BRING BACK Robert Glenister!!!!!

Revisado: 10-14-24

How to spoil a really good book? Give it to a narrator (Paul Blake) who obviously could not be bothered to learn from his predecessor's (Robert Glenister) delivery of this story and could not learn how to pronounce most of the names or read properly.
This is the second time I have listened to this book and it is the second time he has spoilt it for me! If I could have marked the Performance with zero stars I would have!

Whatever happened to the author to produce such a mixed bag - great start, ridiculous end!!

Revisado: 04-22-24

Loved the first half; read the second half with a growing sense of disbelief that the plot could become so utterly ridiculous!! Back to writing school for another ten years Mr Hayes!!

Interesting and informative

While being a bit repetitive, this book is well worth listening to. It is very well and sympathetically narrated, which made a big difference.

Recipes are not necessary!

Revisado: 05-21-18

Great book, great story, great characters!! BUT, completely irrelevant recipes are not needed; especially when they dont even include quantities or any really meaningful cooking instructions.

Please!!!!!!!!!!!! Leave out the recipes!

Revisado: 05-21-18

It would have been five stars all round; but the recipes became one of the most annoying parts of a book that I have ever experienced, so much so that I had to knock of a star for each category.

PLEASE WILBUR!!!!!! Give us something new

Revisado: 10-26-14

Wilbur, Wilbur, Wilbur!!! Where has all the inspirational story-telling gone? This is just a boring monologue that makes one want to vomit every time your self-obsessed main character chooses to tell us just how brilliant he is with everything he does (almost once a page).

We know you just write the outline now, but get someone new to flesh it out! AND, try coming up with a new story-line with some imagination.If not, it would be preferable if you stop writing now, rather than continuing in this vein and taking our coin just because of what you have done in the past.

Get a narrator who knows a little history

Revisado: 08-30-13

What a wooden narration! Made worse by an obvious complete lack of knowledge of the subject matter which led to annoying miss-pronunciation of names & places. Please, Mr Iggulden - a good narrator is almost as important as you! Try Humphrey Bower to see how it is really done.

Be warned!!!!!!! Very dodgy narration

Revisado: 09-30-11

He spoilt this book and he spoilt War & Peace - why do you give classic or historical books to someone who is so devoid of any ability to transform the words into anything resembling reality for the the characters or background scenes? His manner of speaking was completely wrong for this book; he should be left to read books by the likes of Oscar Wilde, which would be much more in keeping with his tone and manner of delivery.

Narrated by a six year old!!!!

Revisado: 05-04-11

While the content was good, the one thing that completely ruins this audiobook is the narrator; he sounds like a six year old reading a bedtime story.
