Wrong choice in narrator

Choice in narrator was terrible. If I don't like a book I normally just keep quiet. In this case I still love the story but the narrator butchered it. She is little better than virtual voice. Which frustrates me as I do not purchase virtual voice books.

The story is still just as wonderful as it has always been. I would however recommend a physical or electronic copy and not this audible version.

To be fair there are moments the narrator elevates her reading to the point I can forget she is frustrating me.

I wish I could give this performance more than 5 stars. The music performed throughout the book made the story so engaging. I am such a fan of the series after this. I will be listening to he next book immediately.

There were many chapters where I laughed continually. A unique story and all the more comical told from the remote and objective perspective of the butler.

I do love when the author narrates their own work. Owen Hebbert really delivered and brought the characters to life.

To say more I am afraid I will ruin the enjoyment of experiencing the story and plot twists for yourself.

Found this one completely by chance. I thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning to end. The longer I listened the better it got. Completely unique storyline and fantastic plot twists in the last few chapters.

At times I thought the story was going to veer in different paths to the Netflix interpretation. Things occurred with more finesse in the book

At times I wanted to scream at the characters. Love the tension building.

Thank you Diana Gabaldon for another masterpiece. And thank you Davina Porter for another perfect rendition. I don't know if there is another voice actor as talented out there. Her range is marvelous

I would have enjoyed a completely fictional or completely nonfictional account of this story. many times I was left wondering if the story was actually how things played out.

The story could have been much richer and fuller with attention to detail, much of the story and happenings felt like they were summarised.

I almost gave up but I'm glad I didn't.

The last third of the book gave me food for thought and I enjoyed it.

My favourite characters in this one were Amanda and Oliver.

I did enjoy that it was a fresh story that Netflix has not yet influenced in my mind. I think I enjoyed it all the more due to not having any preconceived notions.

Narrower focus on just the main characters than the Netflix series. I did enjoy it and some very comical moments. Another difference to the Netflix series is that the characters are more likeable. Netflix villianised many events and personality traits, this version seems more like things would actually play out in the real world

This second installment really had us questioning whether Rin is a wizard or a lunatic. The last 3rd of the book finally gave us a definite answer.

The characters were just as enjoyable as in Wizard for Hire. Events which made us feel disappointed in book 1 were taken up again in book 2 and I hope will have satisfactory and pleasing endings in book 3.

My son and I have already purchased Magic Required. We are thrilled to be starting it.

I couldn't stop listening, I have had my earbuds in every opportunity I get. On opening my eyes in the morning I am immediately gripped with thoughts of Mark Whatney. What is he thinking, what challenge is he going to overcome next? What he must be feeling and awe at how he thinks himself out of such life threatening situations. I realise it is fiction, but the mark of good fiction is its ability to pull you into the world of the authors imagination. This story most definitely pulled me in, at times to the point of tears.
The most poignant themes being that of the value of human connection as well as the will to survive.
