Fills my heart with such warmth

Revisado: 02-09-17

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would if they were lighthearted.

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

It made me laugh and cry. I almost couldn't finish it because I was so sad to have it end.

Any additional comments?

The narration was wonderful.

Narration is awful at first but gets better

Revisado: 07-28-16

I almost returned the book because of the quality of narration at the beginning. Not just the author, but the fact that you could hear ever breath and whatnot. It does get a bit better as it goes on.

Worst French accent I've heard.

Revisado: 03-02-16

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

Story seems great, all of the voices and accents are great but Poirot is impossible to listen to. I've taken 7 years of French, 2 years by a French person and yet many times I had no idea what word Poirot was saying. So overdone, I can hardly continue listening.

What didn’t you like about David Thorn’s performance?

Only the French accent. Everything else was great.

Anne Hathaway makes this unlistenable.

What would have made The Wonderful Wizard of Oz better?

Anyone else reading it.

What did you like best about this story?

It's a classic movie, and it's nice hearing what it's based off of.

What didn’t you like about Anne Hathaway’s performance?

Listen, I like Anne Hathaway. But not only were her voices *terrible* (and believe me, they were terrible. A southern accent for some character, a valley girl for a few characters, a daffy duck sounding guard, just awful, obnoxious voices.) but she read the entire thing like she was reading it for the first time. Many times she'd read a sentence and it wouldn't make sense because she'd have the incorrect inflection, or put emphasis on the wrong word. She's a great actress, my only explanation is that they only let her do one take. I mean, it doesn't make sense that she could be this awful.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

I was angry at how distracting her performance was. Regularly I would find myself marveling at how bad she'd said something, or some new character would be introduced and I'd be shocked no one told her she couldn't use a voice she was using. The book is impossible to enjoy.

Any additional comments?

For the love of God, do not listen to this version of this book. I honestly wonder how long it will be before I can watch The Wizard of Oz without cringing the entire time because the dark shadow this version has cast over it.
