Not Just the Book

Revisado: 02-27-23

The book was very entertaining. Great characters. But there is also the reader. It is very hard to believe that the whole range of distinctive voices is from just one person.

Just couldn’t get into it

Revisado: 06-08-22

I just couldn’t get a sense of this story. I am not certain if the reason is because of the writing style or because I am not understanding why the author is telling this story in this manner. It just didn’t capture my attention and imagination.

A super fun read!

Revisado: 12-29-21

The twists and turns of the plot will keep you guessing up to the final wrap up. But narrator, Barbara Rosenblatt, is, by far, one of the best readers in the business. Her pacing and character voices are perfect for each character and makes the reading very understandable. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants an entertaining read.

Difficult to listen to.

Revisado: 11-08-21

I had difficulty in listening to this narrator but I was not sure if it was the recording or my ears. I usually like Ian Rankin’s books, so I tried different reading rates and speakers/earbuds but I just couldn’t understand much of the story and finally gave up before finishing it.

Riveting twists and turns

Revisado: 11-30-20

Mentally damaged, seemingly unconnected, women are interwoven in this highly charged plot. The women who have been damaged by their lives' experiences are unable or unwilling to help themselves as they run toward their fates. The characters personalities have been well developed so that the reader can understand the motives and fatal flaws. Readers will have a difficult time in putting this book down.

Read these in order

Revisado: 05-01-19

The DC Smith series is one of the best British mystery series. The books are not just plot; there are interesting believable characters and thought-provoking themes. The audio version is read by a man who would be a strong candidate if there were an award for besr reader.

But be sure to read the series in order. Plot threads carry over into subsequent books.

Intrigue and Politics

Revisado: 07-07-16

A riveting tale of intrgue and political maneuvering, this novel tells a fictional story of a real Egyptian princess who becomes wife of Pharoah Ramses. Many aspects are supported by facts in archaeological records and is referred to by the author at the end of the audio book. Enjoy going back into time to what may have been.

A sudden fearful ending...

Revisado: 04-16-16

Excellent narration. Good development of some of the characters but clumsy or lacking development in orhers. The story concept is good with enough morality but without being preachy. Biggest problem is the abrupt ending; the conclusion is satisfying but the reader is left wondering, not about the "after" which can be filled in by imagination, but just the abrupt ending. I had to re-read the ending several times.
