Good, but not compelling

Revisado: 08-25-15

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

The premise was terrific and plausible, but the story was just not engaging.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

The "look" into the near future was spot on given the current world scene. The characters were pretty 1 dimensional.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Rich Orlow?

Maybe. Not sure if his performance influenced my opinion of the book.

Wow, just Wow.

Would you consider the audio edition of 11-22-63 to be better than the print version?

Don't know about the print version, but the narrator of this story was without question the best I've ever heard. What a performance, and that's what is was. Tour de force!

What did you like best about this story?

Absolutely everything. It grabbed me from the get go and never let go.

What about Craig Wasson’s performance did you like?

He was spectacular getting into the characters. Best I've ever heard.

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

The end was touching and sweet. Couldn't have been better.

Any additional comments?

I was afraid I'd never listen/read another King book after I attempted to read Mr. Mercedes. I had to abort. 11-22 might be the best book he's ever written and that's saying a lot.

Exceptional book for golfers with multiple secrets

Revisado: 07-05-15

N/A Both Watson and Nicklaus are the only characters and both have interesting stories

Which character – as performed by George Newbern – was your favorite?

N/A

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Interesting, but tended to get a bit mushy

Revisado: 07-05-15

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

Depends on who it is. I found the book enjoyable and interesting to a point, but the author could get a little too caught up in emotional speculation.

Would you be willing to try another book from Sy Montgomery? Why or why not?

Perhaps, but not sure

What three words best describe Sy Montgomery’s performance?

overly enthusiastic

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

Several touching and astounding moments focusing on the octopus's amazing abilities

Any additional comments?

I like the book in general, but there was just a tad too much kuybaya.

A must read

Revisado: 05-03-15

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

One of the best books I've listened to on Audible. It completes the HBO documentary by putting faces with names.

What did you like best about this story?

Lays the "church" to bare and illuminates how a cult/mafia operates.

What about Morton Sellers’s performance did you like?

Provides the perfect tone and tenor for the narrative.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

My wife told me I'd say, "You've got to be s****ing me" for about every 10 minutes of listening.

Any additional comments?

After you read this book, you'll understand why the Germans wouldn't allow Scientology to establish there. One Hitler was enough.

Narrator might be the best I've heard

Revisado: 11-23-14

Where does Sycamore Row rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Nice yarn. Time to Kill might have been the last Grisham book I've read and this was equal to it.

What other book might you compare Sycamore Row to and why?

Up there with Robert Galbraith's Silkworm and Cuckoo's Calling in the way the story keeps your attention

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

This is the first one, and he may be the best narrator I've heard. Just nails the accents and mannerisms.

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

Yes

Any additional comments?

My only quibble with Grisham is that every character has a stereotypical southern name--Jake, Lucien, Rubin, Seth, Calvin, Booker, Lettie, Axel, Sylvester, Harry Rex, etc. No Bill, John or Bob in this novel....

JK Rowling is a genius

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

Probably the best so far.

What did you like best about this story?

Rich characters, great story.

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

This is just as good as the last one. He makes a great story come alive.

Any additional comments?

I never did get into Harry Potter, but I can't wait for the next Cormoran adventure.

Never a Harry Potter fan, but this.....

Would you consider the audio edition of The Cuckoo's Calling to be better than the print version?

I have to think so. The narrator was brilliant.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Great characters, story moved along, kept you guessing.

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

He may be the best narrator I've heard. Made all the characters come to life.

Would you consider the audio edition of Factory Man to be better than the print version?

can't compare

What other book might you compare Factory Man to and why?

Nothing comparable that I know of.

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

No

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

Jim Franklin nearly killing the auther.

Any additional comments?

It should be required reading for all of those like me and my family who live in the area but "ain't from around here". We've been here for 17 years, I served on the Henry County BOS, but I never knew just how much all these characters were interrelated. Now I know why the place is the way it is. Kudos to Beth Macey.
