This person is "leaving the castle!"

Revisado: 11-25-24

Horribly written and horribly narrated. It is most unfortunate that I purchased this book on sale instead of using a credit, because it appears that I am stuck with it. I suppose I should just be thankful I'm only out $6.99. I've been a member of Audible for 12 years and I think this policy is blatantly unfair. Perhaps I will file a complaint with my state attorney general. In any event, don't waste your money or your credits on this book. I'm not sure why the reviews say it is excellent.

At least it was short

Revisado: 11-14-24

Feels like a short story written by a preteen. Predictable. No true beginning or ending

Too much treacle

And it’s pronounced “ga-zee-bow”. Mispronounced word make me cringe and the word gazebo is used frequently

I wish I had followed other reviewers advice.

There is no suspense. There is no atmosphere. I returned it. Buy Shirley Jackson’s book instead.

Addictive!

I don't know why I love it, but I do! I've listened to all of the episodes more than once. You just have to listen and you will be hooked.

You get what you pay for

This was a March free selection. I’m glad I didn’t pay for it. Horrible in every way

5 stars for Alison Larkin

Revisado: 01-15-20

Like most who purchase an Agatha Christie audible, I purchased it for the listen, not because the story was new to me. That being said, Alison Larkin is a wonderful narrator and brought Tommy and Tuppence to life in Secret Adversary. However, James Warwick was horrific! He seemed to feel that shouting Poirot's dialogue made up for his inability to do a Belgian (or even French) accent.

It is unfortunate that two-thirds of the collection are read by Mr. Warwick. I was greatly disappointed after such a promising start. If I could have rated the two performances separately, Ms. Larkin would have received 5 stars across the board. Mr. Warwick would have received none. I will avoid further books read by him. If you want to listen to Agatha, I recommend any but this one.

Gildart Jackson's performance draws you in.

Revisado: 01-08-20

I've listened to all released titles in the Ishmael Jones series and I've listened to them more than once. I wasn't sure why I was so drawn to these books. The plots for each are basically the same; Ismael Jones often misses obvious clues or fails to act when even a human would; and, the continuity is sometimes a little wonky. However, the dialogue is reminiscent of that between Nick and Nora Charles (The Thin Man movie series - watch a black and white movie) and the characters are engaging. Most importantly, Gildart Jackson's performance draws you in and you're trapped. If you've ever listened to anything narrated by Jim Dale, you will have some understanding. His characters are strong, but more so his voice is like a cozy evening in front of the fire with a tumbler of very fine bourbon. Give it a listen. I think you'll be hooked.

Believable,

Where does Fire and Fury rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I couldn’t stop listening.

What other book might you compare Fire and Fury to and why?

None. It stands alone.

Have you listened to any of Michael Wolff and Holter Graham ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No.

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

It meshes with news coverage of the White House and the West Wing, as well as events covered by national media. Even people who are reluctant to listen to this book will come away with a slightly different perspective on national events.

Not a part of the Jeremy Logan series

Revisado: 07-13-17

The book was enjoyable but the main character is Peter Crane. This should not be listed as part of the Jeremy Logan series
