2 hours to long.

Revisado: 02-11-16

The author spends to much time reiterating human deaths etc. Yes, 52 humans died. Yes, Pinky is dead. Get over it and move on. Stop beating a dead horse. It gets old fast.

Ever read a book 50 pages too long!!

Revisado: 05-05-14

Would you consider the audio edition of Ever After to be better than the print version?

I have never read the print version

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

Most - Biz finally getting some print time. Least - Nick, just kill the guy and put us all out of our misery

What does Marguerite Gavin bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Marguerite has the ability to play so many different characters. It is what keeps this overly long book interesting

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When Siri died.

Any additional comments?

We could save a couple hours of listening by just reducing the number of times Rachel says "I'm Sorry" and "Thank you" Most dramatic reflections (such as "do I trust Trent") are overdone. They are longer than they need to be. Even after that I will continue to listen. I like the characters. Hopefully Kim will not screw things up by significantly changing the three primary characters current living and work storyline.

Slow and Mundane

Revisado: 10-18-12

What disappointed you about Cop Killer?

It it so slow to develop. I finally quit after about 2 hours. I really tried to persevere and listen to the book. It is just plain boring.

What do you think your next listen will be?

James R Benn - Billie Boyle series: Evil for Evil

How could the performance have been better?

Someone who could actually speak with something other than a monotone voice. It was like listening to a chemistry lecture in college.

Any additional comments?

Silly but really fun

Revisado: 08-07-12

Where does Timeless rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Top 1/4

Who was your favorite character and why?

Lady Maccon. She was the main character that kept everything together and moving.

What does Emily Gray bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The voices! She has an amazing ability to give each character their own voice.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When Lord Maccon fell out of the balloon after being shot.

Any additional comments?

By the 5th book Carriger has really developed the characters into distinct people. I hope she comes up with another idea for these or other characters from The Parasol Protectorate. It felt like the ending was rushed though.

Boring and Predictable

Revisado: 08-07-12

What disappointed you about Vanishing Act?

It was so slow moving at the start. I fell asleep while listening, missed a chapter and 1/2 and woke up and feeling like I did not miss anything at all. It was so predictable I felt like shaking the main character and asking her how she can be so dim.

Has Vanishing Act turned you off from other books in this genre?

No, just this author.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

Limited character voices. Try not to make everyone sound the same

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

It finally ended.
