Interesting, sometimes dry, with many distracting mispronounced words

Revisado: 09-27-15

This is both the story of one Hmong family's interactions with the medical community and the larger story of he Hmong people in America. The author keeps it interesting by switching back and forth between the larger picture and the focused view.
The reader has a nice voice with no accent and seems to know how to pronounce the Hmong words ( although I wouldn't know) but has many mispronounced words that are very distracting and occasionally confusing.

Good story, disappointing performance

Revisado: 01-04-15

Would you try another book from Alice Hoffman and/or the narrators?

The story was compelling - a romance with a lot of historical accuracy about New York City in the early 1900s. The female narrators were both quite poor - one lowered her voice at the end of each sentence, so much so that I suspect anyone with some hearing loss would miss quite a bit. The other female narrator made all the voices she did sound like automatons. Bizarre.

Would you be willing to try another one of the narrators’s performances?

Perhaps the male. Not the females.

Was The Museum of Extraordinary Things worth the listening time?

Definitely. The story was engaging and interesting enough to keep me wanting to hear more, even with flawed narration.

not my favorite

Revisado: 02-13-14

What did you like best about The Love Affairs of Nathaniel P.? What did you like least?

The reader detracted from the story, although I have to say I didn't much care for the novel either. The reader mis pronounced the names of familiar NYC and Brooklyn landmarks and had an unrecognizable accent for the Israeli character. The story was trying to be a contemporary book of manners, after Jane Austen etc, but in effect was tedious and annoying.

Would you recommend The Love Affairs of Nathaniel P. to your friends? Why or why not?

not really, see above. Plus, I think the book was what a woman thinks a man thinks like. Not what a man really thinks like.

Would you be willing to try another one of Nick Podehl’s performances?

not really.

Did The Love Affairs of Nathaniel P. inspire you to do anything?
