Loved It

Revisado: 08-21-24

I enjoyed this one so much and found myself slowing down to make it last longer. I loved Shiloh and Cary as they were so relatable and believable. I cared about these characters and their complicated relationship, and I especially loved Cary and his tenderness towards Shiloh. The narrator is wonderful which added to the enjoyment.

A Great Narrator

Revisado: 01-13-24

I have read several Stephen King books, the non-horror ones, and I think he is a gifted and talented writer. He keeps the action coming in this one and the two main characters, Bill Hodges who is a retired detective and bad guy, Brady Hartsfield, come to life. There are also several good supporting characters: Jerome, Bill's teenage neighbor and friend, and Holly, who is in her 40s and has many personality issues. But what makes this audio book so wonderful is Will Patton; he is an excellent narrator who pulled me into the story and kept me interested. He is especially good at different characters' voices; it is just right, not overdone or jarring. I soon knew which character I was listening to just by Will's voice. This one is well worth your credit, and I want to listen to more books narrated by Will Patton.

Not That Great

Revisado: 10-02-23

This one was a miss for me, and it was overhyped. The focus of the book is on two women involved in two of the Ted Bundy murders, one in Florida and one in Washington State. Ted Bundy's name is never mentioned, and he is often called "the defendant." The book jumps around quite a bit with different times/places/people. I was not interested in the outcome but pressed on hoping it would get better, which it didn't.

One to Skip

Revisado: 08-24-23

A new Ann Patchett book is always something to look forward to, but this one is just not good. I thought Meryl Streep as the narrator could save it, but she could not. The back and forth of Lara's telling her adult daughters about her roles as Emily in the play, "Our Town" combined with her present life where she lives on a cherry orchard became repetitive and boring. I pressed on just to finish it. This is one to skip.

Really Good

Revisado: 05-06-23

Dan Bittner is a great narrator as his voice moves the story along nicely. I didn't especially like Emma Galvin's voice though as I thought Ava sounded too childlike and took away from the story. The action moves quickly but it is easy to follow; I was invested in the storyline and wanted a good outcome for Jack and Matty.

I Loved Everything About This One

Revisado: 04-17-23

I listened slowly to this one as it was so good and I wanted it to last a long time. It would be great to read this in print too. The narrator is perfect, the story drew me in and stayed strong to the end. I loved everything about this one. Highly recommend.

An Enjoyable Listen

Revisado: 03-22-23

This is a fun listen as we get to know the Stocketon family who are a rich family living in Brooklyn. The three points of view are two of the adult Stockton children, Darley and Georgiana and their sister-in-law, Sasha. The writing is well done and things move along at a good pace. There are plenty of reasons to keep listening. It is often funny, but their are real-life issues too. Marin Ireland is a treat to listen to, and I always enjoy her books.

One to Skip

Revisado: 03-11-23

I had recently listened to " Miss Benson's Beetle" and enjoyed it so much. It is a wonderfully entertaining audiobook. And I have read "The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry" which was a great book too. This one is a slow, rambling account of Queenie at a nursing home which I found uninteresting and repetitive. I did not care about any of her caregivers or the other people there. And I found it hard to go along with Queenie's relationships with Harold and his son, David. The narrator was great, but still, I would skip this one.

So Entertaining, So Funny, So Good

Revisado: 02-08-23

This is such a great audio book and well worth a credit as we go on a journey with two women in search of a golden beetle. Narrator Juliet Stevenson makes this audio so entertaining, so funny, and so good. I enjoyed my time with these women and grew to love them.
