I say complex not because it explores the issues in a particularly complex manner, but rather because of the three narrators who tell the story in first person narrative. Three sisters, daughters of a radically devout evangelical minister, accompany their father, mother, and youngest sister to the Congo in the 1960s (perhaps it wasn&#39;t Congo, yet, but I can&#39;t recall which of its many names it bore at the start) to be missionaries. The tyrannical father, a conservative man whom Kingsolver villainizes with no attempt at subtlety, is the indirect driving force of the novel. It is his cultural insensitivities and atrocities that shapes the girls’ psychologies and ultimately their futures. His presence in the novel is felt long after he is absent from it (the novel takes place over many years), as each daughter makes choices based upon their past. In doing so, Kingsolver gives him great power; he is the figure against whom every major character reacts, and they are all defined by their reaction against him. For example, there is the idolizing daughter who later rebels utterly against his dogma; there is the daughter who thinks little of the missionary work, focusing all her energy on getting home to the prom dance and who craves the life of luxury in a despondent country; and then there is the daughter who one can imagine is Kingsolver herself and who is the cynical voice of reason throughout. Through the eyes of these three young women, we catch a glimpse of a nation thrown into political and social disorder, and we see with equal pity and hatred a man whose life and mind is focused on his divine mission of changing the “pagan and evil” society of “dark Africa.” An interest study of the various responses toward missionary work in foreign nations, this book drags at points (it is about 100 pages too long) but is well worth the read.

Reluctant space traveler Arthur Dent finds himself drawn into a race to save the universe from the people of Krikkit, who, upon discovering that they&#39;re not alone in the universe, set out to destroy it. Adams does an excellent job with the reading, although his voice drops too low when characters whisper. This reading comes from the British version of the novel, which contains profanity deleted for U.S. release.&quot;

Gone are the skips and jumps from one galaxy and time to another, the almost constant evasions of certain death, the madcap hilarity that ensued whenever Zaphod, Ford, Trillian, Arthur, and Marvin got together (or split up), and the maddening pace of a well-told tale going happily along with little care whether or not the story ever approached an appropriately witty conclusion. This is basically the story of the young lady who figured out the secret of happiness just seconds before Earth was destroyed by a Vogon fleet preparing the way for a hyperspace bypass. It is also Arthur Dent&#39;s story. Sure, we got to now Arthur fairly well in the first three books, but he does spend an inordinate amount of time saying things like: What?, I don&#39;t understand, Is it possible to get a cup of tea? and That&#39;s it then, we&#39;re all going to die. Once you get him out of that well-traveled bathrobe, Arthur Dent turns out to be a real person-a little weird, of course, but real, rather complex, and surprisingly interesting nonetheless.&quot;

Enjoying, or even understanding, the continuing adventures of Earthling Arthur Dent, his strange pal Ford Prefect, and the very, very odd Zaphod Beeblebrox requires previous study and preparation. Confusion and possible insanity awaits the poor soul who tries to figure out the second title without having read the first. Arthur and Ford, having survived the destruction of Earth by surreptitiously hitching a ride on a Vogon constructor ship, have been kicked off that ship by its commander. Now they find themselves aboard a stolen Improbability Drive ship commanded by Beeblebrox, ex-president of the Imperial Galactic Government and full-time thief. Narrated by Adams, this production is a treat for fans of the late author and others who enjoy British comedy. Be sure to buy all five parts of the &quot;Hitchhiker&quot; series or your patrons will storm your office. One caveat: this audiobook will need to be repackaged for library circulation.&quot;

Dent is grabbed from Earth moments before a cosmic construction team obliterates the planet to build a freeway. You&#39;ll never read funnier science fiction; Adams is a master of intelligent satire, barbed wit, and comedic dialogue. The Hitchhiker&#39;s Guide is rich in comedic detail and thought-provoking situations and stands up to multiple reads. Required reading for science fiction fans, this book (and its follow-ups) is also sure to please fans of Monty Python, Terry Pratchett&#39;s Discworld series, and British sitcoms.&quot;

He knows the Party&#39;s official image of the world is a fluid fiction. He knows the Party controls the people by feeding them lies and narrowing their imaginations through a process of bewilderment and brutalization that alienates each individual from his fellows and deprives him of every liberating human pursuit from reasoned inquiry to sexual passion. Drawn into a forbidden love affair, Winston finds the courage to join a secret revolutionary organization called The Brotherhood, dedicated to the destruction of the Party. Together with his beloved Julia, he hazards his life in a deadly match against the powers that be.
