Y/A novel?

Revisado: 07-10-24

This book surprised me - I didn’t believe in the main characters, the central romance, the setup (spoiler alert- 15 years after high school the main character still hates herself for being semi-present when her friend dies improbably by a wrong step in the woods -??). I think you’d have to be high school age or younger to find any of it relatable.

Disappointing

Revisado: 04-13-24

The narrator’s silly falsetto voices for women and generally forced delivery. The story doesn’t seem to be particularly well written either.

Painful narration, why so slow?

Revisado: 03-17-24

I'm baffled by the new set of recordings of Terry Pratchett's novels. I really enjoy the actor Bill Nighy in other contexts, and the young man who is the main narrator for this edition has a great voice - but for some reason he's been guided to read this book at sleep walking speed and hyper-careful articulation, as if he's using it to teach the language to non-english speakers. I found it unbearable. It strips the book of virtually all of pratchett's humor. I wish they had just remastered the Nigel Planer- or Stephen Briggs-narrated versions.

First Liane Moriarty book I lost interest in

Revisado: 01-21-24

I loved the other three Moriarty books I read, and Caroline Lee's narration is among the best I've ever enjoyed in an audiobook. This plot however was just too tortuous, detailed and drawn out, with that Hollywood feeling of 'not another plot twist.' I'll gladly give the next Moriarty book a spin - but I couldn't finish this one, and I rarely fail to finish books, audio or otherwise.

Classic with best narrator

Revisado: 01-02-24

Loved James Saxon and how he voices Allen and Fox. He’s the best and this is one of Marsh’s finest books.

Love visiting David’s world

Revisado: 11-19-23

So grateful that this writer and humorist found his calling so the rest of us could view the world from his particular humanist, curious, slightly twisted and literary perspective. I love visiting David’s world. Makes me feel like there’s hope for the rest of us.

Not impressed

Revisado: 09-17-23

The existence of anomalies and wishful musings is not proof of a whole universe of alternative directions human development may or may not have gone. Would I like to believe we've got options other than the one we are living? You bet. Does this book make a respectable case backed with actual evidence (rather than just hopeful maunderings) that we started down other paths repeatedly, and could potentially return to one of these paths at any time? Nope - no, it does not.

Excellent narrator, charming characters, the best most cozy novel when that’s just what you need.

Thank you John Green

I think that’s all I have to say - that and, everyone else, listen to this book. You won’t regret it.
