Very funny

Revisado: 01-08-25

Characters were wonderfully defined by reader; great work on the different voices and accents. This book was just fun and enjoyable, making me laugh out loud. I didn’t want it to end.

Narrator great

Unusual beginning, almost made me stop but keep going as the story redeems itself! Love Liane Moriarity!

Reminds me of Hunger Games

Revisado: 11-03-23

I’m feeling a bit as though this is almost a young adult book but it didn’t prevent me from finding it riveting. There are some very steamy kissing scenes (and more—-I didn’t know a kiss could be like that) that add to the romantic story line. Great, surprising conclusion. I’ve already ordered the next book

Yay Stephen!

Well, it was a bit gory but his explanation at the end was so true. There is deep evil everywhere (just read the internet news—-brrr). Personally, I am in accordance with Mr. King’s political views BUT a listener/reader should be able to get past that. COVID was real and haters are haters. Will Patton, btw, would be absurd narrating a female driven work. Love Holly, Barbara and Jerome

Amazing story

Revisado: 08-18-23

Loved the author’s reading of his work, almost poetic. I also read the book at the end when my copy came up at the library. I liked seeing some of the words in print. No synopsis from me (easily obtained elsewhere) but the story and it’s characters are so very real and made me see India of the last century and some of the problems faced by individuals. Great book!!

Stellar Performance

Revisado: 10-25-22

I began reading this as a book, but segued to the audiobook; both are so very enjoyable, I cannot say enough good things. The reader does a superlative job with all of the roles (and there are many). The book itself makes me want to read more Kate Atkinson (Life After Life) was fabulous!

So enjoyable!

Revisado: 06-15-22

I loved this book! Liked it so much after listening to my library audiobook that I elected to buy it for my permanent library. The characters are so interesting and fascinating; I particularly enjoyed being reminded of how professional women were treated in the not so distant past. I also cried a lot. The reader is perfect!

Poor narrator

Revisado: 08-23-21

Plot was, as usual, interesting and a bit macabre so that was great! I have several Pendergast books in my audible library and this one is going BACK! I will never listen to it again. William DeMeritt is not capable of performing a woman’s voice; he made Constance sound like a cranky old shrew and we all know that is not true! Jefferson Mays was a reasonable replacement for the irreplaceable Rene Auberjonais; can we get him back???

What a surprise!

Revisado: 06-26-21

Really enjoyed this as an audible. I cannot imagine reading it in print. Ray Porter did a wonderful job with the “voices”—-I don’t want to give away any spoilers! I enjoyed The Martian also. The author has an impressive knowledge in the science and engineering department.
