Where does Independent People rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Independent People ranks first or second among the 200 or so books I've listened to.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The two main characters are both compelling. Both are trans-formative, both growing and maturing into new identities.

What does Michael Page bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Michael Page's narration and interpretation of the characters was splendid and expert. It was like listening to a play and he was playing all the parts and all were presented uniquley.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

This book should be consumed slowly and thoughtfully over time. It is not a piece of pulp fiction to chew up in one sitting.

Any additional comments?

Independent People can be a complex read. There are elements of description that seem overdone and unnecessary at times but the reward comes from the ultimate knitting together of compelling scenes and powerful characterizations. Well worth spending the time.

Great Presentation

John Keating brought this story alive and introduced interesting POV by the masterful personification of One Eye. Great first novel for Sara Baume.

Too much research

Revisado: 08-23-16

the story was interesting for the most part but it seemed to be overtaken by copious volumes of information from in depth research. also too much description of appearance , clothing, good snd drink etc. often seemed like extraneous filler that detracted from the story.

Okay

There were a couple good ideas here but the author should leave the self help stuff to Tony Robbins

The information was easy to follow and very relevant. Practical and sensible. Glad to hear that I follow most of the steps that Rachel does.

good arguments for atheism. narrator could have presented more slowly. some topics could have used more depth.

Too Girly for my taste

Revisado: 08-29-14

What would have made Outlander better?

More action early on. Too much time having tea etc.

Has Outlander turned you off from other books in this genre?

I won't read the further books in the series.

What didn’t you like about Davina Porter’s performance?

I didn't feel the performance brought me close enough to the characters

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

I thought the premise/story-line was interesting and had potential but it didn't go where I thought it should.
