More than I expected

Revisado: 06-17-24

Not many stories read by the author have entertained me. This one is an exception. Excellent story without gore and lust and excellently written and read

off subject

Revisado: 03-05-24

the author is leaning more towards the political environmental argument in this "essay" rather than the odyssey of the birds. I didn't complete it for this reason. we all are aware of the affect that human has had on the environment. I didn't want another enlightenment but only some fun education of what our avian companions are so capable of and why.

disappointing after previous reads

Revisado: 03-05-24

I've listened to at least three novels from this author and all have been excellent reads with surprisingly witty stories. this one wasn't. perhaps I have missed something in this story. I don't recommend this as an example of moriarty's other works

as compared to hamlet by the same authors

Where does Macbeth: A Novel rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

not my favorite but very good

What other book might you compare Macbeth: A Novel to and why?

hamlet. the story I dont think is as good as hamlet but the narration is better in macbeth. the depiction of the characters is the most obvious difference. part of this is the writing but more in the characterization from the narrator

Have you listened to any of Alan Cumming’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

not sure that I have

If you could take any character from Macbeth: A Novel out to dinner, who would it be and why?

none. It was not easy to like any one character over another. even the villains

much rewinding but worth it

Revisado: 09-03-15

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

yes. it was dry but with enough interest to rewind and continue

excellent character creation. it tells a story of postwar. not many stories do. it includes some interesting sub stories as well

What about Christopher Cazenove’s performance did you like?

the voices helped break up the different eras

Was The English Patient worth the listening time?

definitely

Any additional comments?

as most books are, this one is far better than the film

Would you listen to The Caine Mutiny again? Why?

yes. to meet the characters again

What did you like best about this story?

much. the twist of how we as humans translate waht is probably normal and common when under harsh conditions

Which character – as performed by Kevin Pariseau – was your favorite?

not sure. will read again

If you could take any character from The Caine Mutiny out to dinner, who would it be and why?

mrs kieth. she is a traditional mother and mother in law. it would be interesting to hear a pov from her also as a widow

not the historical novel that i had expected

Revisado: 06-13-15

Would you try another book from Consuelo Saah Baehr and/or Karen Peakes?

possibly

What was most disappointing about Consuelo Saah Baehr’s story?

it started out well but slowly lost more and more of the important details. almost like it was abridged. almost as if it was over edited

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

the narrator was able to depict the voices well. sometimes there wasnt enough elaboration between changes, making listener have to go back

Do you think Three Daughters needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

no. it has enough time. it should have been made into two books on its own. then maybe more pertinent details could've been included

Any additional comments?

interesting enough to listen to but not a favorite
