Excellent Series But Relieved That I Am Done
Revisado: 10-20-11
I began this epic journey in the Spring. I had never heard of this series before I had read about the HBO production. Once I got into the series, I promised myself that I would take a break and listen to something else. I couldn't do it. This is a fascinating journey into a strange, medieval-like world. George R. R. Martin often gets lost in his description of food preparation. I am sure that he enjoys a good meal. Great characters. It is as if the character, Tyrion Lannister, was written for Peter Dinklage.
I agree with several of the earlier reviewers about the voices used by Roy Dotrice. Why does a teenage queen, Daneris Targaryen sound like an old crone. For that matter, why do most of the women sound the same? The men have different voices but the women all sound like Cockney fish mongers. I have one question about the story. Why is it that this culture has been around for thousands of years and they have not invented anything since the cross bow? You would think that somebody could have invented something in all that time. All that aside, this is a great listen. Now I can listen to some other books and wait for the next one in the series. As much as I enjoyed these books, I really can use a change of pace.

One May evening in London, Adam Kindred, a young climatologist in town for a job interview, is feeling good about the future as he sits down for a meal at a little Italian bistro. He strikes up a conversation with a solitary diner at the next table, who leaves soon afterward. With horrifying speed, this chance encounter leads to a series of malign accidents, through which Adam loses everything—home, family, friends, job, reputation, passport, credit cards, cell phone—never to get them back.

Ordinary Thunderstorms
Revisado: 07-26-10
This is a very well written novel. I enjoyed learning about the characters and following the story. I did have a problem with the ending. Unlike Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy, virtually every plot twist is left unresolved at the conclusion of the book. Stieg Larsson resolved the plot issues for each book; although, there were still larger problems that could be addressed in a sequel. I never felt he had simply set me up to buy another book.
Mr. Boyd, while an excellent author, left me feeling disappointed.
