Great story with a slow build. A story within a story - and you’ll root for the characters in both. I did. I don’t usually listen to WWII stories but I enjoyed it and learned a bit about wartime Britain.

Fun story. Great primer on DEI

Revisado: 12-05-23

I really enjoyed this story and loved all the moments where the author put into words and action on the page moments where racism and careless words create situations that for some are probably their daily reality. With her heroine being a diversity consultant in a world where her clients want to whitewash real issues, her character’s responses are wonderfully insightful and instructive while still being very entertaining. Bravo! I’d listen again!

Well written, great story telling and narrative by one of my favorites! It’s three books. Grow your book friendships and enjoy the characters of The Keeper Chronicles

Good tale masterfully narrated

Revisado: 08-03-21

A fantasy world vividly rendered with danger and magic in an epic story of good vs evil on the proportions of David and Goliath. Kate Reading breathes life into the pages of the book just as Sable, the main character learns of the strength of her words. But this book isn’t the end of the saga…. So onto the next

Amazing story Wonderful Writing Awesome Narration

Revisado: 12-15-18

Second time I’ve listened to this story. It was as good as the first time through and whet my appetite for the next book that has not yet been released.

A coming of age story in a fantasy landscape. Friendship, intelligence and deep emotional veins run through this story all brought to life by Tim Gerard Reynolds once of my very favorite narrators.

Great story AWESOME Narration

Revisado: 03-31-18

I loved this story with its endearing characters, lions and panthers as human companions and magic steeped in African culture. Wow! Bonnie Turpin did an amazing job bringing the pages to life! I look forward to reading the next installment. In the author’s afterward, she likens the conflict in the story to the landscape of fear and violence African Americans are subjected to. I hope bringing this story to mainstream readers will cross cultural boundaries and build empathy

First zombie story I ever read

Revisado: 10-02-17

While I am not the type to love stories about people being eaten alive by former people, this tale kept me enthralled. Well choreographed, great performance and logical conclusion, I liked it start to finish.

Picks up interest

Revisado: 09-17-17

I liked the austenesque quality of this story cross matched with magic. The narrator at first really grated with her too breathy performance but I preserved and found I could set it aside at last to enjoy the story.

Kept my interest all the way through

Revisado: 05-05-16

Read well by the author. The reason I gave performance four instead of five is because it sounds like the author is in a well reading the story. Don't let that prevent you from listening. I don't know how much of the martial arts/Taoist/TCM is based in fact, but it made me curious! The narrator who is Randall Lee is a very accomplished practitioner but so lost. He's like a shrink who needs to see a shrink.

Not just a story of first love

Revisado: 08-30-13

What made the experience of listening to Eleanor & Park the most enjoyable?

This is a fantastic story. The dialogue is captivating and the narrators did an amazing job bringing the story to life. I've listened to books where I just wished the voice was different because if I was reading it to myself, it would sound different and deserved to sound different. Not so with this story.

But this is not a simple story. Eleanor lives in a dangerous household with an abusive step father, a powerless mother, a biological father who is also a loser and four younger siblings who are needy and just as trapped as Eleanor. Park, who other reviewers also call a misfit, is a product of a loving, stable home life one block away. He is a typical teenager wondering how he fits in. Yes he's part Asian, and his father flips out when he takes to wearing eyeliner, but his parents support and love him in all the right ways.

A touching, hold your breath story with enchanting prose and dialogue. I loved this audio book.
