a different twist in the series

Revisado: 03-16-25

this particular story is a bit different from previous Colbeck tales. there's really two tales that have similar themes but no real connection. Madelyn is given her own mystery to solve and does so, but she comes off just a bit too self depreciating about her artistry. colbeck's mystery has superintendent Tallis either changing his style or acting out of character. leiming is portrayed as less of a partner for collect than usual. but it's well done and the themes of the two mysteries is also handled well.

bad narration

Revisado: 12-29-24

love good historical stories, especially those prior to the industrial revolution. Sadly, this is one I'll have to read in print. I struggled with a narration that has as much animation as the reading of a grocery list, and finally gave up.

prejudiced

Revisado: 09-05-24

the author focuses on the conflicts and sects of Christianity , but completely ignores voodoo, fantasia, all of the south and north American religions and sufis, among others. he glosses over the interline conflicts of Sunni and Shia Islamic groups and ignores the various conflicts within Buddhism. he asserts that the Christian, Jewish and Islamic faiths are uniquely violent, but ignores that it may well be a mere fact of written records. Certainly mass sacrifices were conducted Aztec and wars were conducted to obtain sacrifices. there's the Greek stories of gods deciding to kill whole groups ( Trojan war, Promethius, etc) sumeria, assyria etc certainly thought their city gods were on their side..... Even when addressing Christianity, the author focuses on the US. no mention of the Inquisition for example, or the crusade against sects (Albigensian crusade/ cathar sect). not really worth even a discounted price.

not much about AL

Revisado: 09-01-24

most of this production is anecdotes of the authors experiences, food discussions, a travelogue and stories of other dogs. there's maybe 10% about AL. nor is there any real details of the history of the program, any other places that use water rescue dogs.

dismisses without any reason genetic factors. yet aggression and impulsive behaviors are known to have genetic involvement in dogs. but this came as a highly discounted audio, so I don't feel as annoyed at the value as I might be. does have a few interesting moments

wonderful

Great presentation of the story of Penelope. one could wish this author does all the major myths, maybe even some of the quasi historical legends

disappointed

Revisado: 06-13-24

the author indeed presents a story with nothing supernatural and I suppose it is plausible. However, none of the characters are appealing. perseus is frankly a psychic sociopath. I don't find his transformation particularly believable. the three women are naive or stupid . there certainly are such people, but i could have hoped for stronger and smarter women. there were plenty of historical women one could have used as an example.

outstanding

Revisado: 06-12-24

one of the best works on Julius Caesar I've encountered. presented as the kind of person he likely really was and not as those who opposed him presented him.

opinionated

Revisado: 06-01-24

the author posits an interesting theory regarding Henry the eighth, but sadly there's not a lot of provided evidence. moreover, the author diverts into asserting varying intelligence or stupidity about the same person among those who interacted with Henry. she asserts the Richard III story, which is both irrelevant to Henry 8 and by actual documented evidence, untrue. asserting that modern mores are not applicable, she condemns Anne of cleves for watching bull baiting and yet excuses Jane for her infidelity....and again, neither are especially relevant to the postulated medical condition of Henry 8. not impressed.

another good "Holmes"

Revisado: 05-07-24

like how lestraude is presented. stories are reasonable and plausible. while virtual voice gets the job done, a real narrator with good cadence would improve this
