A deeply moving and scary story

Revisado: 06-06-15

As an individual with a neurological condition, this book touch me deeply. How Huntigton's disease affected a tough Boston family and how each
Member dealt with not only accepting their Father's disease, but their own uncertain future was too closed for comfort.

This is a great story, with relatable characters and great performance. Another win for Lisa Genova.

Mystical Masterpiece

My love for this story grows with each reading and the audio version (both English and Spanish) does the story justice.

Outstanding!!

Where does A Storm of Swords rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This book is definitely on my top 5.

What did you like best about this story?

What didn't I like? the intricate stories; the evolution of a great number of characters; the tragedy and the comedy. This book has it all.

What does Roy Dotrice bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I think Roy Dotrice has put forth a great performance. It can not be easy to keep track of that sheer number of characters and to give each their own brand, but he has pulled it off sucessfully.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I just gasped a lot. This is where it all goes down!

Love and Marriage..Gone Terribly Wrong

Revisado: 09-08-12

Where does Gone Girl rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This title is right on the top of the list of my favorites audiobooks. My Mt. Everest is "Beat The Reaper" when comparing thrillers. Gone Girl is a worthy companion

What was one of the most memorable moments of Gone Girl?

Definitely when Amy (oh amazing Amy! so crafty) put her plan in motion

What does Julia Whelan and Kirby Heyborne bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

At first I was not convinced about Mr. Heyborne's performance, but at I'm listening, I started to appreciate his narration. They both did great.

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

Meet the Perfect Mate...Now Destroy Him/Her

Any additional comments?

This is a dark tale of two self involved individuals that had the luck and misfortune of meeting, fall in love and be bounded for life. For better or worse indeed.

Suspenful and riveting!

Revisado: 05-08-12

This story was gripping and the ???villain??? here was a devastating disease that pretty much wiped a community and left others paralyzed, figuratively and literally speaking. Philip Roth???s writing can be ???precious??? at times, and his recurring character, Nathan Zuckerman, is pretty unlikeable; that being said, this novel did have all the elements (intrigue and a tragic and relatable main character) and was pretty enjoyable.

Dennis Boutsikaris is the perfect narrator. He brings the gravitas and the depth needed and his performance is just as riveting as the story. He is Philip Roth's voice.

A Revolutionary Tale

Revisado: 05-07-12

This is a very fascinating book. It details the evolution of Bruno, a chimpanzee, from ape to a primate closer to its human form. I think this evolution was mainly possible due to knowledge; his craving for it and the availability and willingness of others to offer it to Bruno. There are elements to the book that are way too fantastic, as well as a bit difficult to swallow at face value. But overall, it is a story that exalts the best of the human condition, but using a primate as the main character.

The performance was great. Robert Petkoff is a very gifted narrator and performer; he could read the phone book and make it seem like he is reading early 19th century English literature. His voice changes very on the mark and slightly petulant voice he gave Bruno gave true life to this character.

Epic!!

Revisado: 05-02-12

Full disclosure: I am not a fan of the fantasy genre, so I had pretty much ignored this book for ages. But after viewing the first season of "Game of Thrones" in one sitting (there is a silver lining to the stomach flu!), I decided to give the book a try. The fantasy elements are present, but do not take over the story; the author seems to be more interesting in developing the characters than to come up with the wildest, fantastic beasts that other authors tend to abuse.

This is a sweeping saga, with unforgettable characters (hard to keep track of the many names and houses and sigils, but be patient!). But at its core, it is a story of not just good vs. evil, but of honor, family, ambition and yes, human evilness. I am looking forward to the other books in the series.

Side note; do not get attached to anyone
