Delicate and heartbreaking

Revisado: 04-29-23

I want to read more by this author. The understated narration was the perfect way to tell the story. You could hear the little boy’s hesitation and confusion as he tries to piece together why he and his mother are different from other people he knows.

Very enjoyable short story

Revisado: 04-07-23

I especially enjoyed the ending. Ed Harris, with his gravelly voice, is the perfect narrator for this story. He brings out the author’s understated humor.

Touching story

Revisado: 03-18-23

I have to rewatch the movie now. I only wish they hadn’t turned the Japanese photographer into a racist joke but I’ll fast forward through those scenes to see how the film compares to the original story by Truman Capote.

Such an enjoyable series

Revisado: 03-15-23

I wish books 10-15 were bundled in sets of three like the first nine. I want to continue following the story so I’ll be buying extra audible credits to continue bingeing on the series.

Surprisingly deep

Revisado: 03-09-23

This isn’t just a collection of cozy mysteries, it also explores how people heal from grief. I listened to it twice — once having fun with the mysteries and the second time focusing on the characters and their journeys.

Intense and disturbing

Revisado: 01-27-23

Well written and well acted. I’m not used to this level of violence so I had to take breaks between chapters. I’m glad I listened to The Method but i think I’ll go back to my usual cozy mysteries.

If only Alan Rickman could have narrated

Revisado: 10-23-22

It took me awhile to appreciate Mr Rickman’s sparse, name-dropping diary entries but when I finished, I listened again from beginning to end and got much more out of his life story. A complex person who lived a full life - arrogant and vulnerable, demanding and generous, as hardworking as he was talented, and obviously loved by many friends. You can hear Rickman’s own deep, hypnotic voice with its unpredictable phrasing for a few minutes at the end of the audiobook. You might want to listen to it first.

My favorite narration of my favorite novel

Revisado: 10-07-22

David Horovitch brings the story to life as I’ve never heard it before. I first read Ana Karenina in my twenties. Now, at age 67, I have read this book three times and listened to three audio versions. I can’t imagine a better narration. Bravo.

Beautifully understated

This is a touching story of an ordinary life. I think it will stay with me for a long time. Perfect narration.

A good case for agnosticism

Revisado: 09-25-22

This book provides no convincing evidence that God the creator exists or ever did exist. The writer’s arguments basically come down to you either have faith or you don’t. I was hoping to be logically convinced there is a God. Instead this book helped me understand that there is no rational case for a creator, at least not in the terms this author used. By the time I finished listening, I felt comfortable in my doubts about god and free from trying to make sense of religion. This result is almost certainly not what the author intended, nor what most readers will be looking for. No doubt the author is sincere in his beliefs, and the writing style is fine, but his rationale is not logical or convincing. I have no ill feelings about the author or anyone who has faith in religion, I simply don’t agree and this book helped me feel better about that. The narration was fine, not bad but not outstanding, so I am giving that aspect of the audio book a middle rating.
