Good


(5 stars)

Unfortunately. Due a glitch with my tablet I was only able to listen to half of this book, but from what I heard it was good. Just wish I can someday listen to the rest.

Commercial-free Ripley


(5 stars)

The otr ads are part of the fun. But these hundreds of delicious sound 'bites' that will load one after the other from android app librovox. The intro and amazing anecdote are what you get. A kind soul has removed the ads, which would have been too much of a good thing and been as long as the content. I read a very good biography of robert ripley a few months ago from the library (yes, an audiobook, I'm an admitted addict), and had missed finding these somehow on the first search. His was q fascinating life and I highly rec the bio, title of which I'll try to remember to add here, but it's the only one I think. He was the real deal, with the help of his researcher who I should name also. Thanks to the volunteers for this treat.
