Would you listen to Instructions for American Servicemen in Britain, 1942 again? Why?

Absolutely. I have already listened to it twice more. I love old things and from an outsider's perspective it is quite amusing. Mind you, it is STILL quite useful.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The Tommy, of course.

Which scene was your favorite?

The =overview at the end

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

No I didn't, but it did make me giggle, not something the authors would have intended.

Well worth a listen

Poetic

Where does Steppenwolf rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Pretty high.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The main character is the only one really explored in great depth

What does Peter Weller bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Listening to this book is a completely different experience to reading it yourself. I would consider it important to do both. Peter Weller's delivery is compelling and compassionate. He made every sentance sound like poetry.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Many, especially in the last scenes.

Any additional comments?

I will be listening to this again. Once cannot be enough as there is just so much to be had from it.

Not bad at all

Revisado: 02-02-12

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Yes I would. It is not the sort of thing I would usually listen to. But it is good and it does one good to listen to all kinds of short stories now and again.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

By halfway you have worked out how it will end, but I had to keep going cos I was curious to see how it would be handled. It was interesting.

Which scene was your favorite?

The last

Could you see The Gentle Brush of Wings: A Free Short Story from Defining Moments being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Oh dear, I'm no good at casting calls.

Mila Jovavich? Steve Buscemi?

Any additional comments?

Really good quality for a freebie!

What made the experience of listening to Wolf and Jackal and the Barrel of Butter the most enjoyable?

Hugh Jackman did a great job on the reading. Sound effects and all :)

Would you be willing to try another book from Nelson Mandela (editor)? Why or why not?

Which scene was your favorite?

The main one

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

I knew Alan Rickman would make a good reader.

If you could sum up The Ring of the King in three words, what would they be?

I love the idea of becoming aquainted with African folk tales, but I wasn't sure I'd love a whole book's worth, so I am glad I could pick up the stories individually (IF you are certain you will love them then you should buy the book as a whole and save money). This was one of the first tales I bought because I was confident that Alan Rickman would make a great narrator. Boy was I right!! Well, it is a no brainer really.

What did you like best about this story?

It has a nice moral twist

Which scene was your favorite?

The reveal

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, and I did. Many times.

Any additional comments?

I would now probably listen to just about anything read by Rickman.

Where does The Restaurant at the End of the Universe rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

If I couldn't have this read by Stephen Fry, then Martin Freeman is the only other person who could do it justice. I have loved this book almost as much as the first in the series. Can't wait to get my hands on the next installment.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Zaphod becomes much more intreresting this time around.

Which character – as performed by Martin Freeman – was your favorite?

The bathing captain :)

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, and I could manage it one day.
