Apocalyptic!

Revisado: 03-06-18

This has to be one of the most engaging and entertaining books I've ever read. Connie Willis' storytelling and Jenney Sterlin's performance combined to bring each character to vibrant life.

If you love history, if you love science/historical fiction, if you love an incredible story well told, this is the novel you've been waiting for.

Absolutely brilliant.

Brilliant and Thought Provoking

Revisado: 07-19-17

There is nothing like a great story well told. The Hate U Give is just such a story and I cannot recommend it enough.

Wonderfully executed by Angie Thomas and beautifully brought to life by Bahni Turpin, this novel connected me to characters I cared about caught up in a series of life-like events - the real world reactions to which I had trouble relating to before experiencing them through the eyes and heart of Miss Starr Carter and her family and friends - including Plain Ass Chris.

Thank you Angie Thomas and to the Audible editors who so strongly recommended this incredible book.

The Best Version of the Best Thing Ever Written

Revisado: 02-04-17

What did you love best about Henry V?

What's not to love? The quality of the production, the skill of the actors, the work of Shakespeare all combine to make this a truly memorable experience.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Henry V?

Of course, everyone remembers (and many can recite) Act III, Scene I and Act IV Scene III. Both are worthy of an entry into the "English Language Hall of Fame" if there were such a thing.

However, there is pure gold to be found in the several appearances of Flewellen throughout the story. I particularly love the exchange between Flewellen and King Henry immediately following the Battle of Agincourt. The sheer admiration and love Flewellen has for King Henry - both as his sovereign and as a fellow Welshman - for me must be among the best written and, in this case, best presented exchanges in theater.

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

The actors in each and every role are superb and bring the story to life the way Shakespeare intended. The entire production is excellent and I can only imagine that the man himself would have been proud to know that his work was handled in such a masterful way by the directors, actors and recording engineers alike.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

"...The pretty and sweet manor of it forced those waters from me which I would have stopped. But I had not so much of man in me and all my mother came into mine eyes and gave me up to tears." - Exeter, Act IV Scene VI

Any additional comments?

I cannot recommend this version of Shakespeare's Henry V enough. Like a great novel or a moving film, this audiobook is one you will keep as a treasured part of your library to enjoy time and time again.
