Nails on a chalkboard
Revisado: 03-01-25
The story is great but I've had to take really long breaks due to the terrible audio quality. The narrators' voices are absolutely grating on the ears and would give me terrible tinnitus and headaches. The female narrator is better than the male. It sounds like they just pulled all the bass out of the recording. I've tried to listen on several different audio systems and with several pair of headphones and nothing has made it better.

The Goldfinch is a haunted odyssey through present-day America and a drama of enthralling force and acuity. It begins with a boy. Theo Decker, a 13-year-old New Yorker, miraculously survives an accident that kills his mother. Abandoned by his father, Theo is taken in by the family of a wealthy friend. Bewildered by his strange new home on Park Avenue, disturbed by schoolmates who don't know how to talk to him, and tormented above all by his unbearable longing for his mother, he clings to one thing that reminds him of her: a small, mysteriously captivating painting that ultimately draws Theo into the underworld of art.

Theo is boring and dense
Revisado: 06-27-23
I feel like this book was so long and drawn out for absolutely no reason. Any parts that should have been a twist or a surprise were diluted by the fact that it took so long to reveal due to excessively drawn out dialogue or Theo's frustrating inability to understand anything. The dialog between characters is slightly less terrible than Theo's introspective thoughts but is still incredibly painful. Maybe it's due to his head injury or his drug use but Theo is incapable of putting 2 and 2 together, he needs everything spelled out for him or shoved in his face. it's even more painfully obvious when juxtaposed with Boris' wittiness.
The Dark History is a much better book, though it suffers from the inability to really get it's point across as it gets tangled up in shoddy character interactions and dialog.
Also this book came up under Dark Academia and it wasn't in the least.

This enchanting escapade is the most important quest of Tarl Cabot's career. He must retrieve a potent shield ring from a strange explorer. It is imperative that the omnipotent Priest Kings obtain this ring so that the Goreans do not challenge their enormous power. Throughout his expedition, Cabot learns of uncharted territories on Earth's cosmic counterpart. In the dense forests he discovers, Cabot must use his skills to endure the perils that await his arrival. Cabot will encounter Gor's barbarism in full force through enchantingly dangerous beasts, bloodthirsty men, and exotic kingdoms.

extremely subpar
Revisado: 01-09-21
this book was an absolute struggle to finish. the book detailed all the subjugated slave banter in the other books but in this one it took up so much more of the book. This is one of the longer books of the 13 and had at least twice as much repetition with "But I am an EARTH girl!" struggle and the detailings of the inner workings of the slave girl mind.
The performance is fine but I just cant take the weird Hungarian accent he gives the American girls " Ihhh aum ov Uuuurth". Though no girl was really worse than Elizabeth Cardwell's voice.
This is the book thats making me take a haitus for a long time. It's an absolute waste of a story that would have otherwise been good an interesting if not for the obsessiveness about the slave girls.
