Needed a different narrator

Revisado: 07-27-15

What did you love best about That Summer in Sicily?

The love story and the setting.

How could the performance have been better?

The author should have used a different narrator. It was extremely difficult to hear this narrator because she whispered the whole book, so Ss were pronounced and then she would trail off at end of sentences so even at full volume, you couldn't always hear what she was saying. The whispering was so annoying at times that I could only listen to 20 minutes and then I would turn it off, which made it hard to get into the story and the characters. I am sorry to say that the author ruined her own book by being the narrator.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

The only reaction that I had was that I found myself yelling at the narrator to speak up and speak clearly and not whisper everything. The sad part was I wanted to know what happened to the characters, but lost interest because I kept having to start and stop it.

Pope Joan

Could this really be true? Really made you wonder if back in the day this could have happened. Found the information in this book fascinating and it really gave you a glimpse into a whole other world for women. I would like to believe there were women in the day that were strong enough to do what was necessary for them in a man's world. I found the author's notes at the end very interesting. Great listen and found it hard to put down!

Firefly Lane

Revisado: 06-23-11

Although this book brought you through so many emotions, I truly enjoyed listening to it. Friendships are hard, not always perfect, and you really understand the connection between the two girls, even though they were so different. Gave insight into why young people act out, perhaps as a defensive mechanism to protect themselves, but how family and love and support can change all that in one's life. Very good listen -- especially if you've had a special relationship with someone in your life from childhood!

A Dog's Purpose

Revisado: 06-23-11

I truly enjoyed this book. Not sure how it would have been to read it, but the narrator really gave life to the dog as he went through his lives of reincarnation. I saw so many characteristics of dogs I have known in my life in this book. Really gave a cute perspective from the animal's side. I felt this book brought in so many emotions especially if you are a dog lover. Good listen!

Must

Revisado: 11-10-06

I truly enjoyed this book. Each character had a different narrator, which made them real, and you definitely become connected to them. The book makes you see all sides of a very difficult situation. I found the book to be very moving and thought-provoking long after it was over. Definitely a must "listen".
