This is a very charming, sweet, heartfelt, slightly spooky story! I adore Gaiman and this is very indicative of his style.

pretty fun but nothing mind-blowing

Revisado: 05-02-19

There's a strong romantic sub-plot which I don't care for in my mysteries but that's personal taste. The mystery itself was an enjoyable ride, if a little easy to figure out. the main character seems a bit dense at times and then at other times is a regular Sherlock so that's a bit inconsistent. I enjoyed the narrator's skill with accents and effective inflection in her voice acting.

fun to hear the "real story"

Revisado: 06-10-18

It was certainly different from the classic movie and pretty good but despite liking A. Hathaway in other things she was not very good at this except the narration and a couple of the many voices. she even mixed up some voices a couple of times. Her part was meh.

great retelling of old myth: spoiler free review

Revisado: 06-03-18

I grew up on The Chronicles of Narnia and so already knew I would come in loving the author. I only give the story 4 stars because I can see what CSL was going for in the feminism category and may have been revelatory in his time but are relatively outdated now. I may have my judgment skewed because this was recommended to me as a feminist text and it fell a little short of the mark on that. perhaps if one was not looking for that it would have been. I did find the main character to be somewhat unlikable but not wholly without Merit. I rated the performance only four stars because the reader seem to only have about four voices that she could really do and the rest were basically the same voice is over. All that being said, I enjoyed the book and it is a good use of your leisure time

it was good, just very short. I thought there were a few stories but it is just Camel's.

so enjoyable!

Quirky and side-ways humor make this adventure of a 100-year-old man through history a delight! I laughed out loud so many times. I love the main character's habit of positive thinking and his steadfast aversion to strong political opinions. His MO for getting out of trouble seems to be simply deciding to move on to the next thing. Alan's casual indifference and sunniness lead him into the most improbable of situations. I loved this!

hmm.

Revisado: 02-04-18

it seems like this could have been good at some point of further development. I don't know... the characters were off. The villain was too flatly evil with no real depth or reason or believability. The female lead was weirdly bipolar. I think it was meant to be a "round character" but it came accoss as the same character with 2 personalities that swapped back and forth. The lead male seemed like a totally irredeemable jerk and then suddenly one big tragedy happens and he just turns around literally overnight. Trigger warnings!!! Sexual assault, attempted rape, child prostitution. Spoilers ahead: at the end several animals are killed for no reason at all. I understand when characters or animals have to die to further plot, make a point, complete an arc, etc. but these just seem like they were there to make the readers sad. I get North's death because it symbolized the death of the untamed natural New York area but beyond that they were unnecessary and frustrating. The narrators did a fairly good job, although sometimes the multiple characters had suspiciously similar voices. The production quality is why this doesn't have a lower rating.

fantastical, magical

Revisado: 01-08-18

I loved the all- encompassing magical feeling of this book. It somehow simultaneously feels like a children's fantasy, a dark fantasy, and an ancient myth. Gaiman, of course, was fantastic in his narration.
