Gut wrenching but necessary read

Revisado: 01-23-25

It boggles the mind to think we humans are capable of such inhumane behavior towards each other. We must summon the courage necessary to speak up for what’s right. Not be silenced out of fear of offending.

I couldn’t listen for very long. She is full of herself. Wish I could get my credit back.

Thought it would be good...

Revisado: 05-11-24

The first book was entertaining, I enjoyed the Irish humor and way of speaking.... So I gave the second book a go. Painful. It sounded as if it were written by a seventh grade girl and narrated by an Anime actor. I couldn't go on. The characters were stereotypical, one dimensional and predictable. What happened??

Richard Armitage is phenomenal!

Revisado: 01-24-24

I’m a huge fan of Agatha Christie and have listened to numerous audiobooks but Richard Armitage’s narration is by far the BEST. His calm, clear voice, his cadence, his interpretations of characters spot on makes this production one I will definitely listen to again. HIGHLY recommend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The raw depiction of life and survival

Revisado: 01-03-24

I’m determined to listen to all 5 books in the Leather stocking tails.
Did people really speak like that? This unabridged version was good but the narrator was at times too monotone and sounded like Nick Offerman. Tbh, tiresome. Nonetheless, the story was spellbinding and so unlike the Hollywood movie I had to know what JFC’s story was really about.

A glimpse into the past

Revisado: 12-30-23

Listening, instead of reading permitted me to imagine more vividly what JFC intended to portray in this story. I would have struggled with the accents and pronunciations. The narrator did a fine job distinguishing between the characters.
I appreciated the historical context through the lens of his time and not our current pc. It’s no wonder The Deerslayer has remained a favorite.

The narration is mezmerizing

Mike Grady’s narration is worth the purchase alone. I learned quite a lot about trees, I have a better appreciation for them as a species.

Huge disappointment

Revisado: 07-01-22

Apart from one very entertaining paragraph about rowers and their quirks, this story was a huge disappointment. Painfully similar to Harry Potter stories. The poor, misunderstood genius prodigies Calvin and Elizabeth, who were kept down by the muggles… or in this case, non science folk, or jealous men or clergy, or teachers, or coworkers…
It had the depth of a poorly translated Japanese anime drama, maybe in part to the narration, but I doubt that. The “perfect woman in every way” who faced unbelievable challenges was more believable in Outlander. To sum it up, it was a feminist’s fantasy, a hodgepodge of woke drivel and I felt relieved when I decided not to finish it.

Bees 10 Story 3

Revisado: 05-05-20

As a beekeeper, I really wanted to love this book. I can completely understand why bees and the grandfather with his honey bus saved this girl, but jeeeeeze, the mother and grandmother were such losers and the performance was annoying. The narrator sounded like a voice from a Japanese anime, kind of snarky, lacking depth. The author's descriptions were vivid, I'll give her that.

The spirits of Christmas past, present and future!

Revisado: 12-13-19

The spirits of Christmas past, present and future for me!
We took turns reading this classic out loud growing up. To have it be narrated by his great, great grandson while I’m busy preparing for Christmas is a delightful gift I give to myself!
God bless us everyone!
