Great plot

Revisado: 04-03-25

Steve Cavanagh writes tightly plotted thrillers. They are wonderfully gripping and a lot of fun. To this native New Yorker the setting seems like an alternative-reality New York, and if you can get past that you’d enjoy this and other novels. He’s an excellent storyteller.

Compelling story. Unfortunately the characters aren’t as compelling as they should be to make up for their lack of sympathy.

Should have had two narrators. The narrator did not do a good job of character definition and the story would have read better either way a male-female back and forth.

Another triumph

Revisado: 04-20-24

The latest Anthony Horowitz is a delight. As always. This audiobook has the added pleasure of Rory Kinnear, one of the greatest audiobook narrators there is, with his wonderful voice and dramatic zest.

Émouvant

Revisado: 11-14-23

Un roman brilliant sur l’art, la perte, l’amour, l’amitié et les tensions entre la loyauté envers soi-même et sa famille. À travers la première moitié du XXe siècle en Italie, nous voyons les triomphes d’un sculpteur nain ainsi que les déceptions et les folies de sa vie extraordinaire. Magnifiquement écrit. Magnifiquement raconté par le narrateur.

Wonderful and terrifying

Revisado: 09-10-23

Another brilliant story from the great Stephen King. His ability to create believable and sympathetic characters facing dire situations is unmatched. As is his thrilling imagination.

La narratrice a gâché l’histoire

Revisado: 03-07-22

Une histoire réaliste et parfois clichée mais c’était ce que l’auteur a voulu faire- les vies ordinaires et leurs espoirs, leur tristesse et leur joies éphémères. Le personnage de Hélène n’était pas du tout sympathique. On espérait qu’elle serait au même intéressante.
Pire, la narratrice donne l’impression qu’elle voulait terminer la lecture au lieu de raconter une histoire. Elle narrait tous les personnages avec le même ton terne, de sort qu’on ne pouvait pas les différencier, et elle a raconté le dialogue de la même manière terne sur la prose. Parfois le narrateur peut rendre l’écriture pire qu’elle ne l’est, et c’est ce qui s’est passé ici.
Un auteur lauréat du Goncourt mérite mieux.

Great tale if revenge and redemption

One of the best Wilkie Collins novels finally gets a recording and it is everything you could wish for. Beautifully narrated by a brilliant cast, this novel shines.

Brilliant company for a complex subject

Revisado: 07-03-21

Professor Don Lincoln is a perfect companion for an exploration of modern physics. He has a wonderful, warm and inviting voice and he speaks to the listener with authority as well as humility. I am not gifted in mathematics -- but thanks to Professor Lincoln's deft and lucid explanations of some of the most challenging discoveries in physics and cosmology as well as some of the more abstract concepts such as dark matter and dark energy, I have come away knowing a lot more about how we came to be here in the universe. I hope he can create other courses like this -- I would gladly follow him anywhere.
