Revisado: 04-09-14

If you could sum up The Fall in three words, what would they be?

Funny, real, sexy.

What did you like best about this story?

Spoiler alert:....I like that the macho brother was actually gay!

What about Max Lehnen’s performance did you like?

The sound of his voice is quite engaging.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Not all is as appears!

Any additional comments?

It might be a good idea to buy the first book too...'The Isle of Where?...'

Kind of Funny story that transports you!

Where does The Isle Of... Where? rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I have listened to better, I have listened to worse. I would listen again though!

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Isle Of... Where??

I like the 'englishness' of the characters and how this and they transport you out of the norm.

What about Max Lehnen’s performance did you like?

Fantastic job. Really engaging and his voice does not get in the way of the story. This is VERY important for me. I don't like overly dramtic, actorly reads and this one hits the mark.

If you could take any character from The Isle Of... Where? out to dinner, who would it be and why?

Liam. I like his sensitivity.

Any additional comments?

Buy it!

Pathetic lifes in a sad sad world

Revisado: 01-09-14

Would you listen to Little Known Facts again? Why?

Maybe... the story is a bit out of my interest but some of the development of said characters I did find interesting

If you’ve listened to books by Christine Sneed before, how does this one compare?

I haven't

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

Really, really nice voice that makes listening to such a tale bearable. I would listen to more of his work.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Not really.

Any additional comments?

Spoiler alter:

The relationship between the son and daughter (and their shared love) was upsetting.

Very Touching and a bit of a thriller

Revisado: 12-29-13

If you could sum up Designs of Desire in three words, what would they be?

Sexy, thriller, touching

Who was your favorite character and why?

I like Seth as he was a 'take charge' kind of guy. I thought James whined a bit too much.

What about Max Lehnen’s performance did you like?

VERY sexy, engaging voice... What I like about listening to books, is that I get to imagine what the narrator looks like ;)

I see someone gave him 1 start here, but I don't get that at all. I would definitely listen to another book by him

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

Seth helping James through his panic attacks (I can relate).

Any additional comments?

I wish there was more sex in the book... or I should say, less sex that is soft and sensitive and more sex with abandon!

Very, very touching material

Revisado: 06-12-13

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

It is more a book about life rather then sci-fi. Kind of a sci-fi book for those that *think* they don't like sci-fi.

Who was your favorite character and why?

All, but the husband and wife stories were extra touching.

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

Yes, I was led to this book based on his work.

Who was the most memorable character of Remember Why You Fear Me and why?

All

Any additional comments?

I don't think they should have used an American to narrate. At times the narrator is using british-isms and they seem strange coming from an american (mum, etc.). That said, if you can let that go, you won't be sorry to listen to this somewhat long book. His tone is quite empathetic and thoughtful--I like this style of narration rather then the super theatrical reads I get from the library.

Oy... I can't take this voice for more then 5 mins

Revisado: 06-11-13

What would have made The Belief Instinct better?

A better narrator.

Were the concepts of this book easy to follow, or were they too technical?

Very easy as they were rehashing of others ideas.

Would you be willing to try another one of Jesse Bering’s performances?

NO.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Belief Instinct?

The last couple of chapters about the mom and his dealing with her dying. Though touching, out of place.

Any additional comments?

Seems unless they have a super interesting voice, authors should not narrate their own material.
