hi
I had not listened to books on tape until a couple of years ago, when one of my professors in library school gave us an assignment to listen to a book on tape. I was really hesitant, but found in the right circumstances, they are wonderful. Jim Dale, who is the narrator on the Harry Potter tapes, is extraordinary...if you ever get a chance, pick one of those up. You'll be amazed!
The son of Grimoire Valentine, a Shin-Ra scientist, Vincent grew up to become a member of "The Turks"(A shady organization within Shin-Ra known for activities such as espionage, assasination, kidnapping, and various others). After he was assigned to oversee the Jenova Project stationed at Nibelheim, he fell in love with one of the scientists working there, a woman by the name of Lucria Crescent, the assistant to Professor Gast. But Lucrecia rejected Vincent out of guilt born years earlier when Grimoire died while saving her life. Instead a relationship was eventually formed between her and her colegue Hojo. Eventually she became pregnant, and deemed to be used as a test subject for the Jenova Project.Vincent objected the use of humans on the project, especially Lucrecia and her child. But despite his protests Lucrecia proceeded with the experiments and became ill afterwards. Enraged Vincent confronted Hojo in the underground labratory at Shin-Ra Mansion.Games Final Fantasy VII + Dirge of CerberusCharacter designer(s) Tetsuya NomuraVoice actor(s) (English) Steve BlumVoice actor(s) (Japanese) Kazuhiro Nakata (Ehrgeiz)Shougo Suzuki (all other appearances)Hojo quickly ended the conflict by pulling a gun and shooting Vincent down, and from there he placed him in a large experimental capsule for use in Hojo's experiments based on Grimoires research on the Lifestream. The resulting exposure caused Vincent to mutate, allowing him to change into alternate forms when enraged (Galian beast, Hellmasker, Death Gigas, a red form using his cloak, and possibly others). Lucrecia wanting to revive vincent exposed him to the G Substance, a form of contaminated Mako which revived Vincent, but also caused him to become the host for Chaos, a monster born to pave the way for Omega WEAPON by killing all living things. But Hojo had predicted such actions, the main reasons for his experiments on Vincent were to create a body capable of housing Chaos.Under the influence of Chaos, Vincent became enraged and broke out of his confinement. To stop him Lucrecia used the Proto Materia (a special materia created by the planet to control Chaos), the result calming him and inducing a deep sleep. When he awoke on te operating table alone, he responded to his mutated body with anguish and rage. Being unable to save Lucrecia he entered a coffin for 30 years as a punishment and attonement for his sin.Years later he was stumbled upon by Cloud and company in the basement of Shin-Ra mansion. At first he rejected their offer to join and sent them away, but learning about their involvement with Shin-Ra and Sephiroth he joins them because of the possibility of an encounter with Hojo.Not much is known about his time spent the two years after Sephiroth was defeated, only he traveled the world alone. And during the new crises he played a crucial part in the events to come. Saving Cloud, and later discovered, Tseng and Elena from Kadaj's gang. He further helped by revealing the nature of Geostigma, and even Kadaj and the SHM as the will oh Sephiroth manifest.---Vincent-Valentine.com
...same to you and your family!~Mrs. Foellmer
Yvonne,I'm so sorry. I thought I had already friended you way back when I wrote my first note to you!! I guess, sometimes, that's what happens when you are doing waaayyyy too much online all at one time! Oh, well. Now, I KNOW I did it! : )Mrs. Foellmer
Hi Yvonne! How are you? I listen to books on tape in the car on my way back and forth to work each day. I've been 're-reading' the Harry Potter series. I remember you were a BIG fan of them. Have you ever listened to them? They are wonderful on tape.
Regarding some of the books you have read being short: As you know, the length of a book doesn't matter. It's the substance. I enjoy books by Mitch Albom. Most of his books are rather short, but, boy, are they powerful. They can change your life. Some of his books are Tuesdays with Morie and For One More Day. If you ever think you'd like to read one of them, I think I still have a couple of these. Let me know if you'd like them and I will get those I can find, to you.~Mrs. Foellmer
Yes, that's an awesome book. Really, really difficult, though. I mean, it really deals with some situations that I wouldn't ever want to be in, nor would I want my children to be in. Have you finished the book, or are you reading it now? Have you seen the movie? I'm not sure I can see the movie. It is so emotional for me. I do think, eventually, I will watch it, though.~Mrs. Foellmer
Yvonne,You look like a busy reader. Me, too! I really LOVE reading. I've asked for a bunch of books for Christmas. Most of the time, I get my books from a book exchange that we have in the teacher's lounge, but, at Christmas, I enjoy having a few books that I am the first to read!! : )Thanks for adding me!~Mrs. Foellmer
Hi Yvonne! Thanks for the request! Can't wait to check out what your favorite reads are!
