Incoherent

Revisado: 01-02-24

Good performance of the equivalent of a 50's b-movie. Character reactions and behavior not believable or rational to situations that are over the top crazy. Descriptions of gore quite indulgent. Not a very good book.

Tedious

Revisado: 08-11-22

I found myself fast forwarding large sections, skipping to the next chapter hoping something would happen. Life's too short for tedious books.

Wrong narrator

Revisado: 09-29-21

Given the wholly British perspective of this book, it's odd that an American narrator would be chosen, and one whose voice just doesn't give the content it's requisite gravitas.

One of the best

Revisado: 03-31-21

Despite the title, Patton doesn't overshadow the narrative of this wonderfully researched book. It details many of the smaller units involved in the fighting, weaving personal accounts on both sides into the potentially confusing technical narrative. It flows very nicely and never lags.

Knocks me out every time

Revisado: 06-30-20

I’ve never had anything so consistently put me to sleep in no time flat. It’s so helpful. I listen every night. Thank you Audible and thank you Bram.

Umm

Revisado: 06-08-16

One of the harder Ledger books to follow in my opinion. Full of surrealism and fragmentation, the plot wanders at times. But hey, it's Joe Porter reading A Ledger book so I'm there.

Well...

Revisado: 01-18-16

The narration portraying a strong Puritan woman is halting and breathy - frustratingly portraying her as weak. The overall performance was fair.

The story was fine as well - taking a good while to actually engage me, but keeping me interested after it finally did.

After listening to The Midwife's Revolt by Jodi Daynard, which I found was excellent - well researched and beautifully read - this was a little less than enthralling, however it was good enough.

If you can find it on sale give it a try. But not sure if I'd spend a credit on it.

Beautiful little book

Revisado: 12-18-15

I'm listening to the end of Yellow Crocus. What a sweet, sweet book. Predictable at times but so sweet and tender.

Especially the narrator that reads it. I think Bahni's narration literally makes the book. The characters just come alive. She does such a beautiful job.

And it brings back tender feelings for my Auntie Gladys who watched over me as a little one.

So much better than the first!

Revisado: 07-15-15

Kirby Heyborne brought this book to life and gave it the dignity it deserves! After the dreadful narration of the first book I almost couldn't bear to listen to another go, but hoping it might be the narrator that was the problem and took a chance on the second. The difference was night and day. And, frankly, the book was much better written and, the characters better developed. Anyone that I was around while I listened to it fell into the story immediately and didn't want to stop listening. Just so enjoyable. Can't wait for the next.

Lots of swears

Revisado: 10-16-12

Would you try another book from Gillian Flynn and/or Julia Whelan and Kirby Heyborne ?

Maybe - I liked the reading of this book - it just had so many f-words that I had to stop listening to it.
