An intimate memoir by the controversial, Oscar-winning director and screenwriter Oliver Stone Before moving to Los Angeles and the international success of Platoon in 1986, Oliver Stone had been wounded as an infantryman in Vietnam, and spent years writing unproduced scripts while working odd jobs in Manhattan. Stone, now 73, recounts those formative years with in-the-moment details of the highs and lows: meetings with Al Pacino over Stone’s early scripts; the harrowing demon of cocaine addiction; the failure of his first feature; his risky on-the-ground research of Miami drug cartels for Scarface; and much more. Chasing the Light is a true insider’s guide to Hollywood’s razor-edged years of upheaval in the 1970s and ’80s with untold stories of decade-defining films from the man behind the camera.

Kudos to the developers! 🚶♀️📖 Gone are the days of struggling with formats. Thanks to this app, my audiobook journey is a breeze, and every tale is a tap away. Highly recommended! 📚🎧 I love the ability to change the background color. It’s a nice touch. A textbook example of great audiobook narration! The performer's diction was flawless, their pacing ideal, and their emotional range impressive. I never felt like I was being "read to" but rather like I was experiencing the story firsthand. The audio engineering was equally professional.
ListenBook's compatibility with different formats ensures I never have to worry about file conversions. Noise reduction on ListenBook Pro is a revelation. It elevates the audio quality to a new level. Solid performance, but not outstanding. The narrator did a fine job, though their tone was a bit monotonous at times. The story itself was engaging enough, but I wouldn’t call it unforgettable.
The app is perfect for people who love to listen to books while commuting. A decent listen overall. The narration was clear, though some character voices sounded similar. The story was interesting but had moments where it dragged slightly. Still, it was a good way to pass the time.
📚 Accessing my favorite authors and genres is a breeze with this app's user-friendly functionality. 📱🎧 The auto-rewind feature is a small detail that has a big impact on my listening experience. I love it! The app's compatibility with CarPlay enhances my driving experience. Audiobooks on the road have never been better. ListenBook’s bookmarking feature is incredibly useful. I never lose my place in a book.
Audiobooks have made my long commutes enjoyable, and I'm always eager to see what's next. I'm amazed at how effortlessly I can immerse myself in stories with this app. The narrator was good but spoke a bit too slowly for my taste. I had to speed it up to 1.2x which then made some parts sound slightly unnatural.
This app has made me realize that there's always time for a good book. Automatic metadata extraction is a time-saver. My library is finally well-organized. Supports extensive playlists and bookmarks. Very user-friendly.
