Excellent!

Revisado: 04-18-24

firstly, I would like to think Audible for bringing back one of the most beloved forms of entertainment that I enjoyed as I was growing up. Radio theater was one of the ways in which week passed time, enjoy dreaming about new things, and enjoy time with family.
Secondly, the actors chosen were superb and, the way which the story was related, was so clear that it was impossible not to follow it.
I recommended to anybody who is into theater or into drama, or into good stories.

It could’ve been better

Revisado: 01-09-22

I do like the plaid, I do like the majority of the cost, I like the sound quality, and I like the way in which the performance was developed throughout the series.
I did not like the unnecessary swearing, and the prevalence of unforgivable grammatical errors.
Yes, I do recommend it to those who are interested in science fiction; however, beware of unnecessary language and, as I said, very poor grammar.
That is the reason I gave it a fourth.

Skillful writing.

Revisado: 02-15-13

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

Yes, in fact, the author demonstrated her talent as a writer by exposing social, political and media aspects of a town's life in a very intelligent manner.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Skirt Man?

The book as a whole is memorable because of the way in which every personage is portrayed

Which scene was your favorite?

None in particular.

Did The Skirt Man inspire you to do anything?

Other than to look for books of the same quality of writing... not really!

Any additional comments?

I must confess that I bought the book for the title; intriguing as it was, I believed it to be related to the current matters of homosexualism, transvestites or similar subjects. Thus, I was surprised to discover the real premise, which in turn motivated me to read it much sooner than I read most of other books. I'm not fond of historical fiction, but this book has the ingredients that make of it a very pleasant and tasteful way to look at the topics covered by the author.

A book empty of meaning.

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

A real interest in showing the virtues of womanhood.

What was most disappointing about Caitlin Moran’s story?

The lack of a real message, as well as the self-serving aspect of the story.

Would you be willing to try another one of Caitlin Moran’s performances?

Most likely not!

What character would you cut from How to Be a Woman?

All of them.

Any additional comments?

This is a book where frustration, inconformity and the desire of not being whom she is are evident. If her intend was to teach woman the ropes of becoming a woman, she fail in all accounts. However, if this was her way of starting her own therapy to find out the solutions to her own conflicts, then I wish her good luck.

What made the experience of listening to The Language of Flowers the most enjoyable?

The author made of a rather common topic a very enjoyable reading experience.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Language of Flowers?

The reunion of Elizabeth and Victoria after many years of absence from each other's life.

Which scene was your favorite?

Not a particular one.

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

Cry at times, but for the most part, wonder over the possibilities of events such as those described may occur.

Any additional comments?

The book is not a master-piece, but in keeping with today's writing trends, I think this is better than many. I wished the narrator had more dynamic and more interest in better reding, though I could tolerate her, at times< monotone style.

An example of what not to do when writing a book.

Revisado: 02-15-13

What disappointed you about Fourth Grave Beneath My Feet?

Poor writing style and too much gets lost in her lack of humor.

Would you ever listen to anything by Darynda Jones again?

Yes.

Which scene was your favorite?

None!

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Fourth Grave Beneath My Feet?

%80

Any additional comments?

In very plain English she managed to write a very long book that could be half as long. It was evident that she was busier looking for ways to be funny than finding imaginative ways to develop the characters of her plot; a shame, because the prior books, though not so good, at least were entertaining. I hope this is the last of the series.

A very refreshing book!

Very well written.

The incident at the barber-shop.

Which character – as performed by Stephen Briggs – was your favorite?

Dodger

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

"The Fog.

Any additional comments?

This book reflects Terry Pratchett's versatility. In fact, it was a very pleasant surprise to find a book that not only is full of humor, romance and many other elements that make of this a very good work, but also, it gave me great satisfaction to read a book where using the English language was a tool rather than a distraction; indeed, Terry Pratchett has immense respect for a language that now is falling in decadence.

Mediocre at best.

What did you like best about Blood Bound? What did you like least?

I enjoy the creative mind of Vincent's, but have little value for her delivery.

Would you ever listen to anything by Rachel Vincent again?

Yes.

What does Gabra Zackman bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She is an experienced reder who's abilities permit her to work with impossible books such as this. It is she who brought to life some of the dead parts of the book.

What would have made this romance irresistible?

Better delivery and better vocabulary.

Any additional comments?

It amazes and saddens me to find that many female writers find it necessary to abandon their delicate nature in favor of "being progressive". As a woman, I find that the use of foul language belittles the message as well as the effect the writer intends to convey. Are we becoming less intelligent? I hope that is not the case.

Entertaining and interesting.

What made the experience of listening to Capitol Murder the most enjoyable?

Though I'm not into legal matters, I like to hear about the maneuvers and intricacies of this field; these books do just that in a very simple and mysterius way.

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

Not quite, but I found it interesting. It was a clever spin.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Jonathan Davis?

Iam an admirer of his narrating style; however, this was not one of his best. Lethargic would be the way to describe this book's narration.

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

Surprising and different; I thinkkk the story is quite intriguing.

Any additional comments?

The author seems to have another book in mind, but I don't think that should be the ccase. I believe the subject is getting a little thin. On a separate note, what can we do to make the studios understand that the noise at the beginning of the books is nothing but a useless distraction? Not to mention those books where gthey opt to incorporate more noise in between chapters...! Really annoying!

Not Good at all!

Revisado: 01-07-12

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

No, the story is lacking and it was obvious the author had no ideas on how to make the book at least entertaining.

What was most disappointing about Molly Harper’s story?

The language. Written for people with very low English level.

Did Amanda Ronconi do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

She always does a good job; however, she was given very little inspiration to perform at her best.

Could you see The Art of Seducing a Naked Werewolf being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Perhaps; after all, bad books make it into movies.

Any additional comments?

Lynn Barnes is better
than this what book shows, and, considering the quality of her prior work, I think she should do a better job other than to rush into writing
for the sake of filling space.
