A Doxy of a Read!
Revisado: 03-29-13
Would you listen to Death of a Doxy again? Why?
Yes, I love hearing the Characters come to life. It is so interesting with the frequently called on Specialty Operatives on the Front line. Orrie Cather, is truely brought to life. We get to know Him intimately, ways we never considered.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Why Nero Wolfe and Archie and the Orchids and the Food. Orrie Cather is the best character in this book. He is in a world of Hurt, yet, you learn about him from the other characters, because Inspector Cramer, Pinches Orrie as the killer.
Which scene was your favorite?
When Julie Jaquetter dances in to Wolfe's office and then Wolfe stands as she leaves. Unbelievable.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It made me listen. I brought words one no longer hears in the English language back to life. It gives back the value of study and memorization or true learning so that your mind brings the information back to you fresh and alive. The name Thales.
Any additional comments?
I love the way all the characters have such wonderful purpose to bring the story to life. It would be grand to see Nero Wolfe produced on stage. Like one a month in order of publication.

Nicholas Flamel is the greatest Alchemyst to ever live. The records show that he died in 1418, but what if he's actually been making the elixir of life for centuries? The secrets to eternal life are hidden within the book he protects - the Book of Abraham the Mage. It's the most powerful book that has ever existed, and in the wrong hands, it will destroy the world. And that's exactly what Dr. John Dee plans to do when he steals it. There is one hope. If the prophecy is true, Sophie and Josh Newman have the power to save everyone. Now they just have to learn to use it.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I recommend this book if you like a story that takes time in finding its way around the Story Line. If you like puzzles you will be spell bound.
Who was your favorite character and why?
It was Elizabeth. No, I have none of the Tats or piercings except for earrings. I feel Her vulnerability. Even, the isolation She needs to survive and accept the world around Her.
Have you listened to any of Simon Vance’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This is the first time I have listened to Simon Vance, Unless He does Nero Wolfe- Rex Stout, John Grisham, Tony Hillerman, James Lee Burke, etc.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Yes, the flowers, I yearned for more. I wanted to know How Harriet, in such a family, came to find a way to learn the pressing of flowers. The pressing of flowers, is so much a part of the rape of Elizabeth by Her Controller.
Any additional comments?
Over all there are parts I would have added to, However, this book is great to listen too and to read. I recommend it be purchased in the way most dear to each reader.
