Well done

Revisado: 09-06-24

Learning what happened to Agnes provided closure to Beyond the Tracks. I enjoyed hearing about the resistance but dismayed to hear how little it actually accomplished in the camps. I look forward to the next book in the trilogy. Narration was better but often gave vibes of AI narration.

Enjoyed the story, not the narration

Revisado: 09-04-24

This is a great story about a horrible situation. I was glad to hear at the end that some of the people were actual people. What I did not enjoy was the narration. Why Ethan was given a cockney accent is beyond me. After finishing the book I went back to the beginning to hear about his backstory but there was nothing about him being from anywhere but Berlin. The accent was nowhere close to a German accent and it was very off-putting.

Ugh, the attempted Boston accent

Revisado: 06-08-18

Loved the story but the attempted Boston accent of the judge character was too much. Having been raised just 35 miles south of Boston, it just grates on my last nerve to hear people attempt a Boston accent. I didn't go back to listen to the backstory of the judge to hear if he was really supposed to be from Boston, as this was a courtroom in Los Angeles, I presume he moved to CA from MA but I didn't catch it and it wasn't worth going back to find out, but I've heard enough attempts at the accent to know when one is being attempted. Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed the book.

Fabulous!

Revisado: 03-30-18

I loved this book. The story was great. the narration was wonderful, and I turned it on whenever I had a free moment at home, in the car, at lunch, where ever. The characters were engaging. Jacquetta was very likeable. I can't wait to start The White Queen.

Well written and narrated

Revisado: 03-30-18

I was so impressed with The Lady of the Rivers that I couldn't wait to read this book. I was less impressed but still enjoyed it. I move on to The Red Queen with trepidation.

Tired of the same story

Revisado: 03-30-18

I loved The Lady of the Rivers and couldn't wait to move on to the next book, The White Queen. I liked it less than The Lady of the Rivers but it was still okay. Now, in The Red Queen, it is the same story from a different viewpoint. I'm tired. I want new characters and a new story line. I've decided to move on to Diana Gabaldon and see how that goes. I will miss Bianca Amato's narration. She is fabulous!

Laugh or cry, I couldn’t choose

What an terribly sad but hysterical story, made all the better as it was read by the author. I highly recommend it for everyone but especially Irish Catholics.

No continuous story

Revisado: 02-20-18

I found this to be too fragmented. I realize the main four families were throughout the book but there was not enough continuity to keep me interested. The frequent changing of names was also difficult to follow in audio format. It was okay but after having just finished two of Ken Follett’s trilogy series, this paled in comparison.

Not as gripping ...

Revisado: 01-11-18

I enjoyed the other two Kingsbridge novels more, though this was certainly a good book as well. It took me several attempts of the first few chapters to get into it but, in all fairness, I read the first 100 pages of Fall of Giants at least 5 times before I was hooked. Both trilogy series were well worth my time and I’m now a huge fan of Ken Follett.

Another fabulous story!

Revisado: 01-05-18

As with the Century Trilogy and The Pillars of the Earth, I found this book to be incredible. John Lee does a wonderful job as the narrator and the story and characters kept me enthralled through every chapter. There were certainly similarities in the story lines - boy meets girl, they fall in love, the church keeps them apart, etc. but I still found the characters and circumstances to be different enough to keep me interested. I highly recommend this book.
