Story
A plane crashes on a desert island and the only survivors, a group of schoolboys, assemble on the beach and wait to be rescued. By day they inhabit a land of bright fantastic birds and dark blue seas, but at night their dreams are haunted by the image of a terrifying beast. As the boys’ delicate sense of order fades, so their childish dreams are transformed into something more primitive and their behaviour starts to take on a murderous, savage significance.

Story
On the hottest day in 1935, and on the brink of a world war, three children lose their innocence as the sweltering summer heat bears down and their lives are changed forever. Cecilia Tallis is of England's privileged class; Robbie Turner is the housekeeper's son. In their moment of intimate surrender, they are interrupted by Cecilia's hyper-imaginative and scheming 13-year-old sister, Briony. As chaos consumes the family, Briony commits a crime, the guilt of which she shall carry throughout her life.

Story
Why we think it’s a great listen: Never before has an author’s narration of his fiction been so important to fully grasping the book’s impact and global implications. Taking us from Afghanistan in the final days of its monarchy to the present, The Kite Runner is the unforgettable story of the friendship between two boys growing up in Kabul. Their intertwined lives, and their fates, reflect the eventual tragedy of the world around them.

Story
Hamlet, Shakespeare's most popular, and perhaps most puzzling play, follows the form of a "revenge tragedy", in which the hero, Hamlet, seeks vengeance against his father’s murderer, his uncle Claudius, now the king of Denmark. Much of its fascination, however, lies in its uncertainties. This new full-cast recording - based on the most respected edition of Shakespeare's classic - expertly produced by the Folger Theatre, is perfect for students, teachers, and the everyday listener.

It's just a small story really, about, among other things, a girl, some words, an accordionist, some fanatical Germans, a Jewish fist-fighter, and quite a lot of thievery. Set during World War II in Germany, Markus Zusak's groundbreaking new novel is the story of Liesel Meminger, a foster girl living outside of Munich. Liesel scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can't resist: books.

Story
The Poisonwood Bible is a story told by the wife and four daughters of Nathan Price, a fierce, evangelical Baptist who takes his family and mission to the Belgian Congo in 1959. They carry with them everything they believe they will need from home, but soon find that all of it - from garden seeds to Scripture - is calamitously transformed on African soil. What follows is a suspenseful epic of one family’s tragic undoing and remarkable reconstruction over the course of three decades in postcolonial Africa.

Aron Ralston, an experienced twenty-seven-year-old outdoorsman, was on a days solitary hike through a remote and narrow Utah canyon when he dislodged an eight-hundred- pound boulder that crushed his right hand and wrist against the canyon wall. Emerging from the searing pain, Aron found himself completely stuck. No one knew where he was; no one was coming to rescue him. With scant water and food, and a cheap pocketknife his only tool, he eliminated his options one by one.

Fiction or Fact?
I believed that this story was true.....at the end, there was a huge question in my mind whether it was fact or fiction. The story itself was very description and many times, very gory and visual.

Whooah! Gripping tale and brilliant narrating. The writing is dreamy and relaxing, and the narrating is absolutely perfect. The ending is unexpected, and hangs over you like a cloud once you finish. Recommended.

Perfectly grounded fiction.
Yann Martel's Life of Pi is nothing short of a immaculately interwoven series of moments of self discovery in the face of life's most seemingly simple challenge, The Move.
As Narrator; Rajiv Surendra gives a truly heartfelt performance. So much so, that at times, it is hard to imagine that you are listening to fiction & not the recordings of a man who has survived a unbearably & yet beautiful trile by sea.

I see what all the fuss is about!
What a story, I had always heard so many good things about the Life of Pi, and decided to finally listen to it. Surendra is entertaining to listen to, having a somewhat cheeky tone to his voice. The story itself is splendid, with ever detail attended to. This is a unique book, with thought provoking content. I would definitely recommend.

An incredible journey full of universal insight a ne inspiration
Rajiv Surendra brings Pi Patel to life in this book! The narrative is beautiful and the story completely believable in all its complexity and detail. The first part of the book is crucial to the understanding of the whole and that includes the hero‘s experiences with world religions as well as his life in India and his knowledge of zoo animals and animal behaviour. His ultimate survival on a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger is truly a journey of faith and a celebration of life.
I loved everything about this audiobook and have listened to it twice already. Amazing.

Amazing adventure, Skip the religion section
I love this book so much, but honestly, you won't miss anything if you skip the few chapters where he discovers his religions before they get on the boat.. So much different than the movie and I love it.
