The Intuitionist: A Novel
The Intuitionist: A Novel

Review:This is a beautifully realized and written novel. A highly original novel about tried and true themes of the african-american struggle taken on a whole new trip.

Review:Straczynski's second volume picks up nicely where the first leaves off, both humanizing and distancing the Kryptonian in such a unique fashion, it's almost stunning to think that is hasn't been down before now. Truly a great read. Kudos to Straczynski for making the Man of Steel relevant again. Read more

Review:This book is truly timeless in its characters motivations and their interactions with each other. Charles Dickens is considered one of the greatest writers of all time, but I think should be THE greatest. Read more

Review:charles dickens is one of my favorites.....i have listened to almost everything available on cd.....i'm sure this book is as wonderful as all the others but I'm gonna have to read it i guess....the person who narrates this book is so distracting that i cannot follow the story line...maybe it's just me but I've about given up....for this reason alone,not because of the wonderful author,I cannot recommend this audiobook at all Read more
