Insightful, profound and insidiously spellbinding

All the previous reviewers are correct. At first I was impatient with the speaker's slow pace, but the story is just excellent and by the end I kept hoping it would go on and on. I listened while walking in the countryside each day, a pace and setting that suits the male speaker's slower rhythm. The speaker is an excellent performer, but I was impatient with the slower rate; then realized the impatience may be due to a faster life style, the sound bite age.... The quality of the writing and its content are worth enduring the slower pace. I tried downloading part of the file as an MP3 and running it on Windows Media 10 with its variable speed control to see if speeding it up would help, but the file is not compatible with that program. If you've read or heard other works by this author, you'll find American Gods is equal to those efforts.

All good; one narrator too hammy on 1 story.

The craftsmanship, wordsmithing and dialog in the last story was most excellent and the reader was just great, too. The story was also fun.
The other stories were all good scifi.

Lost in a Good Book Audiolibro Por Jasper Fforde arte de portada

Just like Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe

If you like the Hitchiker's Guide, you'll like this, too. Same zany, thought provoking, perspective shifting writing, and extremely well presented by the reader. It's Britain oriented but that's no more off putting than Monty Python was. It should appeal to sci-fi and sci-fantasy readers. Very enjoyable. Makes me want to listen to other books by the same author.

In-depth and well-rounded

I started with the weekly Sci Reivew after looking at reviews for Sci Amer and MIT Tech Review (I record Sci Fri off the radio). Listened to 4 editions for l month. It's ok for what's there, but I expected more quantity. Have tried one issue of MIT Tech and while it covers fewer topics, say 4 or 5 versus 10 or 12, the variety is good and I prefer the greater depth. Sci Amer probably has the depth and variety, too, but I agree with one reviewer who said that SA relies a lot on graphic aids which you won't see. I'm going to post these comments in the Science Review section, too.
