It was all great. Highly recommended as a book to listen to again and again.

Benedict Cumberbatch's voice makes the dense theories accessible because I gladly listen to a sentence 10 times over.

I've listened twice and will no doubt listen again. Has changed my perception of life on a deep level.

Fabulous story

Revisado: 02-14-24

According to Physics, big objects need a lot of initial energy to get going. This is a big object. I do appreciate how Bauer gives each character depth enough to stick to me long after the last scene. And the end is worth every minute. Terrific writing and a lot of gruesome details, which I usually dislike but can grit my teeth through with Bauer.

So fresh in its writing and plot. Original, fun, full of pathos and surprises.

The reading was extraordinary. I'm now looking up Rupert Degas'other books to listen to and, of course, Belinda Bauer as an author.

A Mind-blowing Account of Brooklyn's Pride

Revisado: 08-19-22

Hugh Ryan is the perfect narrator of his own book. Serious with an occasionally campy inflection, scholarly when not hilariously funny, and entertainingly educational. He brings to life the multifaceted characters of Brooklyn's queer history, from Crane Hart to Truman Capote. Guaranteed to make your drive worth every minute.

A good tale beautifully read

Revisado: 08-06-22

As usual, Edoardo Ballerini does not disappoint. The story is a perfect summer listen while being educational enough, convoluted enough, and romantic enough. A bit too much violent for me but seldom on center stage.

One of the best Audible books ever

Revisado: 05-07-22

The plot is wonderful, the pace a delight, the language being compare, and then, of course, there's Eduardo Ballerini. Some have said they find it slow, but this is literature, not a mystery, and I felt plenty of tension throughout.

Ralph Fiennes's voice+Ondaatje's is pure paradise

Revisado: 04-20-22

The plot is not a mirror of the movie, which gives the story a refreshing element of surprise. Fiennes's voice is a perfect companion to the rich, elegant, and literary writing. Guaranteed to be a pleasure. Yes, it's abridged, but I didn't mind a bit.

Did you like Different Seasons? You'll love this.

Revisado: 01-10-22

Stephen King explores love, but not of the romantic kind; why write; and full-throttle suspense in a book that I, who can't read most horror, would happily listen to again.

Early O'Brian Is Great Fun and Tragedy

Revisado: 09-22-21

I've read all of I'm Brianna works, some multiple times. This like early sketch of the relationship between Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin in O'Brian's later works, which is interesting in itself. It also offers very humorous vignettes and a long, horrific cottage asking the Horn. I'm sorry, lots of bang for your buck.
