Need pen, paper, guide to English peerage.

Revisado: 09-19-20

This is an interesting textbook. I listen to audio books “on the go” and the complicated political, social, and historical intertwinings are impossible to keep straight unless you have an extensive background in English history. The book is well written and narrated but definitely requires concentration. Irritated I could not return it.

Best articulated, researched, interesting books I have listen to in a long time. Informative and entertaining. Wish she would do more and she needs to read her own books.

Unlike Ann...

Revisado: 01-25-19

Unlike Ann Coulter this woman should NOT read her own books. Content is mildly interesting voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard. It works on television but not for an audiobook.

ONLY ANN

Revisado: 01-25-19

Got through it very small portion of this book, though I know what the content is from other sources. Ann Coulter should read her own books. She is a lively and vibrant author and the woman who reads this particular book could put an insomniac to sleep.

Incredible.

Revisado: 03-02-18

Meticulously researched, extraordinarily well written. I would not call this work unbiased but Ms. Fraser’s personal views do not interfere with her presentation of the facts. If you are honestly interested in the truth behind the Little House books, this is a must read. It is long, complex and perhaps disillusioning to fans of the Little House books but Fraser brings to light a much deeper and inspiring Laura Wilder than most people have met yet.

How Shirley Temple changed consumerism....among other things.

Narrator never heard of Louisa May Alcott

Revisado: 04-11-16

What disappointed you about An Old-Fashioned Girl?

What in the world possessed a narrator to give the characters in this book hillbilly accents!!??? Obviously she knew NOTHING about Louisa May Alcott, the story's setting, and the New England values of the time. I cannot believe that this got by whoever matches narrators to books. Hand her a copy of Gone With the Wind....obviously more her style. Her diction is good, had she simply read the book it would probably be a 5 star but her corny, totally inappropriate " voices" ruin the entire book for anyone who knows and appreciates Louisa May Alcott. I returned the title. Wish someone with more sense would create another edition.

What did you like best about this story?

The story line.

How could the performance have been better?

NO "voices"! Just read the book!!!!! Save the playacting for the stage...preferably a Southern one.

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

Anger, frustration, disappointment, total disbelief that an otherwise good narrator would be so far off base! The book is based in New England, for pete sake, not the hills of West Virginia!!!!

Any additional comments?

PLEASE get another reader ( not Flo Gibson). Most of the narrators of the Georgette Heyer romances are excellent...ditto tenfold the narrator of the James Herriot books.

Awful

Revisado: 06-30-14

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

"All about me" (author) using a dog as bait. Boring. Who cares.....

Has A Big Little Life turned you off from other books in this genre?

It certainly didn't help any.

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

Irritation.

Any additional comments?

Waste of time and money on everybody's part.

WOW! What a fascinating story!

Revisado: 12-17-13

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

YES! And I have, to anyone who will listen. This is a fascinating story of a man very few people know much about beyond his wealth. Chernow is both an excellent writer and a master of research. This is a long listen but it never bogs down. You will walk away having completely revised your understanding of Rockafeller. You may not like him any better but you will know him better.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Titan?

When I realized the origin of Spellman College in Atlanta, GA.

What about Grover Gardner’s performance did you like?

Everything, he is one of my favorite narrators. Knows when to emphasize and when to hold back, easy on the ears, good diction, pleasant tone.

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

The end. I was sorry it was over.
