Totally Enjoyable

Revisado: 10-28-23

Had an extra Audible credit and was looking for something different to listen to. Was intrigued to see that the author was also the narrator. Who better to tell the story than someone who was inspired by writing the story. I also am an audiobook narrator, and obviously love it when authors turn over the story telling to the professionals. However… I thought that the narration of this book was excellent. It was told exactly as I would imagine Sam would tell his own story. Intriguing storyline, and heartwarming characters.

Spooky and compelling

Revisado: 03-30-23 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Just finished listening to this first novel by Nick Jacobs. Loved the book and the audio version certainly did not disappoint. Alexandra Hunter did an amazing job narrating the story. Her voice was perfect for the basic narration and she created some interesting characters that just might keep you awake at night. There are lots of spooky scenes and twists and turns to keep you guessing. Loved the book and can’t wait for the next one in the series.

Just WOW!

Revisado: 12-12-21

In the preface of this narration, Chet Williamson notes that The Great Gatsby is one of his favorite novels and it shows! His rich baritone voice and obvious fondness for the characters comes through in every word. His ability to set a scene and then to make it come alive to our ears is a joy. But….the real “Wow” factor in this F. Scott Fitzgerald collection comes through with the 6 short stories that follow Gatsby. Mr. Williamson’s knack for giving words life is a gift, and the tone changes with each tale. His rendering of each offering creates a unique journey for the listeners as they take in the often hilarious plots and subplots. A must listen.

Not for the easily distracted

Revisado: 04-30-13

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

No....very drawn out and difficult to follow.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Grover Gardner?

Maybe

Could you see The Accursed being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

No

Any additional comments?

Love Oates's work....had high expectations but was very disappointed. Made it 2/3 of the way through but finally gave up.

An American Classic

Revisado: 08-27-12

Where does The World According to Garp rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Somehow, I missed reading this classic but was glad for the opportunity to listen to it. Loved the story and the rich characters....typical John Irving excellence. Not so impressed with the narrator and the production quality of the recording.....sounded very dated and amateurish. I would love to hear it read by a more contemporary narrator.
