Not up to Ms Thomas' Standards

Revisado: 11-10-21

Well, I'm half way through.... The husband is an ass. His long lost love is a bitch. The wife is a doormat. I'm struggling to finish it. Maybe I will. Maybe I won't.

Cute Story

Revisado: 08-02-21

I am not really a cat person, although there is one that lives in my house. The author does a good job of trying to capture the aloofness of the feline beast. The story line is coherent and provides a level of amusement of a human hanging out in the cat world for a while. The author also is not shy about the level of predation of felines. Certainly not a story for little ones. A naked woman in the cat cage at the end was a funny twist.

The narrator does a most excellent job of capturing the moods and characters of the various beasts. As usual, the possum gets abused....clever but slow. She provides good tonal variety with the various cats and mixes up the meter as the story progresses.

All in all, a pleasant short diversion!

Financial Literacy

Revisado: 04-28-21

The book "Live Well, Grow Wealth" is a very basic primer on how one may financially manage his resources in order to move to a more prosperous state of existence. I would love to say that it is mandatory reading for teens and young married couples. Sadly, I know lots and lots of fully grown adults who could benefit from it. I boils down to having a plan, living within your means and learning delayed gratification. All of those traits or qualities are sadly absent from much of our society. As an old guy, I learned these valuable common sense lessons from my Depression Era parents. It does not seem that those lessons are taught any more.

The narrator did a most excellent job! She spoke clearly and articulately. Pauses at all the right places and I did not catch any mispronounced words or phrases. She has a very pleasant voice and even when relaying the most basic information, she did not condescend to the audience. I would like to hear how she does on other non-fiction or even fiction. Alternate voices are a hot harder....

All in all, a big hoorah for both author and narrator. Now, how to get it out to the tens of millions of financial illiterates in the country.

Friends and Family

Revisado: 05-05-20

Looking back at all the 5 star ratings, I have to conclude that these are the friends and family crowd. The sex was great! The story line was flaky. The narration was terrible. No rhythm, no tempo. Lots of mispronounced words. But, the sex was great. I think I'd have to tell ya to save your credit.

Totally inane

Revisado: 05-10-19

The story is inane. The voices of the various villains (and superheroes) are incredibly annoying. After about an hour, I couldn't take it any more and returned the book.

Mr. Bell,

Did somebody else write this one? Beyond the realm of belief..... Not your best work.

How The Mighty have Fallen

Revisado: 11-27-14

What disappointed you about Edge of Eternity?

Follett has decided to openly allow his biases destroy what could have been an excellent and engaging story. Philandering democrats are heroes. Conservatives who actually accomplish anything are corrupt, crooked or stupid. Parts 1 & 2 were fairly balanced and told a good story. This one just became tedious....I already knew what what coming and how it would be spun. I guess henceforth, I shall have to avoid Mr. Follett. I choose to vote with my wallet.

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

As always, a most superb reader!
