Review of Narration

Revisado: 12-05-22

Since I'm the author, I can only review the narration and production. Both are outstanding.

Lisa Baarns and Red Baarns Audio are absolutely top-notch audiobook producers. I can't recommend them enough to any author who would like their own book produced in audio format.

Author Review on Narration

Revisado: 01-03-20

I review my own book to give my opinion of the narrator's work. Chiquito Crasto worked diligently to produce an excellent audio book and he deserves to be recognized for this talent and work.

Perfect Narrator

Revisado: 11-19-19 El oyente recibió este título gratis

As the author, I can only review the narrator, Chiquito Crasto, who did a great job. He sounds just like I imagined Abu Nuwas (the story teller) to sound when I wrote the book.

Kudos to Danny Hughes-Narrator

Revisado: 06-22-18

As the author, I can only honestly review the narrator and producer. I'd say Danny Hughes is topnotch. He managed to create memorable characters by inflection, speech patterns, and accents.

Also, top marks to the audio book producer: Archieboy Audiobook Production.

If you're looking to create an audio book of your own work, look for Archieboy and Danny Hughes at ACX.

My Review is for the Narration

Revisado: 11-02-14

Where does Scotch Broom rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

As the author, I think this penultimate book in the Witches of Galdorheim series is the best one, so I'll rate it #1.

What did you like best about this story?

Lisa Baarns narration brings to life all the various characters. Given that a good portion of them are fairy animals, her ability to make it easy to distinguish between them is fantastic. The reader knows when there's a conversation between Sianach and Cusith, which one is speaking. At times, four characters in dialogue are all easily told one from another without unnecessary dialogue tags.

Which character – as performed by Lisa Baarns – was your favorite?

Glaistig, the gray lady vampire of Scotland, is wonderfully drawn with a sexy, but breathy voice. It's easy to hear Glaistig's ability to draw men to their death.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Nearly six hours is a very long time to listen straight through. I wouldn't think anybody would or could do that.

Any additional comments?

Lisa Baarns has narrated the entire Witches of Galdorheim series. She's done a fantastic job maintaining consistency of voice of the same characters throughout. In addition, she takes the personality of the new characters and makes them just as unique as the regular cast.

Down Home Style Adds a Lot to the Stories

If you could sum up Tales of a Texas Boy in three words, what would they be?

Humorous, nostalgic, boyhood.

What did you like best about this story?

No.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Pa's Story about Eddie's father working as a veterinarian in the army during the First World War.

I'm writing this review to comment on the narrative style.

Gripping Story Well Narrated

Revisado: 10-22-14

If you could sum up Old Hickory Lane in three words, what would they be?

Engaging plot, writing.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Old Hickory Lane?

There are many. Every incident of Warren's vet practice leaves you on the edge of your seat. Best spot? Treating the K9 corps at the clinic. Definitely an emergency with a lot at stake.

What about Kirk Winkler’s performance did you like?

The narrative parts are not just read in monotone, but pitched to the circumstances of the scene.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I can't stay awake that long, but the book certainly holds the listener's attention. I'd already read the book, but quite awhile ago. It was nice to hear the story so well narrated.

Any additional comments?

You can't help but wish Warren success, but you also want to slap him upside the head to knock the chip off his shoulder. If he was totally likable, I don't think the story would be near as compelling.
