Cherry Jones +++ . The thing about audio books is the reader, who can make or break the aural experience.  Cherry Jones makes what would otherwise be a dated novel come alive.  Her ability to portray multiple characters of both genders is astonishing

A Quick Read if Nothing Else . When I first read the summary of Lost Souls I knew I had to get this book.  So, on what would end up being an long journey, I phoned my local second hand book stores and after going to three finally found one that actually had a copy (despite the others that were 'supposed to have one, miss, sorry').  I couldn't wait to read it, and in two days I'd finished the book.      Now, perhaps it was because my sights had been set so high, or perhaps I expected a well written novel when there was none, but 'Lost Souls' disappointed me severely.  As another reviewer said Nothing, the main character, is possibly one of the most selfish characters I've come across.  I'm fine with selfish characters, I myself loved Lestat of the Vampire Chronicles, but only when they're well written.  We're meant to sympathize with him but I found it impossible to do so.  He is honestly a selfish teenager and even while reading this when I was a teenager I wanted Nothing to come to some revelation.  I found the only character I felt bad for in the novel died early on.  While the rest of the novel was supposed to be tense, or possibly filled with horror, I found I was flipping through without a true care as to what happened to the main characters.  There were a few moments of suspense but nothing too frightful.  In all honesty, the book reminded me of the countless  horror stories that fill writing websites [...]     Overall, I would say it's worth a read if you've nothing else to do and are craving any type of vampire story.  Just don't expect too much

What Russian literaute ought to be . In a letter to the Fourth Congress of Soviet Writers Solzhenitsyn writes, "Lierature that is not the breath of contemporary society, that dares not transmit the pains and fears of that society, that does not warn in time against threatening moral and social dangers - such literature does not deserve the name of literature; it is only a façade." Cancer Ward is no façade.    A truly moving story of life and death, disease and recovery, Cancer Ward is a novel with impact. The characters are brilliantly portrayed and it is they who tell the story. From loyal party member Pavel Nikolayevich to labor camp survivor Oleg Kostoglotov and through all the characters whose lives fit somewhere in between, the virtues and faults of socialism are examined, dissected, and layed out clearly for the reader.    While his contemporaries were busy writing safe novels, novels which towed the party line and supported the prescribed views of Stalinism, Solzhenitsyn took a grave risk. He wrote novels which reflected truth. He wrote novels which portrayed the real life trials of the people. And, in the end, he wrote novels which were not published in the nation he so dearly loved.    Make no mistake. Alexander Solzhenitsyn was no rebel. He truly loved his country and supported his government. His use of brutally honest literature was meant to strengthen his beloved country. It was Solzhenitsyn's hope that by portraying the weaknesses of his country he might help eliminate some of those problems. Alas, his works were largely ignored due to the unrelenting censorship of the Soviet government.    Fortunately for the rest of the world his works were not lost. They found their way out of Russia and onto the stage of World Literature. For this we can all be thankful. Cancer Ward is an enriching novel and a worthy addition to anyone's library.    This is not a book you want to pass up
