Unfortunate Narrator Selection

Revisado: 07-11-21

Uffff. Who picked this narrator why does she punctuate the last word in *every* sentence?? Honestly, I made it about 5 minutes in before I had to turn it off. No one speaks in that cadence, never mind narrates a whole book in such a stilted way. Seemed like a good book but I can’t listen to it. I wish I had read the reviews before because most people seem to feel the same way.

I Loved This Audiobook!

Revisado: 03-08-21

I really love these two narrators (and I’m usually extremely picky about narrators). Both drew me in entirely. I’m an American so I can’t speak to how speak to how good or bad the Irish accents really were but they sounded perfectly fine to me.

The story is also so good. It starts off a bit slow but the love story is wonderful. Is it an “Irish Outlander”? Sure, kind of. Still, it was well written and had me tearing up (a lot). I’m also now very curious about Irish history. I highly recommend!

Who Selected This Nararator??

Revisado: 02-22-21

I listen to different audiobooks every day and this one stopped me in my tracks - and not in a good way. I’m sure it’s a good story but I’ll never know because after about 5 minutes I had to take my headphones out. I’ve come across my share of ify narrator choices in other audio books, but this was the worst by far. Her voice is so bad, I had to wonder about the person who hired her because no one in their right mind would pick this girl thinking she was honestly a good choice. Really disappointed to pass on this book. It seems like a good story.

Great Story

Revisado: 02-02-21

This was my first Jenny Colgan book and I’m hooked on the author! I love how she writes and can’t wait to listen to more of her books.

I also liked the narrator a lot and could listen to her forever. I will say her American accents of the therapist and his wife were unbelievable bad (I’m an American living in NYC and have never heard anything she was shooting for) but luckily those two caracteres had brief speaking parts.

In short, I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants a fun light listen or read!

I should have read the reviews first.

Revisado: 10-24-20

I really wanted to like this book because I kept seeing it everywhere and it seemed interesting, but it was so incredibly difficult listening to the narrator. He drones on and on like he’s just reading words on a page half bored. I couldn’t finish the book (despite realllly trying to and getting nearly to the end) because my frustration with his voice and tone would actually put me in a bad mood.

I read the reviews later wondering if it was just me and was shocked to see so many similar comments - and then I found out the narrator was actually the AUTHOR. What a disservice to your own work.

As far as the content, I found it barely insightful or new. The title really is all you need to read.

Great Little Gem of Short Stories

Revisado: 12-15-19

This book is fantastic and my favorite thing about it is that it offers interesting and unique relationship insights from a doctor. I’ve been listening to it as I travel during the holidays and find the narrator to be really engaging. I think both men and women would like the quirky short stories and great range of characters!
