What a book, what a voice. Alice Walker reading her novel is a gift to the world.

Entertaining and informative

Revisado: 01-14-20

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the narrator was perfect. Just enough humour to keep it entertaining while also being informative in the Jewish customs of saying kaddish for a lost loved one.

Poignant and well-written

Revisado: 12-04-19

While I enjoyed the book very much, I would have preferred a different narrator. The story was written well and very descriptive in terms of rhe cognitive decline of Alice, howwvee I felt that the reading could've used different inflections or voices for each character that the writer didn't articulate as well as an actress or more professional narrator may have done. Overall, a good read and very informative regarding the treatment and steps of Alzheimer's disease.

A book I will read often - don't put it off.

Revisado: 08-19-19

This should be mandatory reading for every American. At 45, I'm embarrassed it took me so long to get to it. In case you're worried it's not for you - it is. Maya Angelou's voice and strength seeps through each chapter. I can never hope to truly understand the challenge of being born the 'wrong' colour or gender as a privileged white man, but her honest telling of each moment helps to understand a little bit each time. I just concluded reading it and now I'm going to read it again.

Great insight into modern journalism and an accounting of Trump's road to the White House that seems to this reader of being fair just like she promised The Donald.

Strangely Satisfying

Revisado: 06-18-15

Well, that was totally bizarre but also strangely satisfying. It's definitely a book that leaves an impression; and, by that I mean that I'm still trying to figure out how/if the characters/events relate to each other.

More than I needed to know.

Revisado: 12-20-14

Although interesting at times, the level of detail or down in this book will be more useful to the developers of games based in the world than causal readers life myself. It is designed to be presented as a scholarly work, unfortunately it also reads like one. I suspect it would be more useful as a resource book while reading ASOIAF than a stand alone read.

Read this novel - skip the audiobook.

Revisado: 03-04-13

I was rather insulted by the lack of attention to detail that the Narrator and producers took when putting forth this audiobook. I understand that a long time had passed between the reading of the third and forth novels but a simple review of each character's voice would not have taken much time.

I have decided that I will read the fifth book rather than listen to the audiobook and hopefully by the time the 6th one is available Roy will have respected his audience enough to bring back the great voices from books 1-3.

The story is slow and extremely detailed, but I am a huge fan of this. I love the immersive feeling Martin gives his readers. His world is alive in our minds, with every detail brilliantly crafted. The story is still great, and well worth reading.

If you have the choice of listening to or reading this novel, and you listened to the first three - I suggest you read this one. That way you will get all the pleasures of the story and writing without the disappointment of the narration.
