Bad reader

Revisado: 04-05-24

Native Mississippians here. This is a great story with a great depiction of attitudes on race (aside from the comically bad male gaze love scenes). But the reader is … painful. Nobody on this planet has ever pronounced Natchez that way. Talk about cringe. It was bad enough suffering through his weird female and child voices, but nat-CHEHZ nearly killed me. Read this one, don’t listen.

Lame predictable plot

Revisado: 03-06-24

Boring, predictable plot. Bone acting was okay —some even good— except for the lisping guy. Not an enjoyable listen, and I fell asleep multiple times trying to get through it.

Boring, predictable

Revisado: 12-02-23

Excellent reader, but the story just could not be salvaged. The only good character is mom.

Awful

Revisado: 11-25-23

What obnoxious people. This story was so bad and the jokes somehow worse than dad jokes that I couldn’t finish it.

Unbelievably bad narration

Revisado: 10-09-23

Mispronounced words, bad cadence, poor reading comprehension resulting in pauses in wrong places, no inflection or emphasis… The narration is awful on this, and comes near ruining this important classic American literature.

Enjoyable, difficult listen

Revisado: 04-20-23

These are great vignettes about some well-known women and several lesser-known. I was inspired by many of the stories. The lecturer is hard to listen to at times, but the stories make up for any weakness there, and she’s clearly passionate about the material. Hoping to get my daughter to listen to it.

Boring

Revisado: 02-12-23

I don’t write and so it seems disingenuous to criticize work I can’t reproduce or do better. But here I am anyway, in my arrogance.

I’m new to Sanderson and loved Mistborn and Stormlight. This isn’t that. It’s hard to pin down what is so terrible about this story, but I’ve been listening to this for the past two or three weeks and could not stay awake. Finally finished last night, and I will not listen to the next two in this series. I’ll switch back to his not-Western stuff.

That reader guy is snooty sounding and the accents are inexplicable every time. Australia? On another planet? He seems to miss the point of a passage and his delivery butchers it. The pauses between scene shifts within a chapter are too short and inconsistent, often leaving the listener bewildered. I hate suffering this guy to get to the good story, and I do wish authors would move off him. There are many many better audiobook readers.

Truly awful narration of interesting history

Revisado: 11-09-22

This history is incredibly interesting and it’s a great exploration of source documents near the events of the first great awakening. Unfortunately, the reader of this audio book is so awful that it becomes near impossible to determine when Tracey ends and a quoted passage begins. This is probably one I should have bought in paper form.

Not the best

Revisado: 08-19-22

This isn’t the best of the Jeeves and Wooster books. This installment is definitely skippable.

Predictable

Revisado: 08-26-21

Predictable plot twists, read by people who could not keep their “southern” accents on point. Not my favorite.
