Boring

Revisado: 10-06-21

The book was boring and I didn't finish it. The characters were blah. The story line was meh. The Cherringham series is way better.

A Different Cozy

Revisado: 09-06-21

I loved this book! It's a different take on a cozy novel. What's different is that you don't know who the amateur detective is until the end! The reader was superb and the tale intriguing. It wasn't just another same old, same old, cozy, and the characters not the same ones I'd grown used to. Did I say, I loved this book?

Not his best

Revisado: 01-28-19

The book seems rushed to me. The chants are at machine gun speed—sometimes so fast that you can't chant along with him.There is very little information about planetary rulerships which would help you decide which mantra to use.I'd recommend purchasing a different book by him.

A Great Adventure

Revisado: 09-23-18

I first read Enid Blyton 60 years ago. I still love to read (and listen) to her. She is able to write for and about children without talking down to them. These kids are real and likable. Do yourself a favor and listen! Give your children a gift and let them meet this wonderful writer!

Fascinating and Engaging

Revisado: 06-04-16

Would you listen to 400 Things Cops Know: Street-Smart Lessons From a Veteran Patrolman again? Why?

I'm listening to it the second time, back to back. It is so interesting and absorbing! A really fascinating book!

What other book might you compare 400 Things Cops Know: Street-Smart Lessons From a Veteran Patrolman to and why?

It's a unique book. I don't know another one like it.

What about Mark Boyett’s performance did you like?

Mark Boyett reads the material intelligently. Well done!

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

There were several sections that fascinated me—especially those on shootings, chases, domestic disputes and drug busts.

Any additional comments?

I've already recommended this to several people. If you like to listen to police procedure novels, try this out. I feel sure you would love it!

A Good Historical Mystery

Revisado: 02-14-15

This mystery is placed in the Tutor period. There are good stong characters that are very likable. There are also scoundrels. The attitudes of the period toward women are had to listen to or read, but the story is believable and the book is very intreguing.

Nothing like it!

Revisado: 01-10-15

I never knew what the brave men and women of Britain went through during the war. This was an aspect of history that was totally unknown to me. I am so inspired by these stories and these people. I especially loved hearing the voices of those who experienced the war, and not just a narrative. Wonderful!

A Masterful Mystery and a Masterful Performance

Revisado: 07-01-14

Would you consider the audio edition of The Unfinished Clue to be better than the print version?

The performance showed the characters off to best advantage.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Lola, the Mexican dancer was a hoot! Quirky characters abounded.

Any additional comments?

The audible version made the book come alive for me and I would certainly recommend it. The reader was absolutely superb and a reader that I want to seek out in the future. Ms. Heyer was a master author and I hope many more of her mysteries become available. I might even be tempted to listen to one of her romances just to enjoy more of her work.

Awful, awful, awful

Revisado: 11-16-13

Would you try another book from Fellowship for the Performing Arts and/or Max McLean?

No

What didn’t you like about Max McLean’s performance?

The overly dramatic music playing constantly in the background ruined the listening experience for me. I never was able to listen to it with any pleasure.

Any additional comments?

I also didn't like that each book of the Bible ended up being a separate download. It really clutters up my library.

Not so hot

Revisado: 06-12-13

What disappointed you about The Ranger?

I didn't like Jeff Woodman as a reader. His southern accents were over the top. I also didn't like the characters.

Would you be willing to try another one of Jeff Woodman’s performances?

Nope.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Dislike and indifference.

Any additional comments?

I just wasn't interested in the story and never finished it.
