Great Story - Not a Narrator on Fan

Revisado: 08-21-23

Another winning story By Sandra Brown which deals with a very difficult subject. I thoroughly enjoyed the characters, their weaknesses and strengths.

The narration was hard to differentiate one character from another. One character sounded like she was a 70 year old 3 pack a day smoker, when she was really much younger.

Kyf Brewer is a usually pretty good narrator but this book wasn’t for him especially since many characters are female. His voice is just too deep to convincingly portray women.

Great story…Annoying Author Lectures

Revisado: 12-28-22

This was one of my favorite storylines yet. New characters and lots of plot twists.

The only thing that bugged me is the subtle and not so subtle messages about guns. The author really has little knowledge about guns, gun ownership, etc. As a woman, I own several pistols, have had extensive training (as all responsible owners should) and carry often. It’s saved me from being a victim twice in my life. It’s a great equalizer for women.

The other annoyance is discussing women’s rights as though women are victims of a system. I thoroughly reject that premise. Strong, independent women are not victims.

Another good one

Revisado: 12-09-22

JD Robb comes through again. I missed Somerset throughout this one but I’m glad he appeared at the end. Good story line, good plot.

Also, much less of the same old sex scenes in this one which was great and I didn’t need to fast forward.

WORST. NARRATOR. EVER.

Revisado: 12-02-22

A Jack Mars storyline is always great and imaginative. However, this was one of the most difficult books I’ve listened to and I have over 1800 books in my library.

The narrator is mostly monotone and can’t narrate conversations between characters to save his life. It’s so stilted and cringy.

I’m not sure I can even get all the way through this one without returning it and buying a print version. Even with a vast library collection, I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve had to return a book for horrendously bad narration.

Love the Lettie Change

Revisado: 07-27-22

I often find that books with spinoff characters aren’t as good as the originals. However, that is NOT the case with Sanford’s new series.

Loved Lettie spreading her wings using lessons taught by her dad, Lucas Davenport.

Good new characters but…

Revisado: 07-19-22

I’ve listened to and loved all Mark Greaney books so I was excited for Armored to come out. The narrator wasn’t impactful and overly dramatic at times and he didn’t make the book an interesting listen.

Maybe it was the narrator or the story or maybe a mixture but Armored isn’t exactly a thrill ride and I got bored a lot and zoned out.

The new characters are great maybe the next one will be a little more exciting like Gray Man books.

I remember why I stopped listening to this series

Revisado: 07-10-22

With over 1800 books in my audible library, I’ve heard quite a few narrators and there are 4 that I will never ever listen to again.

The story, characters and plot lines of this book are fantastic.

I stopped listening to this series because of the narrator. Her tone for conversation between people in Montana is a cross between a jaw locked socialite and a valley girl. She gives every character this same inflection when speaking. She elongates one syllable words into syllables. I found it really annoying. As an example, it’s not weeeeellllllll-ah or hoooooome-ah. I know she can do it properly because when it’s straight narration and no conversation it’s mostly normal.

My advice is to read this series rather than listening.

Not a short story fan BUT…

Revisado: 03-09-22

I never download short stories and didn’t realize at first these were 3 short stories. The stories by all three authors were great, the characters well done and I was drawn into each story.

The narrator was my least favorite part. At times, she sounded like a grandmother with a shaky voice telling a story, her voice didn’t fit with the age of the characters and there wasn’t a very big voice range changing between characters.

Good storyline but...

Revisado: 03-17-20

Jonathan Davis was fantastic as always. The storyline thriller/mystery was great as usual. That being said, i have grown weary of authors basing characters on President Trump and mocking him and using ridiculous characteristics to portray the President. If you support the President then this book will irritate you to no end. If you still harbor hate for the president and believe all the crap from the main stream media then you will love this book.

I have many of Grippando’s titles in my library but going forward, I will be more cautious before purchasing more.

Love Brett Battles BUT...

Revisado: 05-05-19

I’ve loved all of Brett Battles books but I am only 4 minutes into this book and have to stop. At first I checked to see if narration speed was lower than 1.0 (nope). The narrator’s voice and tone is slow and depressing. I’m returning this for a refund. I can’t imagine listening to 8 hours of this torment.
