Such a fun listen

Revisado: 03-16-20

Rick weaves a story like few other musicians. He talks to the reader/ listener not at the reader/ listener. He also has a vocal delivery that just makes me smile. It's like sitting in a pub listening to a dear friend tell stories... which, I guess what this book really is.

very dry

Revisado: 03-02-20

Robinson has been a great presenter during TED talks with interesting points and a welcoming conversational delivery that allows an audience of diverse people into his world. I was intrigued to become involved with this book. Wow, this book has very little in common with Robinson's presentations. This book is so dry and almost prides itself on providing endless figures and lists. The narrator certainly does not help the matter by providing a droll and monotone delivery. Most things that I was excited to explore in this book are lacking greatly. This book is not welcoming to the readers/ listeners.

I don't think I am the target audience

this felt to me like a "friends" paranormal soap opera. I couldn't like any of the characters, even the narrator. Each of the characters appeared to be overly self indulged.

I really expected a lot more from this book

Revisado: 04-04-14

What do you think your next listen will be?

H.P. Lovecraft read by Wayne June

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Odd character voices that appeared to be characatures rather than characters.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

it had moments where references to other books or characters might lead to something far more grand, but never developed. It could have been grand... it should have been grand.

Any additional comments?

Alcohol appears to be the main villain in this book. it certainly puts up more of a fight than any of the other antagonists. I was so looking forward to a grand adventure and thrill ride... instead, I got a temperance lecture. whee.

please, no more french accents.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Paul Michael?

I would have preferred a female narrator for the female characters. Paul is very good, but when the french accents came in, It was Monty Python and the Holy Grail all over again.... "I'm FRENCH you see-ly King'ga! Why Do you think I have this OUT--RRAG--GEOUS Accent!?!"

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

disappointment, laughter, then frustration that I purchased something that I can not return.

a wonderful and necessary read for artists

Revisado: 01-09-13

If you could sum up Art & Fear in three words, what would they be?

encouraging, enlightening, reaffirming.

What did you like best about this story?

encouragement in a language that creatives all speak, musicians, visual artists, dancers, culinary artists, sculptors, it speaks to all of us in our language. It provides a path out of frustration and the option of quitting the creative process.

What about Arthur Morey’s performance did you like?

Solid and soothing.

It was fun.

Revisado: 08-06-12

If you could sum up Tarzan of the Apes in three words, what would they be?

bygone age adventure

What did you like best about this story?

it moves quickly

What does David Ian Davies bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He brings a depth and bridge of personal closeness between an older text to a younger listener. He makes this probably more fun than it might be just to read.

Any additional comments?

I would listen to additional Burroughs books if the same narrator was providing the reading.
