Excellent Narrator

Revisado: 07-10-23

Richard Armitage is terrific. He made the book come to life and held my attention during the slower bits. Dickens' use of dialect can be mystifying, but Armitage nailed it. It was like the difference between reading a Shakespeare play and seeing it performed on stage by the best actors.

Interesting story undone by anachronism and cliché

Revisado: 01-03-19

I kept wanting to like this book. The time period and premise interest me, but the writer needs a better editor and and fact checker. The heavy reliance on cliches just seems lazy. Maybe another draft would have helped tighten it up.

A major flaw in timing

Revisado: 05-30-14

Where does The Writer in the Garden rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

near the top EXCEPT for a major flaw - there is no pause between the chapters, in fact each seems to start before the previous one has even ended - which is extremely annoying and jarring.

What three words best describe the narrators’s performance?

all excellent readers

Any additional comments?

The readers are all wonderful and end each reading on just the right note. If just a second or two were inserted between the chapters, it would make all the difference in the world.
