Great story and very Good narrator

The adventure of a big year is always exciting to read about. Lynn Barber was a trailblazer when it came to women doing Big Years

Very Informative

Revisado: 01-11-22

The book is interesting and gave me great arguments to use against my theist friends

One odd thing with the editing of the narration. There are many times in the second half where the editors kept in flubs and repeated sentences

Great book; flawed narration

Revisado: 11-18-21

I’ve always enjoyed books on the history of computers and this one focuses more in depth on the creators of the first real computer. The only flaw is the narrator and production. For some reason the narrators voice trails off into near silence at the end of sentences and paragraphs, requiring me to rewind often.

Story had me hooked but disappointing resolution

Revisado: 04-27-20

Firstly, it was sad to hear of the passing of René Auberjonois. He truly was the voice of Pendergast. But the producers of the new books could not have chosen a better successor. I never felt that I was not hearing the voice of Pendergast during the production. The same can’t be said of Scott Brick taking over the Jack Reacher series.

As far as this book goes, I loved the story and progression of the plot. I was hooked until the final act when Pendergast was but a bit player in the climax of the story. In past books he found his way out of every dilemma and here he just, literally, sits there.

However it ended, it is still a lovely listen and a well told story.

This is the best of everything he has written over the years

Listen to this first and then read all his books from the beginning.

A truly inspired bit of lunacy!

Revisado: 04-08-06

This was my first experience with a Christopher Moore Novel and I can't wait to listen to the next one! Part of the enjoyment was the giddiness with which Fisher Stevens read the book. He was having as good a time narrating as I was listening. The previous reviewer must not have been a Beta male. Alpha males are so full of themselves they'd not recognize brilliant humor if they were hit in the back of the brain stem with it! For us Beta males, understanding that we are flawed and forever trying to come to grips with our failings, only helps us to appreciate the humor with which Moore spins his tale!

I was actually disappointed when I was on the last CD to know it was coming to an end soon. I'll miss Ray and Lilly and Charlie and Sophie, now that they won't be part of my daily drives. They're all such great characters and Fisher Stevens brought live to all of them. Especially the "sewer harpies." His voices for those underworld misfits really captured the essence of who and what they are: "Guns suck, I can tell you that!"

So, if you're a Beta male or a woman who just feels pity for Beta males and goes out with them, only to find they are such terrific guys after all, then this book is for you.

It was one of the best audio books I've ever listened to!

I only hope that Tony Roberts narrates The Stupidest Angel with such a flair for the characters and the brilliant comic talents of Christopher Moore.
