and what happened next

Revisado: 08-08-21

Long as this book is, I was sorry when it ended. I bought it because I knew the readers were good, and so they were. Spending so many hours listening to those two is so many hours of bliss. The story of the book is good, even if full of the usual tropes. The writing is at least grammerly checked, and the characters don't contradict themselves. The contradictions that can invade a human life are well represented. The youthful love in the middle of the end of the world was, at least, youthful. Only the very brave would sacrifice so many lives to stop saving the world to get married. That's youth for ya.

Good book, well edited, excellent performer. The Spell monger is much more mature now, directing the participants in the astonishing range of adventures rather than performing so many heroics. Having a key battle in the middle instead of using it as the ending signals that this is not a cliff hanger series, edited for the primary purpose of making you buy the next book to see what happened. This is a book that stands tall on its very long own. There are horrors, but having them dealt with in an interesting way is very satisfying.

It's a copy of the Royal Spyness novelettes but

Revisado: 05-08-21

But it's a very good copy, and comes with an excellent narrator. And by copy, I don't imply a copyright infringement, but more of a copy of the general idea. This book is amusing, well paced, a book that will brighten your day. And the Spyness novels have an inferior narrator so you won't be listening to them any more.

this is not about math or science

Revisado: 05-05-21

It's just a collection of ways to avoid procrastinating. Uninteresting (mostly) if you don't procrastinate in the first place, or if you already know how to avoid falling into this bad habit. This was a wasted credit. Also, listening to the strained and sometimes condescending voice of the narrator was tiresome. A better narrator would at least have made this a good listen for falling asleep to. At least he spoke proper English.

Weak performance, flabby writing

Revisado: 04-25-21

Bad and brackfasting beyond endurance. I thought I might be able to use this as material for English as a second language courses, since to some foreigners soap opera style writing is an insight into the "way Americans live". A world where people "socialize" instead of do things together and where you always have to mention that every person in the family was individually grateful if they all liked something. But really, didn't it ever occur to anyone that a book about Nantucket should not be read with a Western US accent!!

editing problem

Revisado: 03-13-21

Evidently this was written as a serialized article, requiring a reiteration of background information to accompany each sequential article. Proper editing would have removed this problem, but was omitted. The beginning part of the story is boring beyond belief, and a good editor would have edited this section out or into some other location within the story. The narration technique of slowing down or even stopping the story at moments of tension might be the sort of cute narration you expect from some old men, but the cuteness of this wears thin quickly. This book was quite an unsatisfactory listen.

good book properly narrate

Revisado: 03-04-21

watch out for the violence, the brutal sex and the gory dogs.. Notwithstanding the narrator's feel-good voice, this is not a feel-good book

well done combo of real life details and eternal

Revisado: 02-20-21

truths, narrated by a warm and pleasing voice with no grammatical slip ups or obvious accent flaws that I could detect. Fine entertainment with some edge of the seat action, a little sex, some family values and a good display of southern small town psychology.

new narrator needed

Revisado: 02-12-21

A huge section is about China and every single Chinese name is mispronounced. Shameful. Jonathan Davis should not have agreed to narrate this book, and the idea that nobody cares about the mispronunciations of Chinese words is a prejudicial disgrace. Whichever editor made that decision should be treated to a 15 hour listening experience with every single English word badly mispronounced. It stops being funny pretty soon
