Excellent!

What a great book! Told from a unique perspective and definitely worth the credit. I was surprised at how engaging it was. It would make a great movie.

Very engaging

Revisado: 11-28-21

This book was really interesting. Slightly blasphemous but I enjoyed it as nothing more than entertainment. And it was overall very interesting. The story was very good. Very good character development as well.

Very enjoyable listen

Revisado: 06-15-20 El oyente recibió este título gratis

I'm a history buff, but have never studied this particular period of English history before. This book was excellent, it was entertaining, engaging and made the time fly! I normally listen to the book before bed and so I found myself staying up later than normal at times, so that I could find out what would happen next. Needless to say, it was well worth the time I spent listening since it was a really good story and well narrated too. The narrator did a good job with changing up the voices for each charactor so that I could tell who was speaking (some narrators don't do voices). I'm looking forward to listening to the next book soon!

Not what I expected, but still a good story

Revisado: 05-17-19

The narrator was pretty good, I liked the accents, it was easy to tell who was speaking at all times. The story was good but dark with some occult topics, as expected. It started a little slow but became rather intriguing the longer that the characters remained in the forest. It was interesting and kept me guessing until nearly the end. The ending was a tad predictable. But the story was otherwise engaging.

It's an interesting book....

Revisado: 01-24-18

What made the experience of listening to The Mermaid's Tale the most enjoyable?

The crux of the story was rather sad. If you're a hardcore sci-fi fan, you might have issues with this universe, I know that I did. In this world, you have dwarves, orcs, mermaids, hob goblins, regular goblins, trolls, humans and vampires too... there might be some others that I've missed as well... That's a lot of mythical creatures for one book! On the other hand, you might like that aspect since the author goes into great lengths to show you the interactions between each race.

What other book might you compare The Mermaid's Tale to and why?

I can't think of a single book that reminds me of this book... there are tons of books about redemption, but redemption is a personal thing.

Which scene was your favorite?

Well I thought that the creation story (how the orcs came to be) was rather interesting. It's unlike anything I could have dreamed up. I must mention that the tone of the book is grittier than a kid appropriate book, I would not let my kids read or listen to it, but, kids today probably would not be shocked by the language used herein.

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

I don't know, this book has more to it... it's not just a sci-fi book, it's not just a book about war, it's not just about redemption, it's one of those stories that has a bit of everything in it.

Any additional comments?

This is not the best or worst book that I've listened to, so I would highly recommend that you take a listen and see if it peaks your interest. We are all different and you can't go wrong with the audible book guarantee.

Charming story...

Revisado: 01-13-18

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

Yes I would. I really enjoyed listening to this book. I've always enjoyed historical fiction and this one was no exception. It was a very charming story.

What other book might you compare Behind the Scenes to and why?

I am not sure. I can definitely say that I found the story to be very chaste and engaging. I recall laughing out loud several times and it definitely improved my commute.

Which character – as performed by Lauren Ezzo – was your favorite?

I liked the main character the best but she did a great job on the male voices, I know that sometimes it's hard to do that well, but she was excellent.

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

Faith and diligence always leads to success.

Any additional comments?

You don't have to be a Christian to enjoy this book, but I found that it re-enforced my faith as I've also seen God's influence in my own life. This was a very enjoyable listen and greatly helped my commute.

I loved this book!

Revisado: 12-28-17

If you could sum up Agent to the Stars in three words, what would they be?

Great fun listen - I totally enjoyed the book. It was fun, unexpected and highly entertaining.

What other book might you compare Agent to the Stars to and why?

It's unlike any story that I've listened to so far. It was very interesting and entertaining.

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

He was awesome. I loved the sarcasm and inflection in the performance. It made this book super easy to listen to.

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

Not one particular moment, but it was just a roller coaster ride of events and emotions. I have zero interest to ever be a Hollywood anything, but it was still lots of fun to imagine.

Any additional comments?

The narration was excellent and the story line was original and entertaining.

I'm torn on this book...

Revisado: 12-28-17

Would you consider the audio edition of Last Days to be better than the print version?

I have not read the print version of this book. I did listen to the entire audio version though.

What other book might you compare Last Days to and why?

This book is not exactly what I thought it was. I have a wide variety of interests and listen to multiple genres of just about everything. I was expecting a .... zombie book based on the title, but it wasn't exactly what I got, and no, I didn't read the description first.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

Ok, to be fair, I didn't hate the narration, but he didn't do any special voices - so the British lab assistant, she didn't have a British accent, lol. Because of this, it was really difficult to follow who was talking and when. Same thing for the television evangelist. In my mind I was hearing the accent of the traditional southern preacher, but there were no special accents used in the performance.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, not really. This book had an interesting slant, but I wasn't super invested in either of the main characters. There was some character development but I wasn't thrilled with where the book was going.

Any additional comments?

I don't mean to sound harsh, it must be hard to write a book. I thought that the premise of the book was interesting, but I just didn't really care for the main characters or the decisions that they made. The narration was also kind of disappointing, but not the worst book that I've ever listened to, since I did make it to the end. I probably will not continue the series though.

Very enjoyable listen...

Would you consider the audio edition of The Rebels of Cordovia to be better than the print version?

I haven't read the book, only listened to the audio version. I like audio books because I can multitask while also listening.

What did you like best about this story?

I liked the fact that it was clean. It wasn't full of graphic sex or violence, it was just a good story with good character development.

What about Carolyn Kashner’s performance did you like?

I liked the fact that she actually gave the characters their own voice - to me that's a sign of a good performance, when you don't have to figure out who's talking (again).

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

This story is compelling and there have been times where I almost wish that my commute was slightly longer so that I could find out what would happen next, sadly, I just can't listen all at one time.

Any additional comments?

This is a solid book and I am looking forward to the next book in the series. My only "complaint" is that the characters seem a little too perfect, but then again, no one wants to listen to an extremely depressing book, and the characters where very entertaining overall.

Just what I needed

Revisado: 08-27-17

What did you love best about God Has a Plan for Your Life?

This is a message of love and hope. I was recently in a layoff from a job that I loved and found very rewarding. The loss of this job was a big blow to me. I felt like a failure, like I wasn't good enough. This book is just what I needed. It really spelled out what I needed to do in order to interpret God's plan for my life. It also reinforced something that I had lost sight of - God loves all of his children and has a plan for each of us!

Who was your favorite character and why?

There were no characters, but I did appreciate the short stories that Dr. Stanley incorporated into this book. Stories speak to us better sometimes than the message alone. I like the simplicity of the message. In this day and age where there is so much technology in our lives I crave the simple things in life and that includes an easy to understand message!

Which character – as performed by Gregg Rizzo – was your favorite?

Gregg Rizzo was a great narrator! He embodied the love and warmth of Dr. Stanley's message so well! I genuinely felt like this message was given just for me.

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

Yes and no. I did not cry but I felt an extremely profound peace after I had listened to the book. I know that I've been trying to walk with Jesus for a long time and I've always felt unworthy and yet I continue to feel his presence in my life over and over again. He truly is a loving God.

Any additional comments?

This book is only a couple of hours long but the message was so deep and powerful that it took me nearly 4 days to truly listen to it. Do yourself a favor and take your time listening to the message. Open your heart and ask God to help you absorb the message. Finally, let the message and God's love work in your life. All things are possible with God.
