Purple Rose

Amazing, of course!

I absolutely adore this man. I can’t say enough about him. In some ways I wish he were my grandfather. Anyway, about the book 😜. Many of the stories are from the show, but that didn’t bother me and a little from the first book. He had a healthy smattering of his trademark wit and wisdom, a bit more illumination of his inner workings. No shortage of his honesty and humanity. An amazing human being. Highly recommend!!!

Just amazing

Revisado: 02-26-21

Keeps getting better. Just when I think Jonathan Maberry can’t get any better I read/listen to these short stories. Funny, insightful, culturally significant and relevant...the depth and breadth of Jonathan Maberry is astounding! Listen to The Ghost Road Blues Trilogy...hell, listen to any of his stuff...I’m gobsmacked!

Another great Backman book...

Revisado: 09-10-19

This was a wonderful book...not as good as A Man Called Ove, but only because the story was a bit slower, not the actual quality of the story. I also listened/read out of order (It should be Ove, My Grandmother, and then Britt-Marie, but I listened to Britt-Marie before My Grandmother). The book (all of them) are heart warming, heart breaking, and precious. Backman knows how to tug at your heart strings and write a really meaningful, memorable book. I am truly glad to own these books because I will definitely listen to them more than once. The revelations throughout the books will make you laugh and cry, and you’ll not easy or willingly forget the characters. Can’t recommend enough, just stick with it.

Great book full of interesting facts...

Revisado: 06-25-19

I absolutely love these types of books. A sneak peek into a world that I will likely never be a part of, that I deeply respect, and from the direct source. Listened to it all in one day and will likely listen to it again. Check out The Homicide Hunter, written and read by Lt. Joe Kenda, also an incredible book. Highly recommend!!

Great police procedural!

Revisado: 06-20-19

Loved the performance, loved the storyline. I really empathized with and enjoyed all of the main characters and will definitely be reading the other books. I have listened to other novels narrated by Richard Armitage and he is fabulous! I was able to figure out the identity of the killer, but it was still suspenseful. Highly recommend!

Magical and thought provoking...

Revisado: 06-11-19

Loved it! A dystopian, steam punk, alternate history, fantasy. The best of all worlds. Good premise with interesting characters and a good amount of action with character and world building. Will definitely be getting the sequel! Highly recommend!

Decent story, good acting...

Revisado: 06-08-19

Loved hearing the original Bishop and Hicks...some of the accents were a little annoying, and in places I think the actors weren’t as expressive as they should have been in the given circumstances, but the main premise was interesting and terrifying. I didn’t read the synopsis close enough and was expecting an audio version of the third movie, but that was not the case. In fact, I’m not sure where this story fitS into the Alien continuity, but it was worth the listen.

Absolutely stunning...

Revisado: 05-09-19

I can’t say enough about this without it sounding like a review on the back of a book...it really was riveting, captivating, enthralling. The acting was breathtaking and so gripping...I found myself in tears with empathy and fear. I honestly almost forgot myself, I was so absorbed. Amazing writing, amazing acting...would give 10 stars if possible. Highly recommend!!

Excellent book, decent narration...

Revisado: 05-08-19

I’m not a geneticist, so I can’t speak for the validity of the science, but I am a therapist and can that the emotions and actions of the characters ring true and clearly. Good solid book, not life altering, but interesting and informative. The narrator did a good job overall, just not so great at male voices. Recommend!

Excellent book, excellent narration...

Revisado: 05-07-19

The narrator was beyond perfect for this genre of book...gruff and expressive, wise and hardened, yet tender at times. He did an amazing job of female voices (you honestly thought a female narrator was speaking) and conveyed every emotion wonderfully. The book itself was fun take on western fantasy without going too far into the fantasy realm. A nice balance. A fast, fun, enjoyable listen with characters that you genuinely like. Highly recommended!
