Just as good as the movie!

Voice cast was great. Story was engaging for my 8yo son and 5yo daughter. I quite enjoyed it myself as well!

Patrick Stewart’s performance!

Revisado: 12-13-23

Patrick Stewart’s inspired narration has elevated one of my least favorite Narnia stories to one of my favorites!

Another great Narnia Story but not my favorite of the 7

Revisado: 06-08-23

Another good adventure, that includes morals and biblical/Christian symbolism, that can be a bit obvious at times, rather than subtle or nuanced. A pretty basic story, one of the more fairytale like out of the 7 books, but not without more mature moments like Prince Rillian’s final meeting with his father near then end.

Takes you on a journey of longing.

Revisado: 04-24-23

Susan Cain takes you on a journey, exploring longing and joy through many different perspectives on the melancholy and sorrow we are bound to experience in life. One of the main takeaways is that these emotions are not only OK, but also essential to living a whole and fully integrated life.

Hard to follow

Revisado: 04-26-21

I struggled to follow the readings of these poems. I know that Wordsworth is a well respected poet, but I’m not used to the sort of flowery, superfluous language or the didst, thy, hath type of language. I found many times listening to this where my mind drifted off and I had to put in an effort to focus back in. The best audio books are the ones where I have to give very little effort to focus and be drawn in.

I don’t get a lot of time to read so I didn’t feel like putting that effort in. So listening was a bit of an experiment to see if I would enjoy the poetry read aloud enough to listen again or actually take time to get a book in front of me.

Part of it was also the fairly monotone voice that the reader used. And frequent feedback sounds. It was not a quality recording compared to newer recordings or made for Audible options

Finished it in less than a week!

Revisado: 04-25-21

Laughed, cried, thought deeply, found patterns and through lines, and mirrors to my own life. I’m turning 30 this year so I’m about 20 years behind Matthew Mcconaughey and the stores he told and the way he identified green lights in his life at the time and in hindsight has given me a lot of inspiration on what to do as I seek direction at this mile marker in my own life. As much as he prepared himself for the greenlights by living a life to the fullest and not half assing, he also put himself so far out there to catch the lights that it was either catch it or fail. Sink or swim. And because of his values, work ethic, and confidence he always seemed to come out swimming. It the times where he did, it was simply a light he was waiting for to turn green and doing whatever he could to make the most of they time in the meanwhile so he’d be fully ready when it did turn green.

Outstanding Production

Revisado: 02-02-21

It’s productions and voice acting like this that draw you in. This is the 2-3 time I’ve listened to Enders Game. I originally read it in high school. Between the story and production I couldn’t stop listening. It’s the kind of story that draws you in then turns you on your head at the end and totally shifts your perspective about what was happening. Though I prefer the way the book ends things a little more in its full form.
