Would like to give the story 3.5 stars

Revisado: 02-06-16

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

Yes. The narration is excellent. The story is fast paced and has some interesting, unpredictable, twists.

If you’ve listened to books by Carter Wilson before, how does this one compare?

It's my first

Which scene was your favorite?

Don't have a favourite

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

No. It's not that kind of book.

Any additional comments?

Another wonderful narration by Rebecca Roberts. And some of these review questions just don't apply to this book so I couldn't do justice to it!

Good story. Excellent translation

Revisado: 01-09-16

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Yes I would. I would particularly recommend it to someone who is new to thrillers. It is a good, and quite original read. Rebecca Roberts narration is excellent as usual.

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

The only irritation for me was the over emphasis on the "preciousness" of musicians. I know many and in my experience they are all quite normal and treat what they do as a job. These include a couple of famous ones!

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

Rebecca is always a professional and all her books are a delight to listen to.

Could you see Breaking Measures being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Yes I can see it as a TV series. As I don't watch TV or films I can't commend on the stars!

Any additional comments?

I always recommend narrations by Rebecca Roberts.

Short but perfectly formed

Revisado: 10-06-15

What did you love best about Blind Rage?

I was gripped by this book. Wonderful characterisation and excellent narration.

What did you like best about this story?

It had a raw honesty.

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

No, I haven't listened to him before as far as I know. I love his voice and he reads beautifully. I certainly hope I get the opportunity to listen to him again.

What’s the most interesting tidbit you’ve picked up from this book?

That the unhappy and damaged, still have less empathy than the privileged

Any additional comments?

Very enjoyable listen.

A concise, neatly written. Excellent narration

Revisado: 09-05-15

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

Yes. A good, gripping story. Fabulous narration by Rebecca Roberts. Although short this book is worth a credit.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Good Neighbor?

The first chapter.

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

Rebecca Roberts is a wonderful narrator. I won't miss anything she reads that is in a genre that I enjoy. She is one of the best in my view.

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

Who do you trust?

Any additional comments?

The only weakness in this book is the, inevitable, shrine to the victim of obsession. Sadly this has been done too many times before. The first chapter was a highlight for me.

Beautiful narration

Revisado: 07-09-15

Would you listen to Aberrations again? Why?

No. I was a bit confused by this one. The book is beautifully written and the characters are quirky and well drawn. But somehow the story never quite grabbed me. I did listen to the end, but mostly because the narration was flawless and Rebecca Roberts managed to keep me engaged enough to want to know what happens.

Would you be willing to try another book from Penelope Przekop? Why or why not?

No. For the above reasons

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

Without Ms Roberts I would have given up on the story.

If you could take any character from Aberrations out to dinner, who would it be and why?

Carla, the step mother of the main character. She was the only one I actually identified with.

Any additional comments?

This book just misses. It's a shame. However, I suspect this might just be me and I would be interested to know what other people thought.

Narration terrible

Revisado: 03-28-14

What would have made Philomena better?

A different narrator. This reader just managed to pinpoint the book's weak areas after five hours of misery from him and the self-pity from the characters I couldn't go any further. Perhaps a different narrator would have improved the whole atmosphere. I just couldn't continue.

Would you ever listen to anything by Martin Sixsmith again?

I would listen to this again with a different narrator. The book is supposed to be wonderful. I did find it a bit heavy as there was absolutely no humour at all and some of the poignancy was lost to me because of the endless misery.

What didn’t you like about John Curless’s performance?

Pretty much everything.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Irritation and ultimately disappointment.
