More rewarding than funny

Revisado: 07-24-23

More funny than you’d think at first. At times I questioned what I’d got myself into. I personally connected with many of her frustrations with society. Her perspective is unique. I learned a lot and laughed a little.

The ending comes quick

Revisado: 05-09-23

If the author’s note at the end didn’t last so long, I’d have guessed that the ending must come soon. As it was, the ending surprised me and the author’s note did not disappoint. The whole work was a masterpiece. I’m amazed my mind could do the acrobatics I’ve now survived. I’m warmed up I suppose for the feats of the rest of this series! [cracks knuckles]

Well done Mr Fry

Revisado: 01-10-23

Can’t recommend this experience strongly enough! This story is matched to its medium as a nightingale to her song; as Steven Fry to his golden larynx. I give this audio book a full set of constellations out of five.

Kamishibai newb’s pronunciation guide

Revisado: 09-02-22

Classic story spoken in perfect English. and with high quality background music in one version. The disappointment comes with spending a whole credit for 11 minutes of audio. The same amount I spent on the Martian? The same amount I spent on Harry Potter the Deathly Hallows!?

Cute story, spoken clearly and I have to swallow the cost because I need to present Momotaro, The Peach Boy as a kamishibai story at the upcoming Matsuri. I’m bad at speaking Japanese so I have to listen to the Japanese names on repeat so I don’t make a fool of myself on stage. I’m scarred from a particular performance of the bamboo princess. Apparently I wasn’t saying her name right and a particularly indignant audience member had the gaul to call me out on it and tried to correct me right then and there. I’ve gone through all the various courses of action that could be taken and the correct one is to just study my butt off. Learn the tough words forwards and backwards so I can go into the performance with extraordinary confidence. I’ll not be heckled by a hag this time. This matsuri will be different.

One listen to the sample and you’ll understand. This reading off this story is spoken with pitch perfect dictation and if you fancy yourself a kamishibai man, this is an invaluable resource.

Fun details the movie left out

Revisado: 05-01-22

I mean obviously this gets said often about books and movies but having listened to the book second, I’ve got a whole new outlook on the cast of characters with these subtle changes being added to their already rich backgrounds. It’s reading was expertly performed and this book’s content will surely withstand the test of time.

You won’t like the songs in the beginning...

Revisado: 10-03-20

...but by the end you’ll love them. When you’ve finally acclimated to the variation of voices between the many characters, not only in timbre but in their lyrics, by the end of this book, you’ll feel that Rob Inglis had somehow inherited the soul of Tolkien and imbued a microphone with this master of writing’s inner voice as he wrote it. Mesmerizing!

An important message

Revisado: 09-08-20

I would recommend this book to anyone trying to understand why, someone on the other side of the isle would do the things they do. Both sides have been stolen from the people and steered to do anything but the bidding of the people, the yous and the mes. Oh to have a sensible debate about the direction we should take the country; a discussion of philosophy without back handed strategy. This is the American Dream. To rule ourselves by letting each member have an equal voice. Thomas Frank does a good job putting color to the history of how we got here. Dense. Listen in small chunks.

You will like this book

Revisado: 05-08-18

I’m pretty sure you are the type of person who wants to listen to any media that can leverage the hours of character development, lore, artwork and social hierarchy you’ve experienced over the years because you played the campaign of Starcraft, then Broodwar, then Starcraft 2. Why else would you search audible for Starcraft? Yain’t here looken to buy a camper...

And oh man you came to the right place my nerd brethren! We know all about how the story has “evolved” up through LoV. This story seems to build on all of that. That’s why you will enjoy herring
