love Philippa, don't love this book

Revisado: 05-01-21

I LOVE Philippa Gregory. my favorite author of all time, however, this is my least favorite of her "Tudor" books. idk why, maybe because lady Salsbarry is so unlikable or or there just isn't enough interesting subject matter but I cannot get lost in this story in the same way I do all of her other books

nails on chalkboard

Revisado: 03-16-19

the narrorator is DREADFUL! I got to chapter 3 and I just couldn't take it anymore. his voices for the ladies, one sounds like a 90 year old smoker and the other just sounds like a man doing a woman's voice incredibly unconvincingly... his style of reading is just quick and passive and doesn't flow with the different moods of each scene.... so painful to listen to....

sigh

I thought the story sounded interesting. something good and light to listen to on a drive. The writing style is super immature and I feel like it is something I would have written in 10th grads. The narrator is good, I thinlk.... I don't like her but it might just be the copy she is performing.

narrorators are painful!

Revisado: 04-02-18

I used to own this book on either ITunes or CD can't remember which, but it has different, much better, narrators. I loved this book, it was fantastic but oh my gosh, these people are TERRIBLE! The woman voicing Mary Queen of Scots is good and does an excellent, but the last one has a French accent which was nice. the other two are so bad I returned the book after 30 minutes of listening. why they even have it recorded more than once by different voice actors is beyond me.... sad....

Terrible Narrator

Revisado: 12-25-17

I returned this book because the narrator was terrible. her performance is stilted, choppy and monotone. There is little difference between the voices of different characters I could have read this book better and I can't read out loud worth beans.

Nonsense

Revisado: 07-02-17

Was excited about this book, heard about it on NPR and the interview made it seem promising. It was spastic and nonsensical and what the heck was the Elmer Fud bit?!?! Terrible. Listened for 3 hours just waiting for it to get good, never happened.

Narration AMAZING.....story not so much (SPOILERS)

Revisado: 07-05-16

The narrators KILLED IT in the best way. A great performance with great character voices, personality etc. It is too bad that the story itself was slow and at some points terribly gruesome! Yikes! I found the characters to be boring and really frustrating. And the worst of all was the ending. It seems SUPER far fetched and like mrs Flynn was trying really hard to add an unexpected twist which just made for an ending that completely comes out of left field, and not in a good way. I LOVED Sharp Objects and Gone Girl! Thought they were interesting, dynamic and intriguing! But this book kept me looking to see how much time I had left and like I said, the ending was trying WAY too hard and it kind of killed the book for me. Will read others by this author but this one is not going to hang out in my library they way Gone Girl has.

Realm liked it

Revisado: 10-14-15

Reading some other reviews I was very skeptical about this book but i was very pleasantly surprised! I don't think she was touting her poor decisions, I think she was just telling people about her life. I enjoyed the performance and the writing as well.
