Waste of time

I kept waiting for this to get better, but it didn't. I can't recommend this book.

Narration bad

Revisado: 12-08-22

I admit I was not able to get into the book due to the author's reading style. My experience is that authors should not narrate their own books. I have no idea whether the book was good or not, but I know I have enjoyed other books by Kingsolver.

For Miranda fans

Revisado: 04-30-22

I imagine this book will register best with fans of Miranda. (See her TV comedy series, "Miranda"). I find her to be a riot, so loved this book, especially with Miranda reading. She does a clever thing with explaining her 38 year old self to her 18 year old self, and it has its moments. In any case, I don't think this is for everyone, but I certainly enjoyed it.

Margaret Trudeau

Revisado: 03-15-20

I gave her little thought after her divorce from Pierre, but she has truly had an unusual life in some ways, and a very normal one in others. I had no idea of her suffering, and I was glad to hear that she has triumphed over it. A most interesting listen.

Evil Eye

Starts out amusing and keeps your interest. Then it takes a creepy turn and grabs you completely. So exciting and interesting!

11-22-63 A Novel

Revisado: 11-15-14

Would you try another book from Stephen King and/or Craig Wasson?

Yes, some are quite entertaining.

Would you be willing to try another book from Stephen King? Why or why not?

I have read a few S. King books, and enjoyed, so may try again. I have also been quite disappointed by a couple of his books.

Would you be willing to try another one of Craig Wasson’s performances?

No, this is my complaint about this book. When he reads the narration, he is fine. When he goes into accents, he is horrible. I would accept this for just a line or two, but they go on for a couple of chapters, and it becomes intolerable. He seems to be doing imitations of movie stars of yesteryear.

Could you see 11-22-63 being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

This might be a good movie, because much would have to be cut out. A great deal of this book seems like stretching---entirely unnecessary. A movie might solve that problem.

Roots

Revisado: 10-20-11

I am three-quarters of the way through this book, and am having trouble "putting it down." Avery Brooks as the narrator has the effect of making this audiobook better than the paper book and better than the miniseries.
You probably know the story, but at the time it came out, it was unknown what effect this book would have on our world. There is a wonderful introduction that will inform you on the social impact it has had over the years.
I have been listening to audiobooks for many years now, and I have to say this is one of the best listens ever. I can't praise it enough.
