THE ULTIMATE GIFT

The gravelly voice of Tom Bosley is perfectly suited to this inspiring little novel. He deftly changes characters—from an elderly man to a young man to a middle-aged woman—keeping each distinct and interesting. The story revolves around Jason, a spoiled young man whose great-uncle dies and leaves a fortune. Expecting to inherit great wealth, Jason is shocked to find that, before he receives “the ultimate gift,” he must accomplish a series of challenges within a year. His evolution from selfishness to caring and empathy delivers a powerful message. This enjoyable story is brought alive by Bosley’s narration.
