Story
For thousands of years, there has been a cycle: a Demon King rises and conquers, and a Hero is reborn a hundred years later to defeat him. Each time, civilizations are ground to dust beneath the Demon King's hordes, but humanity has remained secure in the belief that a Hero of legend will always save them. There's just one slight problem. It's only been 23 years since the Demon King's latest rise, and this time, he's already conquered more than half the world. If humanity simply waits for the Hero's return, there may be no world left for him to save.

In this remarkable recording, C. S. Lewis shows why millions of readers have acclaimed him the greatest spokesman for Christianity in the 20th century. In a resonant, baritone voice, Lewis explores the nature of the four Greek words that are translated love in English: storge (affection), philia (friendship), eros (sexual or romantic love) and agape (selfless love).

Story
"It doesn't take an Einstein to understand modern physics," says Professor Wolfson at the outset of these 24 lectures on what may be the most important subjects in the universe: relativity and quantum physics. Both have reputations for complexity. But the basic ideas behind them are, in fact, simple and comprehensible by anyone. These dynamic and illuminating lectures begin with a brief overview of theories of physical reality starting with Aristotle and culminating in Newtonian or "classical" physics.

Story
These 36 lectures tell the remarkable story of a tumultuous thousand-year period in the history of England. Dominated by war, conquest, and the struggle to balance the stability brought by royal power with the rights of the governed, it was a period that put into place the foundation of much of the world we know today. As you journey through this largely chronological narrative you'll see key themes emerge, including the assimilation of successive waves of invaders, the tense relationship between kings and the nobility, and the constant battles over money and taxation.

Thousands of people live in the subway, railroad, and sewage tunnels that form the bowels of New York City. This audiobook is about them, the so-called mole people, living alone and in communities, in subway tunnels, and below subway platforms. It is about how and why people move underground, who they are, and what they have to say about their lives and the "topside" world they've left behind.

Outstanding in every way
If Dr. Seuss had written a book for older children it would have had this rhythmic, lyrical mastery. Rushdie’s word choice makes use of sound in a playful way. The book is always fun and entertaining. It also incorporates depth psychology. His profound wisdom about the shadow is beautifully accessible. It includes great characters, politics, the nature of consciousness, and it sparkles with imagination. In short, it’s magical!! The audible performance is also fantastic. This book is one children and adults will both love to hear again and again.

Great story and great story teller
I was very impressed by all of the character voices in this story. The writing was so imaginative that it inspired me to draw what I was listening to (and I am not an artist). The imagery was limitless and I’m so glad I got to experience this book through audible.

Haroun, Hooray!
I don’t think I have ever enjoyed a book designed for children more than I did this one.
Salmon Rushdie performs with charm and delight. I have recommended this book to many friends and, now, to you.

read on paper
Unfortunately, I did not enjoy this reader. When I picked up the paper cooy, it was fantastic. This reading really doesn't do it justice but rather makes it sound rather silly.

Not my cup of tea.
I've tried to listen to this book multiple times but find myself steeped in apathy. The vocabulary is interesting but that is not enough to rescue the "Shah of Blah" from a plot that cannot hold my interest.
The narration is good enough but, without being able to finish the story I won't go higher than three stars.
I wonder if perhaps a child's imagination is required to engage with this tale?

For me it plodded along
I have never read anything by Salman Rushdie. Back in the early 90s I had almost read his controversial book, but it didn't seem so controversial and it wasn't my normal jam so I didn't bother.
When I saw this book I thought maybe I would give him a try, and I found that he still isn't my jam.
I didn't find anything in the book interesting, the characters, the writing and it was a long long slog just to get through it. I do think there are people out there that might like his books, but it is so far away from what I like that it just didn't work for me.
Ya, just not a book I found interesting, well written or even just a good waste of time for me.

Wonderful story for children and adults!
This story is a wonderful little tale spun by a master storyteller. I had no idea that Salman Rushdie could be so amusing. This is called a children’s book, but I loved it, and I am 56 years old. Narration by Neil Shah was superb!

Outstanding surprise!
This was my first reading of anything by Salman Rushdie. I’m sorry I’ve kept myself from this pleasure until now!
I had no idea of his wit, the gems of humor, human nature observations, delightful turns of phrasing I would find on nearly every page! I found the stories-within-stories to be refreshing, thought provoking in their humor, irony and clever words choices. I loved the characters and, the narration was superb — one of the best of the hundreds of narrators I’ve now heard. I’ll read/listen to more of Rushdie and look for more narration by Neil Shah! Pure pleasure!
