At Shar's Place...

Heinlein's always a good read...

Revisado: 03-30-13

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Good story, easy listening sci fi/mystery.

Would you be willing to try another book from Robert A. Heinlein? Why or why not?

Always--one of those rare authors whose books you can buy without worry. Always a winner!

Which character – as performed by Lloyd James – was your favorite?

Couldn't say...all good.

Could you see Citizen of the Galaxy being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

No. Good basic premise, but there's probably not enough to it for other than a 'made for tv' quickie. The writers, unless they were totally locked into Heinlein, could easily end up ruining it all. (See the Dresden Files--a favorite book series by author Jim Butcher--for a sample of such a transition. Good? Bad? I guess it depends on how much you love the written word--and your mental image of the hero/heroine.)

YOU CAN'T MISS...!

Where does Blood Rites rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I can't rate only Blood Rites--I have to rate the whole Dresden Files series. I have been a fan of these books for years, eagerly awaiting a 'next' in the series and at the same time fearing that Mr. Butcher will tire of 'our' wizard hero. I am, even as I write this, rereading (re-hearing?) the entire series. I'm in the middle of 'Turn Coat, again, building up slowly to the latest release (...lol...anticipation is great!!).

What did you like best about this story?

Hard question to answer--the character development, the interaction, the new insights. In Turn Coat, for instance, we get to see Molly growing up and coming into her own, Morgan turning into a real person (...lol...yet still remaining Morgan), Mouse a bit more than the average dog...and Thomas, poor Thomas--we are left worrying over Harry's brother...

Have you listened to any of James Marsters’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I cannot imagine anyone other than James Marsters reading the Dresden Files. This man is so incredibly talented, able to keep the characters 'themselves.' You always know when it is Harry speaking, and Molly and Morgan and...

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laugh and chuckle and groan through all of the books. It's really difficult to point out just one or two instances--the enjoyment and interest is there through all of them "Where the bad guys will see us and send someone else to kill us," Molly said [in response to an action proposed by Harry]. "No wonder I'm the apprentice--because I'm so ignorant, I can't see WHY that isn't a silly idea!" It is unfortunate that you cannot hear what I am listening to as I write this--the inflections added to the words by James Marsters reading just brings it to life for you.Toot Toot, a pixie fairy, one of the 'wee folk,' just cracks me up (and makes ME hungry for pizza!). Such a brave little braggart, willing to aid and abet in whatever way he can, spying on evil rapscallions and more, all for the reward of pizza (though, for the life of me, I don't recall if a particular type of pizza is favored by the little guy--pepperoni and cheese? Plain? Thin crust or thick?)

Any additional comments?

The Dresden Files series is good from the beginning to the end--I am so delighted Mr. Butcher decided to continue this wonderful alternate Chicago for all of us!

I loved it, and my shoes did, too!

What made the experience of listening to Don't Make Me Choose Between You and My Shoes the most enjoyable?

Light, fun, fast 'reading'--I thoroughly enjoyed the listen, and even laughed out loud a time or two!

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

Got me interested enough to check out Jimmy Choo shoes...lol...and wondering if Mr. Choo has a love/hate relationsip with women because of his wonderfully sexy, possibly painful, footwear (some of which really COULD be used as weapons!).

Have you listened to any of Peggity Price???s other performances before? How does this one compare?

How can you NOT listen to someone named Peggity Price? She's good--and good enough to follow.

Any additional comments?

Very well done--but now I find myself wondering which one I should purchase next...
