Narrator Lewis Fitz-Gerald adds a profound sense of loss and despair to the forlorn character of Tommy Llewellyn. The magical realism of Thompson's take on identity harkens to the best of "The Twilight Zone." As Fitz-Gerald describes the details of the mysterious "Reset" in a tone of wonder, it dawns on the listener just what's happening. The universe erases every detail of Tommy the day after his birthday. He must rebuild his life each year. This might be a blessing in some ways, but what happens if you fall in love and the object of your affection can't remember ever meeting you? Fitz-Gerald's narration adds urgency and a sense of hope as Tommy moves toward an emotionally uplifting conclusion.

In this sequel to Terms of Endearment, Larry McMurtry brings back Aurora Greenway, who is now dealing with her various lovers and friends plus three grown grandchildren with a variety of problems. He presents a tale of growing up and growing old which is bittersweet and funny. Narrator Ivey uses a slight east Texas accent which authenticates the setting of the story. Each character's voice has a slightly different inflection to differentiate it. It all works together well. As you listen, you feel as if you might actually be in Houston sharing the lives of these resilient and refreshing people.

To Fred Fairly, a Cambridge Fellow, truth is everything. What then is the truth about the woman he finds beside him when he awakens? English conventions and mores of 1912 Cambridge are central to this period piece. Callow's wonderful voice and interpretation make accents, personalities and gender come alive, and help make sense of the frequent time and character shifts. His delivery enhances a most clever "choose your own ending."
