Totally incomplete

The last chapter was a tedious and meaningless in context of the story. What a huge disappointment for me as a longtime Michener fan!!!

Predictable

Revisado: 06-03-23

I felt I was being given a religion lesson!!!way too much god…Jesus…it was over the top. The reader was good, the story predictable. I would not read another book by this author.

Story could have been a winner

Revisado: 05-05-23

The premise of the story was entertaining. The side story of the love affair was ridiculous and contrived. It actually took away from the entertainment all of the real story.

A lot of history

Although this book is an excellent history of the khan dynasty it is really for history buffs. I am reading this for bookclub it will be an interesting discussion.

Would you consider the audio edition of FREE BONUS DOWNLOAD: The Family Portrait: Four Short Stories about Domestic Life to be better than the print version?

I consider audio the BEST, it frees me up to do other things while I listen. Some tasks are so mind numbing...an audio helps make the task go easier.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The father telling his son about the "worse" word!!!

Which character – as performed by Jon Ronson – was your favorite?

I don't know

What did you like best about Year of Wonders? What did you like least?

I liked the unexpected twists and turns of the story, it was not predictable. Anna seemed to be a little too lucky.

What did you like best about this story?

The ending was excellent, unexpected with a few interesting twists.I

How could the performance have been better?

Have a different reader, Ms. Brooks was awful!!! Perhaps Beverly Dunn would have been good, or just about anyone with some expression in their voice.

Do you think Year of Wonders needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

I do not think the Year of Wonders needs a follow-up book because it ended so wonderfully.

Another wonderful Walt Longmire.

Revisado: 07-21-12

If you could sum up As the Crow Flies in three words, what would they be?

Adventure, Love, Dignity

What did you like best about this story?

I like the interaction between Walt and his best friend...Cheyenne Nation. Also, I like Walt's appreciation of women w/o getting "sloppy".

Which scene was your favorite?

The most thrilling was in the basement of the Indian Building.

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

I hate to put down any of his books.

Any additional comments?

It was sad when the book ended, not for them but for me....it will be a while before there is another Walt Longmire book.

The performer, George Guidell, is excellent. He captures Walt Longmire better than anyone I can imagine. His accents are believable and his reading during suspenseful moments adds to the drama.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I highly recommend this audiobook. It is filled with suspense, believable situations and humor.

What other book might you compare Hell Is Empty to and why?

Cold Dish is a similar book with like situations and a little mystical happenings.

Have you listened to any of George Guidall’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have listened to many performances by George Guidall. He is excellent, I have never heard a book by him that is anything but excellent. He is, by far, my favorite performer.

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

I was on a road trip and wanted it to last the trip. The length of the book fit my needs and the action and performance held my interest throughout.

Any additional comments?

I thoroughly enjoy the Walt Longmire series. I have listened to several and enjoyed all of them.

Too much sex not enough substance!!!

Revisado: 03-16-12

Would you try another book from Stuart Woods and/or Robert Lawrence?

No, the character was so unrealistic...so unbelievable I would hate to waste my time trying another book with the same character.

Has L. A. Dead turned you off from other books in this genre?

No, I love a GOOD mystery. I also like repeat characters, have even come to know and love them. But Stone is not believable...every woman he meets is trying to get him into bed!!!! He is like a very immature teen.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

The reader was alright but lacked depth. He could have read with more excitement in his voice.

Was L. A. Dead worth the listening time?

No. I kept waiting and hoping it would get better. Much to my disappointment it did not.

Any additional comments?

No

Predictable but worth reading during the holiday

Revisado: 12-26-11

Would you listen to An Amish Christmas again? Why?

I think this book is a good holiday read, reminding us of what is REALLY important in life.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

I would like less predictability, perhaps a twist or two in the story rather than so perfect.

What about Cassandra Campbell’s performance did you like?

The performance was excellent.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

True holiday meaning

Any additional comments?

I love audible, can not imagine what I did without it!!!
