Will Patton is my favourite narrator
Revisado: 09-21-23
Anything Will Patton reads, he makes amazing. The story was great, but I cannot imagine enjoying it as much as I did had anyone else read it.

5 stars for keeping me listening, but....
Revisado: 08-03-22
Listened to the entire book in one go. It certainly was very suspenseful and intriguing, but then by the end, I realised that absolutely none of the twists, obvious subplots, or creepy character building had any point by the ultimate ending of the story. Feels like the author began writing this with grander intentions for the plot, put the project down for a couple of years, then picked it back up halfway through writing it, and hurriedly finished it.

Historia
With his characteristic eyebrow-raising behavior, Richard P. Feynman once provoked the wife of a Princeton dean to remark, "Surely you're joking, Mr. Feynman!" But the many scientific and personal achievements of this Nobel Prize-winning physicist are no laughing matter. Here, woven with his scintillating views on modern science, Feynman relates the defining moments of his accomplished life.

What a brilliant guy. So eccentric. love it. The narrator reads with a repetitive cadence. So that was pretty irritating but the book is fantastic nonetheless

Historia
Born from Bukowski's columns, the LA underground press of the 1960s, Bukowski defined his early alter ego, Hank Chinaski, as a self-described dirty old man who eyes his defeatist attitude about himself with his clarity to see humor and holiness in others. Addictive and instructive listening, Bukowski delivers the humanity and intelligence of all the unseen. Filled with his usual obsessions - sex, booze, gambling - Notes features Bukowski's offbeat insights into politics and literature, and his tortured, violent relationships.

Revisado: 10-21-21
The narrator is the greatest performer I've ever heard read a book. Combined with Bukowski's brilliant storytelling, these Bukowski books are hilarious, addictive, and addictive. Just do it.

Historia
A small girl brings Joe Gunther a bird's nest - made partially of human hair. In the search to match a body - and an identity - to the hair's owner, Joe comes across an unexplained death, a grisly murder, and a sudden disappearance. All seem to be entangled in a puzzling web of municipal corruption, blackmail, and industrial espionage. A shell-shocked World War II veteran nicknamed the Ragman may hold the key to it all - but only if Joe can get him to talk before the murderer strikes again.

Most boring book on audible.
Revisado: 05-22-21
The narration is excellent, no problem there I feel bad writing this, but I kept going and going hoping the story would get interesting. When I finally gave up, I was 10 hours in and realised there was literally no time left for any more action or plot development. My advice, give it a miss.

Excellent story destroyed by robot narrator
Revisado: 05-02-21
At first, I thought the file was corrupted because of the computer generated voice of the narration. I deleted it and re downloaded, that is how bad it is.
Now after re-downloading, I am almost certain that this file has been run through some sort of modulation software, and it makes the narration sound like terrible computer generated Siri GPS directions.
I have checked the hyperlinks to the narrator Karen Whatever Her Name Is, and her voice does not sound like this at all on any of the samples of.the other titles she's read. Infact, no human being has a natural voice like this. it absolutely must be an intentional modulation by the sound engineers.
If you're wondering how bad the audio is, you won't get the full grasp of it until after you purchase and then try to grind your teeth through the grating intonations (lack thereof".
Infact, it is almost worth buying the book just to be able to leave this review so the sound engineers can be sent some feedback.
Re-record the book, audible. this is an unsellable product.

Historia
Published in instalments in 1859, The Woman in White is often considered to be one of the very first detective novels. Although critics weren’t impressed at the time, the novel proved to be a hit with the public and has since gone on to become one of the timeless classics of the Victorian era. Following the adventures of Walter Hartright, this is a story of sleuthing, inheritance, ghosts and mistaken identity and was recently the subject of a hit TV adaptation by the BBC.

Nothing happens for 14 hours.
Revisado: 02-08-21
then, after waiting 14 hours, I read the synopsis online and discovered nothing really happens in the next 10 hours either. Beautifully written language and prose, but seems like the author simply wrote to get lost in a world he'd created rather than to delineate any especially planned plotline. can see why was panned by contemporaries in the 1800's. Glad.the book was free under Audible membership

Historia
Art & Fear explores the way art gets made, the reasons it often doesn't get made, and the nature of the difficulties that cause so many artists to give up along the way. This is a book about what it feels like to sit in your studio or classroom, at your wheel or keyboard, easel or camera, trying to do the work you need to do. It is about committing your future to your own hands, placing free will above predestination, choice above chance. It is about finding your own work.
