Couldn't Take the Narration

Revisado: 10-14-16

Would you try another book from Jennifer Ashley and/or Angela Dawe?

Jennifer Ashley: yes
Angela Dawe: probably not

Any additional comments?

After the first couple of chapters, I simply could not listen to the lack of prosody in the narration. The dialogue wasn't bad, but the 3rd person commentary was abhorrent. I gave this 3 stars in the other categories, because I'm not quite there with the written book. Probably will be higher than the 3 stars.

Worth the Time...Mostly

Revisado: 03-18-16

Would you consider the audio edition of The Girl on the Train to be better than the print version?

I absolutely loved the narrators. I have friends who never finished the print version and compared it to another book that got tremendous hype, but was not a great read.

Which character – as performed by the narrators – was your favorite?

Megan

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Couldn't do the book justice, so N/A

A Disappointment After All The Hype

Revisado: 12-19-14

Any additional comments?

After all of the hype and my really liking the Naked Werewolf series, this one was a huge disappointment. I didn't think it did the genres of comedy, paranormal, or romance any justice. I very seldom don't finish a book, but this one bored me so much I couldn't bring myself to turn it back on after a while.

I Hated This Book

Revisado: 03-08-14

Any additional comments?

I don't really know what I expected, but this was not it. Perhaps I don't like this kind of science fiction. I listened to the whole book, but it was a struggle.

Starts a little slow, but...

Revisado: 05-29-13

Any additional comments?

Almost finished with book #3, this book (#2) was not as compelling as #1 or #3. It started a bit slow, but the OUTSTANDING NARRATION made it so I never considered not finishing this segment of Jamie and Claire's journey. I'm beginning to believe that my listening future is tied up with these books for a while. When does book #8 come out? I hope It's available on audible.com immediately.

The Start of a Long Journey

Revisado: 04-10-13

Any additional comments?

This book was an amazing beginning to a long and enthralling saga. I know I could read it faster, but the narrator makes the listen SO worthwhile.

Seriously?

Revisado: 04-20-12

I knew this book would be a funny romp in the continued life of our favorite bounty hunter. Unfortunately, I'll have to read all about it, because after just a couple of chapters, I simply could not continue with the horrible narration. How could you take a classic series like this one and destroy the humor, the prosody, the timing? Do I sound disappointing? You bet I am. I seldom toss an audio title, even if the narration is suspect. But this one? The only direction I'll take here will be towards my Nook where I know I'll enjoy the tale. Shame on you. I paid for this title. Shame on me.

The Narration Made It Happen

Revisado: 02-17-12

A Discovery of Witches is a paranormal romance. It's a love story first, and a mystery after that. I listened to this book while friends read it. I enjoyed it way more than they did due to the excellent narration. I think the book could have been a bit shorter, and I think the romance was too overdone. If I hear the phrase "moi couer" one more time, I think I'll scream.

Even with those drawbacks, I enjoyed the story. I'm looking forward to the 2nd book, hoping that the same narrator does the job.

The Narrator Messed Up The Rating

Revisado: 12-15-11

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

The narrator could have used the voices she used in the previous titles.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Seduction in Death?

I'm not finished with the book yet.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Boring; no change in voices.

What character would you cut from Seduction in Death?

N/A

Any additional comments?

I came to work this morning intent on doing exactly what I'm doing, only to find out that pretty much all of the reviews are about the disappointing narration. I love this series, and I love listenint to it rather than reading it mostly because of the voices. I fell in love with Roarke by
