Historia
During the last days of Narnia, the land faces its fiercest challenge - not an invader from without but an enemy from within. Lies and treachery have taken root, and only the king and a small band of loyal followers can prevent the destruction of all they hold dear in this, the magnificent ending to The Chronicles of Narnia.

Can't put it into words
Revisado: 05-29-17
I don't even know how to review this because I am still speechless. There are no words to describe the ending to an incredible series. Patrick Stewart's performance was incredible and I hope he narrates more books. That's literally all I can think of to say because I am simply speechless.

Excellent book but Claire Danes is meh
Revisado: 05-29-17
This book is a must read, especially in this day and age. The book has gotten a lot of hype so I'm not really going to review the book. Either you're interested or your not. You're missing out if you don't read it but, hey, that's on you. My review is of the audiobook narration.
I would NOT put this down as a "must listen to" (like I did with my review of Molina's Treasure Island). Claire Danes is blah. She doesn't create any voice inflections and doesn't differentiate between characters. I felt that some lines lost their impact because of how she read them. I am not sure why the producers thought she would be s good choice as a narrator or why no one stopped her after the first chapter and said "you're supposed to be entertaining people, not putting them to sleep." I finished this audiobook because I don't have a whole lot of time to read. I am, however, in my car a lot so if I want to "read" a book, I have to get it on audio. If I did have time to read, I'd have returned this audiobook almost immediately and just stuck read it. I wish producers would test people before they let them narrate books. Don't go by "big" names. Go by what they actually sound like reading the book. If you're constantly checking your phone because you're bored in the sound booth, you probably should get a new narrator.

Beautifully written work about 3 men who played key roles in the shaping of the United States, 2 of whom are often forgotten by history. A must read for any Revolutionary War/history fan. Easy to listen to-the narrator was great-and flows really well. Whether you're a historian or just a history fan, I think everyone will enjoy this work.

Historia
If you happen to find a map in a dead buccaneer's sea trunk, you can't very well ignore it, not if you are Jim Hawkins and his friends Dr. Livesey, Captain Smollett, and Squire Trelawney! But even with a map, buried treasures are not easy things to come by.

THIS narration was like nothing I have ever heard before! I want Alfred Molina to narrate every audiobook I ever listen to for the rest of my life. He brought a novel that I've read and reread over and over again to life in a whole new way. I have recommended this audiobook to everyone who is interested in pirates. I can't say enough how much I enjoyed this audiobook.

Historia
Few books have captivated the imagination and won the devotion and praise of readers and critics everywhere as has George R. R. Martin’s monumental epic cycle of high fantasy that began with A Game of Thrones. Now, in A Feast for Crows, Martin delivers the long-awaited fourth book of his landmark series, as a kingdom torn asunder finds itself at last on the brink of peace . . . only to be launched on an even more terrifying course of destruction.

Narrator was good, plot line was terrible
Revisado: 09-18-16
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I didn't like the narrator when I stared listening to this series but he has significantly grown on me. The plot line of this book made it unbearable to get through. Nothing happens for essentially the entire book. I fail to see he point of this entire novel.

This book was not nearly as good as the first. I'm still not a fan of the narrator but he is growing on me. I loved the first book so much that this one ended up being slightly disappointed. Not bad, still interested me but it definitely took me longer to get through.

Historia
Jamie Fraser knows from his time-traveling wife Claire that, no matter how unlikely it seems, America will win the Revolutionary War. But that truth offers little solace, since Jamie realizes he might find himself pointing a weapon directly at his own son - a young officer in the British army. And Jamie isn't the only one with a tormented soul - for Claire may know who wins the conflict, but she certainly doesn't know whether or not her beloved Jamie survives.

I really liked this narrator! All the voices she did for the character fit. I don't know Cajun accents that well but she sounded like she did Jack's accent well!
