Phyllis 110

I can’t believe I listened to the whole audiobook

Revisado: 11-19-23

The narration was so grating….at times it was like nails on a chalkboard. It’s hard to evaluate the actual story because the narration was such a distraction. It makes me realize that the narration is equally as important as the story itself.

Bad narration…

Revisado: 05-10-23

Couldn’t get past the poor narration. Overly dramatic, distracting from the story, might have been good,

Couldn’t finish…

Revisado: 08-06-22

I listened to more than half, but couldn’t finish. I’ve enjoyed other books by this author, but this one felt amateurish. The narrator ruined what was already a weak story. Some of the dialogue seemed childish. This may be the writing or could be the oddly over inflection of the narrator.

Couldn’t finish…

Revisado: 06-04-22

Could not finish. Not sure if it was the narrator or the story. I lost track of the characters. After 5 hours, did not feel invested enough to go back and sort them out.

Good, but...

Revisado: 01-05-21

Didn’t care for the interpretation of the female voices. Instead of sounding strong and intelligent, he makes them sound brash and pushy. This really detracts from the female roles, especially Hester.

Haunting

Revisado: 01-28-20

The subject matter was hard to listen to because of the extreme cruelty to the victims. Knowing it was based on actual events added to the depth of the characters physical and emotional pain. It was well written, almost too well written, if that can be possible. Such clarity of the portrait of events and the understanding of how and why secrets are kept was haunting.

Couldn't finish because of the narration.

Revisado: 02-08-17

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

Unsure, since I couldn't finish this book.

Would you be willing to try another book from Colleen Coble? Why or why not?

Maybe with a different narrator.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Her inflections were more suited for a children's book.

What character would you cut from Butterfly Palace?

N/a

Any additional comments?

No

This is a story?

Revisado: 08-13-05

SB should stick to mystery writing. Romance is not her forte'. This is basically soft porn with a hint of a story. Apparently Ms Brown doesn't realize that romance stories do not have to contain so much detailed physical/sexual descriptions-at least 80% of the book falls into this category. An actual story is so much more compelling.....

Across the Nightingale Floor

Revisado: 12-18-04

An unforgetable story....the characters lingered in my mind between listenings and long after the story ended. Thankfully, there are two more to the series. The writing is beautiful, never overdone. The readers could not be better, adding to an already captivating story. Definitely a favorite!

The Face

Revisado: 12-18-04

Wordy, descriptions went on and on....left little to the listener's imagination. Since it was choppy, it took a bit to get into the story. HOWEVER, once the characters and the story came together, I was hooked! Even the extensive descriptions were overlooked. I could hardly wait for the next opportunity to listen. Glad I stuck it out....it was memorable. I will probably listen to it again.
