Narration overly dramatic!

Revisado: 10-05-24

Overly melodramatic narration. I enjoyed the first book of this series, but the second volume was so dramatized that this listener could focus on little else. I had to force myself to finish those book.

Best in years

Revisado: 01-08-18

Narration was exceptional, best in years.! Ms Smith’s performance was as relaxed and natural, authentic, as though she were relating tales from her own life experiences. Outstanding on all fronts.

None better

Revisado: 09-04-17

If you could sum up The Nightingale in three words, what would they be?

Realistic Gripping Intense

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

This is perhaps the best Audible.com book I've heard. The storyteller placed me into France and into the heartbreak of war.

Any additional comments?

Highest recommendation! My heart will carry this story with me forever ~

A Max-like narrator

Revisado: 08-02-17

Outstanding performance! Ben captured Max's wit and passion. In a previous Lucido book, I had to exert my best efforts to focus ON the message and OFF the voice of the narrator, who seemed far more determined to demonstrate that he could enunciate and keep a professional tone than on the humanity of the message.
Great job! Great book!

Outstanding!

One of the most artfully written books I've "read" in years. With each chapter, I loved it more!

Poignant, heart tugging

Revisado: 10-13-16

One of the best Audible books I've 'read.' Tightly wound story with new 'clues' just around the next chapter. Skillful narrators (LIVE Bahni Turpin's books). Perhaps this book is better suited to a female audience.

Another excellent read! Thumbs up to Lee's reading

Revisado: 12-20-15

What made the experience of listening to The Lake House the most enjoyable?

Another excellent read! Kate Morton's forte is spinning a mystery with just enough twists and turns to keep you from deciphering all the clues until her moment of revelation. And once again, thumbs up to Caroline Lee's talented reading -- precise shift in emotions and voice patterns from character to character. MORE, please, Ms. Morton!

Distracting Narration

Revisado: 12-23-14

Where does Weekends with Daisy rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

average or slightly below

What other book might you compare Weekends with Daisy to and why?

None

What three words best describe Jane Jacobs’s voice?

extreme, distracting, inappropriate
Ms. Jacobs' enunciation is so very precise that it had no "everyday" quality for this tale of a family's relationship with training dogs. She is an expressive storyteller, but her diction was like an opera singer crooning "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer." I laughed right out loud when she read the few instances of cursing: "Oh shit!" "He was pissed off!" Those words would never have come from the mouth (or the pen) of the person this narrator suggests. Distracting!!!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

no

Good book - poor audio editing

Revisado: 01-30-13

Where does What's So Amazing About Grace? rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Handy way to reinforce studying this book

What other book might you compare What's So Amazing About Grace? to and why?

Gary Chapman's "The Five Love Languages" and other spiritual non-fictions that have accompanying study guides.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

The narrator's voice is easy to listen to, BUT the editors did a poor job! When the narrator corrects himself, both the flub and the correction are included -- e.g. narrator decides he didn't read a couple of sentences in the way the author intended or he mispronounces words/phrases, so he records that section a 2nd time with the improvement -- BOTH flub and correction are in this Audible.com version.

Great info, tedious performance

Revisado: 07-09-12

What made the experience of listening to The Slumber of Christianity the most enjoyable?

the ideas presented and the practical analogies

Who was your favorite character and why?

no characters - this is a nonfiction work

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

The narrator's voice is clear and understandable, but the listening is tedious because this narrator seems far more focused on his performance than on the ideas he's communicating to the listener. Three in our family have listened to this audio book, and all have the same opinion of the performance.

What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?

The focus of Christians should be on Him, on the joy of the Hereafter with Him. We short-change our joy by failing to lift our focus heavenward.

Any additional comments?

I would recommend the printed version for this book rather than this audio book.
