Ah, Flavia, my new heroine!

Revisado: 10-03-19

A delightful beginning to what will most probably be the best "new cozy series." I thoroughly enjoyed this story & look forward to the next one. And --- I'm not a teen but in my 80's! Flavia is smart - love all the chemistry & physics references - and at the same time she is still a young girl. She has to deal with a disinterested father & 2 older "meany" sisters. Yea for Flavia - cheer her on!

Mma Ramotse to the rescue - again!

Revisado: 09-24-17

Would you listen to The Handsome Man's Deluxe Café again? Why?

Yes, I would listen again - plan to one day go back & listen to all of them again.

What did you like best about this story?

The story is slow moving, but I like the slow pace & character development.

Which character – as performed by Lisette Lecat – was your favorite?

Ms Lecat is so good it's hard to choose one character I like best.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I wish I could listen to these books in one sitting to keep the story flowing - but don't have that time now.

Humorous insufferable British royalty.

Revisado: 08-06-13

What did you love best about Her Royal Spyness?

I like the main character - she deals with her situation with fun and determination. The various characters around her remind you of why many Americans think the British royalty somewhat pompous and foolish.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

The plot keeps you listening and trying to guess "who done it."

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

The narrator is perfect and brings the "British atmosphere" to life.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Wish I could listen to all the books in one sitting, but, alas, that is impossible.

Any additional comments?

I do plan to listen to more in this series.

Teenagers will enjoy

Revisado: 11-16-12

What about David LeDoux and Jenna Lamia ’s performance did you like?

Liked using both characters - gave a "boost" to the story.

Was Shiver worth the listening time?

This is for teen girls.

Any additional comments?

Once in awhile I like to listen to young people books to keep up with what is new in their genre.

The most stylish ghost you ever met.

Revisado: 05-31-12

What made the experience of listening to Ghost at Work the most enjoyable?

This is a fun read - enjoyed it. I listen to a lot of my recorded books while I'm walking - so I don't want anything too heavy or depressing.

What other book might you compare Ghost at Work to and why?

This is a fun "light" mystery - such as you find in the "Dog On It" stories of Chet and Bernie.

Which character – as performed by Ann Marie Lee – was your favorite?

The best character in the book is the main one - Bailey Ruth (the ghost who is not a ghost!). She is fun loving and very much into fashion.

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

Don't think this would translate to the screen.

Any additional comments?

An easy fun listen.

We bought a zoo -- Why???

Revisado: 05-31-12

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

A good story for listening while you're walking, etc. as there are no major plot twists or mysteries to have to keep up with. This is the real story - not the movie - and it takes place in England. I recommend this for a time when you just can't decide what you want - and you're not in the mood for more murder, mayhem, political intrigue.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

Would have liked to get to know the characters more. More indepth on the children, interaction with the animals.

What about Gildart Jackson’s performance did you like?

Narrators performance is great.

Do you think We Bought a Zoo needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

I would read a follow-up book - if he puts a little more "beef" in it.

Any additional comments?

I realize the author was giving us his real life "diary" of events and not making up sensational happenings.

Life and Fun from a Dog's Perspective

Revisado: 04-24-12

What made the experience of listening to Dog on It the most enjoyable?

A quick, easy, fun read. The dog, Chet, tells the story & it's fun to see how he sees and interprets things.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Chet is probably my favorite character - you wonder how on earth he will get out of some situations.

First novel effort
