Most of us take for granted that the Supreme Court will decide the most divisive issues of our day, but is this what the Constitution's framers had in mind when they wrote that document? Narrator Dietz has an assured, deep, rich voice that lends authority and gravitas to the book. Reviewed by Bob Grundfest.

Satchel Paige has been called the best pitcher of his generation, and possibly of all time, but coming of age in a segregated America delayed his progression towards fame. Narrator Hoffman has a pleasant, insistent voice that propels that narrative forward and gives the text a sense of urgency. Reviewed by Bob Grundfest.

The calypso lilt of narrator Robin Miles gives listeners an immediate sense of this novel’s setting: an eighteenth-century Jamaican sugar plantation. The rhythm of her speech really transports you--yet doesn't cover the tension and the turbulence below the surface.

If Kafka had a sense of humor, he might have written THE MANUAL OF DETECTION. Berry's absurd and fantastical situations are perfectly complimented by Pete Larkin's low-key performance.

In this powerful conclusion to Wolff's Make Lemonade trilogy, Heather Simms uses extraordinary rhythm to project the free-verse form of the book.

Hopkins's gritty YA novels are written in free verse, which can act as a buffer to the powerful material in print. As audio productions, they are much more immediate. The honest, searing performances of Laura Flanagan and others are as addictive as the topics. GLASS chronicles the strangle hold of crystal meth, and IMPULSE follows three teens at a psychiatric hospital.
