Awful and boring!

Revisado: 01-27-20

This book is just plain weird. I could have missed something when I dozed off. An odd story and an odd telling of a story. A little confusing for me to follow along about Russian fairy tales. The narrator is the only good thing about the book. This book has a lot of great reviews but I thought it was boring. So much so I didn't bother to finish it.

Not one of my favorite listens

Revisado: 12-03-19

The narrator had a very old voice. He just didn't do justice to the story. The story "might" have been more interesting with a different narrator.

Poldark is a great series of books

Revisado: 11-24-19

I just finished the last in Poldark books. I have read, watched, or listened to all twelve. The narrator of the books Oliver Hembrough is exceptional. I wish there were more Poldark books. Thank you Masterpiece Theater for opening my eyes to Poldark.

Very good crime mystery

Revisado: 08-05-18

I live in Maine so I have to criticize the narrators and their terrible attempts at a Downeast Maine accent. Their accents sounded like a cross between a New Jersey/New York/Boston accent. They would have been better off to use no accent at all. Because of their terrible attempt at a Maine accent they were irritating to listen to (especially the Kim accent). Having said that, the story itself kept my interest from beginning to end. Some very interesting twists and turns and a few surprises. Just when you think the prime witness is actually telling the truth the author casts doubt on her version of what happened. I commend the author for referencing actual places in Maine.

Davina Porter is not my favorite narrator

Revisado: 04-01-18

My audio of Drums in Autumn quit at chapter 38 so I finished with reading the book. This book is very long and was full of disappointments for me as far as the story line goes. LOTS happened to poor Roger. Poor Brianna. Diana Gabaldon sure gave her a lot of unpleasantness. Sometimes in telling her stories, Diana Gabaldon writes too much as she did in this book. Overkill. This was not my favorite Outlander book. I read books 1-3. Davina Porter is not my favorite narrator. Book 5 I will definitely read in print.

Interesting from beginning to end.Excellent

First I want to mention the wonderful narrating by Laoisha O'Callaghan. Perfection.
A tragic event hurls a family into the public spotlight by an over zealous female reporter. Right or wrong she singles out a family member and is relentless in reporting his every move. She convicts him in the press and the accusations takes it's toll and his life is destroyed until .....
'Guilty' is a must read book.

Undecided.

For me this is a hard book to review. One minute I liked it and the next minute I hated it. I think the author set the tone when she introduced Edeline as a spoiled, childish, rich brat with violent fits of temper. I immediately disliked her. The bantering between Angus and Edeline got old.The novel takes place before the War of Independence. I did like the historical references to Boston and Williamsburg. It was an okay book.

The best time travel novel!

Revisado: 05-30-17

This book had it all. An excellent narrator, laughter, tears, heroes, villains, betrayals, great characters and excellent story. This was the first time travel novel that I actually enjoyed from beginning to end.
Warning; Keep a box of tissues handy.

Very nice story

Revisado: 05-29-17

I think I would have enjoyed this book more had it been narrated by a male. Lily Collingwood was okay but just did not do justice to my image of Orrick. This book interested me because I have recurring dreams of an unknown man. I dream him as if I am my younger self,
This was a nice story of time travel. I enjoyed it.
