Ok, pero ...

Revisado: 01-31-25

La historia es interesante, pero no te cautiva. Por un lado es una temática que ha sido tan abordada en otros libros, que ya deja de sorprender. Por otro lado, la historia paralela parece caricaturesca dado que TODOS los personajes del libro se enamoran unos de otros, bordea en lo absurdo. Finalmente, la narración no te engancha. La narradora cuenta con casi el mismo tono un evento trágico o triste, que uno cotidiano. En fin, no lo recomiendo. Sirve para pasar el rato, pero si pudiera volver atrás, no lo compraría.

Interesting, but slow and tedious

Revisado: 06-24-20

Ok, I NEVER write reviews, but I felt compelled to write one now, so as to warn future listeners. The information presented in this book is very cool and interesting, BUT it is read in a monotone: slow, emotionless, bland and boring. My mind kept wandering off as I listened, so I was forced to "rewind" the chapters multiple times, which made the book impossible to enjoy. I am a biologist, and was interested in all that was relayed here, but for me it was like having a scientific paper read aloud...awful. I know I would have enjoyed this book more, and probably would remember more of what was presented if a professional actor had read it; someone able to engage the listener, to make you passionate about these incredible organisms.

Simply wonderful

Revisado: 05-02-19

Thank you, thank you, thank you...what a wonderful listen! I loved Stephen Fry's narration and retelling of Greek Myths, it was an extremely entertaining and learning experience. I laughed out loud several times during his interpretation of some myths. I wish I had the time to listen to the whole thing again, as these stories definitely need to be heard more than once to stick. Still, I am sure I'll find time to now and again listen to some of the myths.
