Great advice to budding authors.

Revisado: 05-29-18

Enjoyable book on writing including many fun anecdotes tips and a few exercises. I did not know what to expect but found I could not wait to get back to listening. Anne Lamott delivers her advice with wit and humour leaving me wanting more. I will probably re-listen many times.

ALL ROUND GREAT LISTEN

Revisado: 12-22-17

I love this bag of mixed nutty Christmas stories. Deliciously ridiculous to downright sarcastic, Sedaris always puts a funny twist on any subject. Thoroughly enjoyable!

Beautiful slice of life

Revisado: 08-22-17

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. The book is lovely - full of mystical prose.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Flight Behavior?

The characters are earthy and authentic. Kingsolver's writing is funny, beautiful and profound.

What does Barbara Kingsolver bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She has just the right accent and cadence for this slice of life.

Any additional comments?

A great read by a great author.

Like listening to a sales pitch.

Revisado: 08-20-17

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

If it was written by a more personable or knowledgable author.

What could Kevin Leman have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Offer more insight and information and take out all his personal back-patting. Don't try to sell himself and everything he says. If you have good material it will sell itself.

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

Not really. I shut it off after the author lists Bill O'Rielly, Rush Limbaugh (and Bill Cosby) as paragons of their birth orders. Just disgusting.

Any additional comments?

If you are looking for real information on birth order try Born to Rebel: Birth Order, Family Dynamics, and Creative Lives or another book. This one is just boring and insipid.

Great Book - not so great reading.

Revisado: 08-02-17

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Yes - it is one of the best youth books in the world.

What didn’t you like about Laurie Klein’s performance?

I thought she started out well but after a few chapters she seemed over-exaggerated and not true to character. Her voice was a little grating and the acting was bad.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Yes.

FUN and QUIRKY bits of life.

Revisado: 06-13-17

What made the experience of listening to Theft by Finding the most enjoyable?

Sedaris takes us on a journey filled of weird humans of the world. The French tales are amazingly close to my experiences as a Canadian working in Paris in the 90's.

What did you like best about this story?

I love Sedaris' take on life throughout the years - he touches on major events but finds the most interest in the doings of ridiculous human beings on a personal scale.

Which character – as performed by David Sedaris – was your favorite?

Sedaris' work is always best preformed by the author - I highly recommend this audiobook to all those who enjoy a good chuckle. If you think your life is not interesting a little Sedaris will help you see there is always something to laugh at.

BEST UNABRIDGED READING

Revisado: 05-31-17

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes - this is an epic book with a great read by Rob Inglis.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Peter Jackson did it better.

Any additional comments?

Rob Inglis does a fantastic read of this Tolkien classic - great characterizations and high drama all the way through. The only weak spot would be the songs - the guy is not a singer LOL.

Great cozy mystery if you love PD James.

Revisado: 05-02-17

Would you listen to The Private Patient again? Why?

Yes - it's plot and characters are complex enough that a second or third listen could be enjoyed. PD James has a wonderful way with words and I always add to my dictionary when reading her.

Which character – as performed by Rosalyn Landor – was your favorite?

She was good with all the characters.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

It is too long for that one sitting but makes you want to get back to it right away.

Any additional comments?

PD James is my absolute favourite mystery author and this read was great. I have tried to listen to Penelope Dellaportia's reads but they fall far short of the mark so it was pleasant to find a good reader attached to one of the Queen of Crime's books! Please make more!

Good listen.

Revisado: 05-02-17

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Yes - it is great for a lazy listen or a beach read, as are most of Barclay's books.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

I would not.

What about Jeffrey Cummings’s performance did you like?

He was perfectly cast for this story and did a great job with his characterizations.

Was Never Look Away worth the listening time?

Yes - it is loaded with twists and turns (some a bit predicable perhaps) that keep you interested and is great light reading or listening.

Any additional comments?

Very satisfied with this audio book.

Great read of a good mystery.

Revisado: 05-02-17

Would you listen to A Tap on the Window again? Why?

No - the story is simple so one listen is enough.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes - it's a good little mystery - easy to listen to with lots of twists and likeable main character.

Which character – as performed by Mark Zeisler – was your favorite?

The detective.

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

It was touching and well crafted. No great lasting reactions, just a good book.

Any additional comments?

The reader was well-suited to the book and his acting was perfect for it. Barclay almost always spins a good yarn and this one was a good listen. Very enjoyable.
