The dialog here is solid and the players unforgettable. Narrator Brian Troxell's accented presentation brings out both the humor and the sometimes deadly seriousness of each episode. The story also has as close to a happy ending as Woodrell musters. Both raunchy and dangerous, this will have listeners demanding a sequel.

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
Narrator Tara Sands does an accomplished job of channeling each character according to Baum's descriptions, and this production will charm small children, but older kids and curious adults should stick to the film. Buy appropriately.

Things I Want To Punch in the Face
Although they are undeniably funny, Worick's choices will have listener both applauding and booing in equal measure. This is the audio equivalent of bathroom reading—it's best in small doses. The entries often seem overwritten; she's trying so hard to be clever that the wordplay is more annoying than what she's carping about. Narrator Rebecca Gibel reads with an appropriate balance of humor and vitriol (note that many of the entries feature quite strong adult language). Fans of the blog (jenniferworick.com) will have a blast, but if listening to someone endlessly complain chaps your hide, then pass.

O'Brien's powerful memoir remains highly relevant and should be standard issue to all military personnel and their families. Highly recommended.

The Lawgiver
While charming, this title is a lesser work by a literary master. ["May Wouk have other tales in him and live to be 120," read the starred review of the S. & S. hc, LJ 11/1/12.—Ed.]

Lucky at Cards
Although the book is dated, fans of nonviolent crime fare will enjoy. Block is always worth the time.

A Christmas Carol
Traditionalists may prefer a male rendition since nearly all the characters are men, but Margolyes does the yuletide standard justice, and a female voice may prove more accessible to girls who are being introduced to the story. Buy accordingly.
