Unlistenable!!

Revisado: 06-22-24

Could not get into the story due to the extremely poor reading. I did not know that Germans had South London accents. Don’t waste your time or money on this.

Good Story Poor Narration Poor Accuracy

Revisado: 03-21-23

A good story can be ruined by little things. For example, so many mispronunciations: Kibbutz (kibbets). Tefillen (teflin), haftorah -(can't even sound out what was said, and many others. Also, you cannot see the George Washington Bridge from Amsterdam Avenue. New York has a subway not an underground. Finally, nylon was invented in 1940--it is unlikely that there was nylon fishing line in Yugoslavia prior to or during that year; the transistor was invented in 1947 and put into commercial use by ATT in the mid-50's and finally there were no plastic sheets in Yugoslavia in 1940. These are the kinds of things that can be so distracting to a story that it takes you out of the mood the author is trying to set. A mistake here and there is acceptable, but these are blatant errors which it is hard to understand why they were not edited and/or corrected.

Wonderful

A perfect listen. Great story, great characters, great narration. I am not sure how anyone who reads this cannot cheer
for Kya, the Marsh Girl. The author's description and the narrator's presentation took my into the lagoons and forests. One of my absolute favorite books. This will be reread in years to come.

Dated and scientifically incorrect.

Revisado: 06-10-19

First of all I have enjoyed Michael Crichton's work such as Timeline, the Andromeda Strain, Jurassic Park..etc. I picked this book without reading reviews or realizing that Mr. Crichton was a climate change critic (and that this book is so anti climate change). For a man of science he is woefully out of step. Also, the terminology in book "global warming" is an almost unrecognizable term. The book, at the very least should be updated to use the term "climate change." I also recognize that this book is almost 15 years old and hopefully Crichton has move his position. As a piece of "literature" it was all over the place, hard to follow, confusing characters and an inconsistent story. It was hard to follow and too much of an effort to get through. Disappointing, boorish, scientifically out of date and I cannot recommend it.
