ANGELA

Can't even get past the first couple of chapters!

Revisado: 08-22-18

I was really excited yesterday when I noticed this new book. The premise looked very interesting. A dystopian story about women who can only speak 100 words a day. Wow! how will this play out? Well, I don't know because very early on you find out that Christianity is the reason for the entire silencing of Women. Not some wacko cult group or a few bad apples that are power hungry but the entire establishment of religion and, of course, white men. I just couldn't stomach much of this book. I read that this book is comparable to The Handmaids Tale. Well, its NOT!

Best book this year!!!!

Would you listen to The Wolf of the North, Book 1 again? Why?

Yep! I love coming of age stories, however, a lot of them out there are annoying. The author makes their trials too easy or the main character is always the only one coming out unscathed. This is not that kind of story. The author did an excellent job of weaving a vivid world and amazing characters.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Wolf of the North, Book 1?

There are so many. I really like what he does at the end. Cant give it away.

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

His style of narration is spot on. He makes this story come alive.

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

I rooted for Wolfrick from the first chapter to the last.

Any additional comments?

I have listened to many stories like this one and this makes the top of the list. I cant wait for the next book to come out. I may just have to buy the paper copy and read it this weekend.

Would you try another book from Michael J. Totten and/or Steven Roy Grimsley?

I don't think I will.

What was most disappointing about Michael J. Totten’s story?

I liked the plot, however, the characters were very flat. The author only gives you a little background about these people and then he tries to put them in situations that really require a lot more insight. Example: One character apparently falls in love with another character, however, they never even had a serious conversation together. It just didn't work and I couldn't get into it. The choices these people make are really dumb.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Steven Roy Grimsley?

I thought the narrator was actually good. He is the only reason I even gave this 2 stars.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Annoyance

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

This is one of the best audiobooks I have ever listened to. The narrator was not the best but he wasnt the worst either. I could tolerate him. The story is what was so great. I loved all the different people and their lives. Cant wait to listen to the next book in the series.

What disappointed you about NOS4A2?

The narrator made everyone sound like they were mental and very whiney.

What was most disappointing about Joe Hill’s story?

The entire plot was bad and the part involving religion was disturbing to me.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Kate Mulgrew?

Anyone else. There are so many good female narrators I don't understand why anyone would go with someone who made everyone sound so dumb.

What character would you cut from NOS4A2?

I just couldn't get into this book at all I didnt like anyone really.

Any additional comments?

I don't know how this book ended. I just gave up and stopped listening. I don't normally write reviews, however, I thought I would so maybe I could save someone from using a credit on this.

I love books with strong women charachters and this one was one of the best i have listened to this year. The story is really engrossing but the narrator really makes it great! Cant wait to down load the second book. I wish all narrators were this good!

VERY GOOD BOOK

Revisado: 09-07-10

I really liked this book. It was different from any other book i have listened to because there is a seperate person reading for each part. I wish more books were narrated this way. I thought the story line was great and the heroine was awsome. I wish i could find more books like this.

WONDERFUL!!

Revisado: 09-07-10

I loved the entire series - the narrator droned a little in all the books but still a good listen. You cant really catch up if you havent read the first 2 books. These books are really well written and so easy to listen to that i found myself listening all the time. I am really sad the series is over. The reason i gave 4 stars instead of 5 is i thought the first 2 were perfect and the last was really a wrap up with alot more charachters. That got a little tedious to follow sometimes. Anyway these are really great books.
