Incredible Story

Revisado: 08-18-20

Whether you’re a longtime fan or recent convert, this autobio is highly recommended. The sense of time and place is vivid. The stories, and lessons learned, are alternately tear-jerking and belly laughingly hilarious. Loretta is REAL and her daughter narrates flawlessly.

Excellent story and narration!

Revisado: 02-08-19

This is one of the best books I’ve listened to in a while. Great story, embedded with history and interesting characters. And the reader does a wonderful job!

Zach Villa is my new favorite narrator!

Revisado: 12-15-18

A good story by Allen Eskens, just not my favorite of his novels. I'm writing this review to rave about Zach Villa. He is what an audible narrator should be--he intonates and character shifts in a way that enhances, but doesn't distract, the listener. He is able to shift his voice to sound like a young man, young woman, older man, older woman, autistic man, erudite man, country rube, and so on. Yet, he does this without once sounding shrill or interrupting the melodic nature of having a story read to you. Also, he imparts a sense of gravitas without the "low talking" that some narrators resort to--"low talking" is so annoying because it's difficult to hear when a narrator lowers his/her voice, so the listener often has to rewind and adjust the volume, or just miss that part if driving.

I suppose everyone's different, but to me, the point of audible is having a book read aloud. The point is not listening to actors put on a performance of the narrative. (For my worst case example of this--listen to Tai-Pan, narrated by Gildart Jackson--I had to discontinue this audible due to the cacophonous nature of the performance). Please give us more audibles read by Zach Villa and similar narrators! Thanks!

Excellent mystery, great characters

Just found this series and it’s great. And—no gore or X rated material—I consider that a positive!

Narration style is different...

Revisado: 01-27-18

This classic novel is outstanding. However, I wanted to suggest that other readers listen to a clip of the audio before purchasing. The reader is a gifted orator, no doubt about it. I didn’t care for the style, though—listening to this book is like listening to a play—there’s yelling, screaming, and all manner of grating voices. I listen to audible to hear a book read aloud—I found this reader’s performance to be a distraction to the story as opposed to enhancing it. Everyone’s different, though, and others may like it.

One of the best Bosch books yet!

Revisado: 11-22-17

I don’t know how MC does it, but he keeps churning out books and the books get better and better! This one is classic Bosch—a loner with a strict code of ethics and a conscience.

Sue Grafton hits another one out if the park!

Revisado: 09-12-17

Another tightly written Kinsey mystery, and Grafton doesn't disappoint. And Judy Kaye is great, as usual. Y is a little more graphic (with sexual violence) than the previous installments, but not in a way that will give you nightmares. Grafton must be nearing her 70's, but she hasn't lost a step.

Everyone should listen to this!

Revisado: 08-09-17

This is the best psychology/self help book I've come across in a long time (I'm a psychologist, so I've read hundreds). The audio version is great bc the author reads it. You may want to purchase the hard copy too, for reference. I highly recommend this resource.

Connelley delivers again!

Revisado: 07-27-17

Another great read by MC--he never gets formulaic. I love the new character and hope we see more of her. The reader on audible is excellent!
