Falsifying history
Revisado: 08-14-20
What? I mean, what? This guy is living in some kind of fantasy land. The introduction alone is just such a contradiction of reality. Jeez.

This story is about a young soldier, Henry Fleming, fighting in the American Civil War. It is a vivid and stark portrayal of war on the human psyche, interspersed with symbolic imagery and biblical metaphors. The story realistically portrays the young soldier's physical and psychological struggles after fleeing from his first encounter with a battle. He returns to his regiment to become a strong soldier and even taking on the task of the flag bearer in the final battle.

The narrator is just so damn awful
Revisado: 10-13-19
I’m pretty sure the narrator doesn’t understand stories or how to read them out loud. He definitely doesn’t understand tone and inflection.... it’s obvious that he struggles with the idea of when to pause and when not to.
I have had some audiobooks with not-so-great narrators before, but this is the first time that I’ve had a narrator so bad that i couldn’t push through and finish the book. In fact, it was so painful that I didn’t even finish the third chapter.

In the last years of the ninth century, King Alfred of Wessex is in failing health, and his heir is an untested youth. The Danes, who have failed so many times to conquer Wessex, smell opportunity.... First comes Harald Bloodhair, a savage warrior leading a Viking horde. But Alfred still has the services of Uhtred, his unwilling warlord, who leads Harald into a trap and, at Farnham in Surrey, inflicts one of the greatest defeats the Vikings were ever to suffer.

Narrator issues
Revisado: 03-29-19
The guy who narrates books 2 to 4 was really awesome. The guy who narrates this one is pretty average. He is not well cast for the protagonists character. He didn’t bother to listen to any of the other books to get some continuity in the pronunciation of the names of the characters and places, and he just comes across as a bit lame. Please can you get the other guy back? Please?

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 245
Laos, 1979: Dr. Siri Paiboun, the twice retired ex-National Coroner of Laos, receives an unmarked package in the mail. Inside is a handwoven pha sin, a colorful traditional skirt worn in northern Laos. A lovely present, but who sent it to him, and why? And, more importantly, why is there a severed human finger stitched into the sin's lining?

You really need to work on your hiring processes for narrators
Revisado: 12-28-18
As usual, Colin Cotterill has penned a quirky, wonderfully written and captivating novel. The story is historically accurate, well researched, and is lighthearted but also full of action. The characters are engaging and a little whimsical, and the whole thing is a lot of fun.
The question I would like to ask, then, is why the hell you would let this awful narrator mangle the story so badly with his monotonous stoned newsreader narration? After reading all the previous books in the series that are available on audible, I am unfortunately going to have to buy the rest in another format, as this guy is just so terrible that he absolutely ruined any enjoyment I might have has from this novel.
Boo!

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 17
Laos, 1972. The Communist Pathet Lao has taken over. Most of the educated class has fled, but 72-year-old Dr Siri Paiboun, a Paris-trained doctor, remains and is appointed state coroner. When three bodies are recovered from a reservoir, Dr.Siri establishes the cause of death was not drowning - they seem to have been electrocuted. And then there is the inexplicable death of a Party bigwig's wife at a banquet. Dr.Siri doesn't think her death was from natural causes.

What’s with the narrator?
Revisado: 09-18-18
This is a great story... however, I’m making my third attempt to listen to the whole story, having aborted the last two attempts due to the awfulness of the narrator. He seems to think that he’s reading a Monty python sketch to a group of learning impaired four year olds. He gives the Laotian characters cockney accents. He can’t pronounce the Vietnamese names. He can’t even pronounce the name of the country that the novel is set in. He has obviously not even put in twenty minutes on Wikipedia to research the part of the world that the story is set in, and totally fails at every aspect of his job as narrator.
It is such a shame for such a great book to be ruined by such a piss poor performance.
