masterful job of adapting the novel to the format of radio drama. When I first stumbled on to the BBC ...             The Enchanted Forest Chronicles Book One: Dealing with Dragons301 reviews Patricia C. Wrede Listening Library, 2001 One of my favorites This is an enchanting story that once again captures the spirit of the perky princess who had no desire to be the traditional damsel-in-distress. So, what's a contemporary woman trapped by royal traditions to do? Offer herself up to the dragons in the first place. It's a whimsical tale that gives fairytales sly winks and twists at every corner. The characters are rich, and move the story along ...             The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes, Volume 2 (Casebook of Sherlock Holmes (Random House))4 reviews Arthur Conan Doyle Random House Audio, 1998 Neglected Collection Case Book of Sherlock Holmes / 0-425-04822-5 This collection contains the following short stories: - The Adventure of the Illustrious Client - The Adventure of the Blanched Soldier - The Adventure of the Mazarin Stone - The Adventure of the Three Gables - The Adventure of the Sussex Vampire - The Adventure of the Three Garridebs - The Problem of Thor Bridge - The Adventure of the ...             A Ranger Rides to Town/Rain on a Mountain Fork (Louis L'Amour)2 reviews Louis L'Amour Random House Audio, 2006 A good, clean escape from the present The stories draw you in; a good, clean escape from the present. The characters and situations are very realistic, yet are not gory, nor do they sugarcoat life. Very entertaining; I found myself wishing the drive to work/home was a little longer.             The Collected Bowdrie Dramatizations: Volume II2 reviews Louis L'Amour Random House Audio, 2006 Bowdrie Collection is a Hit! The stories in "The Collected Bowdrie Dramatizations: Volume II" are great additions to my Bowdrie CD collection. They are well done and provide continuous storyline. I can't wait for Volume III!             Merrano of the Dry Country (Louis L'Amour)2 reviews Louis L'Amour Random House Audio, 1990 Lose Yourself in the Story This is one of those you will listen too time and again! Crisp clear audio, good character voices by the actors. Excellent audio special effects. All easily heard in the environment of a car. The story is great also: four ranchers had settled an old grant...legally, when suddenly a young Mexican brings in a few head and claims some of the range. Things begin to fly apart after that. ...             No Man's Man (Louis L'Amour)2 reviews Louis L'Amour Random House Audio, 2000 Three Men Fighting Over One Woman! Lou Morgan takes a shooting job, something he has earned a serious reputation in doing. A man, Lou named "The Scholar," because of his looks, is interested in a particular ranch; run by the lovely Nana Maduro. Another rancher, Henry Witterling, is making moves on Nana and The Scholar wants him removed from the picture. Unknown to all parties is the fact that Lou knows Nana and used to be ...             Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Quintessential Phase (dramatization)2 reviews Douglas Adams BBC Audiobooks America, 2007 So Long, Hitchhiker's Guide, and Thanks for All the Fun This is the superb final BBC radio series of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, this one adapting Douglas Adams' final book Mostly Harmless. It features the same creators and cast from the recent Tertiary and Quandary Phases (which means that most of the original cast from the 1978 to 1980 radio shows appear.) While the book itself was a major disappointment, the radio adaption manages to ...             The Nightgown of the Sullen Moon: A Filmstrip Dramatization (Children's Literature Series)3 reviews Nancy Willard Random House, 1984 Thick, hair-raising magick! This is a book from my childhood, and I was curious to find if it was still in print! It is one of the most supremly vivid and special books and memories of my past, I cherish this book with the upmost grace!! The illustrations will mezmerize any reader, the brilliant watercolor washes are astonishing. The words are simple, bright, they seem almost ancient in many ways. It is a timeless ...             Past into Present: Effective Techniques for First-Person Historical Interpretation3 reviews Stacy F. Roth The University of North Carolina Press, 1998 Sharing History As a new recruit in the growing international army of Civil War reenactors, I was anxious to evolve past the usual march-and-shoot mass maneuvers into effective first-person interaction with spectators. But having never even seen a living-history interpreter, I wasn't sure what to do. Then I found Ms. Roth's delightful book on the internet! She interviewed scores of experienced interpreters at ...             Case Closed - No Prisoners (Chick Bowdrie Series)2 reviews Random House Audio, 1987 great awesome book!! Very exciting good book! NUF SAI             Fork Your Own Broncs (Louis L'Amour)2 reviews Louis L'Amour Random House Audio, 1996 Audio version different than the book, still worthwhile. Of all the audio adaptations, this is one of my favorites. Even thought the characters are the same as in the printed edition and the basic story line is the same, there are enough differences to make you wonder if they are two different versions of the same story. The audio edition has beed "sweetened" up quite a bit. In the book, Vin Ricker is a genuine "bad guy". In the audio, he is ...             The Sign of the Four: Sherlock Holmes BBC2 reviews Arthur Conan Doyle Random House Audio, 1999 Loyalty, Betrayal, Revenge, and Romance A fabulous treasure dogged by murder. A trans-racial oath of loyalty. A greedy major, a cannibal pigmy, and a peg-legged convict. Mix in a pig-headed police investigator and a brilliant-but-flawed amateur detective, and you have the makings of a first-class mystery. Miss Mary Morstan, the recipient of yearly gifts of pearls from an anonymous benefactor, receives a summons declaring her a ...              search for books baskervilles, casebook, celebration, children, chronicles, collected, dramatization, dramatizations, effective, enchanted, familiar, filmstrip, first-person, full-cast, greatest, historical, hitchhiker, interpretation, literature, mountain, national, nightgown, presents, prisoners, quintessential, sherlock, superman, techniques, unfamiliar, verbatim books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
