I’d forgotten why Asimov is the greatest science fiction writer of all time. Endlessly inventive, wheels within wheels. The reader does both an old man’s voice and a woman’s voice well.

I read this 50 years ago, and just finished listening to it with my wife on a road trip. Uplifting theme, engaging characters, good reader who voiced crotchety women as well as she did a wide-eyed girl.

A window into 1937

The book is a window into 1937 with speakeasies, cars with sideboards and cranks and engines that had to be kept warm if you might need to go somewhere in a hurry, and mail planes you could book a seat on. It’s also one of the few Perry Mason novels with no courtroom action. It was fun though and drew me along. The narrator distinguished all the characters well - he did some great voices - except for the women. I’m afraid his rendition of Della Street took some getting used to.

An engaging prequel to the Fire and Ice saga. There's lots of room for sequels, and I hope Martin writes them...after he finishes the Game of Thrones series.

Well-developed characters facing tough situations. World-building to rival Tolkien. No bad language or sex scenes to make you cringe when you realize your listen is being overheard.

Robin Hobb is at her best when channeling FitzChivalry. Some really tense moments made all the better by the slower parts that delineated characters and relationships so masterfully.

The story features a hypersensitive protagonist with a lot of internal dialogue. A psychological thriller as much as a haunted house story.

The narrator's tone was appropriate, but I had some trouble distinguishing the voices of two of the female characters.

A story about the nature of love - self-love, romantic love, selfless love - and about sacramental Christianity. It's set in England during World War II, and the characters are very real and very well realized. Where the novel goes at the end is completely unexpected and, in fact, made the hair stand up on the back of my neck.

Colin Firth gives life to the introspective and often unpleasant narrator. He may be the best reader I've ever listened to. I especially liked the way he handled a woman's "voice," which he had to keep up for a good bit of the story. Often, men don't handle the voices of women very well.
