:"Devil's Elbow: Bends My Ear!

Revisado: 05-03-17

Where does Devil's Elbow rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I have to admit I wasn't sure if I was going to like it at first, but it soon grabbed me and I now rank it right up there with the best I have heard. It took me into a whole other world, and isn't that what good entertainment is supposed to do?

I felt like I came to know and more importantly care about the characters and my attention was held throughout the story.

What did you like best about this story?

I thought the author captured the essence of what Native American life might have been like and I found it very believable and listenable. I know she had a lot of work invested in doing research, and it paid off in my opinion. It kept my interest.

They were people from a different time and culture facing human situations - something everyone can relate to from any generation. Well done.

Which scene was your favorite?

I thought the battle scenes really painted a picture as did Onadesh accidentally killing Little Fawn with the arrow. Very poignant and it grabbed my attention. I thought the actress who read the story was very well placed also. She did an excellent and effective performance.

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

I think I already used it in my title for this review. :)

Any additional comments?

I have read other books by Miss Dickinson and I find her to be an unbelievably talented, diligent and prolific author. Her details and research are evident in all her work, and if I see a title by her I know I won't get cheated on content and entertainment value. The lady does her homework so the reader can escape into the story no matter what it is.

As I saidI really didn't know what to expect from the early chapters of this particular story, but it did win me over shortly thereafter and I really enjoyed it all the way through. In this age of short attention spans that's not easy to do. I commend her well written story line.

I also enjoyed how she tied in the characters from the modern generation (and her first book in the series) so it had continuity for me as a reader and fan. I know how much work goes into a project like this, and I commend Miss Dickinson for not only tackling such an impressive workload but delivering another fresh interesting product.

I'm already waiting for the next one! I know already I won't be disappointed.

Double The Pleasure!

Revisado: 01-16-17

What did you love best about The Tunnels?

I have been to Northern Michigan too many times to count and had never heard about the tunnels before hearing this story. I both learned something and was thoroughly entertained while doing so. Next time I pass through the area I will stop and do more research.

What did you like best about this story?

I liked the intertwining of generations and I thought the characters were well developed. It moved along really well, and it had me guessing as to what was going to happen next (which usually was completely wrong). I allowed myself to get lost in it, and I wasn't disappointed.

Which character – as performed by Jack de Golia – was your favorite?

Willie was my favorite but Cupcake runs a close second.

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

I liked the entire piece, and thought it flowed extremely well the entire way through. Nothing in particular stood out, but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it. It held my attention from start to finish.

Any additional comments?

I really liked how the story came together, and both the writing and performance gelled very well in my opinion. I would absolutely read/listen to more work by the author, and I liked this story so much I listened to it again. I don't do that often, and I found it just as entertaining the second time through.

Terrific work Miss Dickinson! Your word use is outstanding. If I had to bet I would bet you are an excellent Scrabble player as well.
