Difficult to relate

Revisado: 10-05-18

Often a book sells due to an authors’ popularity than content. This is one such book of seemingly meaningless stories but in classic Murakami style the language is lucid and the plots easy on your ears

An overly stretched short story

Revisado: 09-17-16

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Chapters 20 till end (25) is the entire mystery and the whole read.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

Predictable and undramatic.

What three words best describe John McCormack’s voice?

Dull and monotonous. Needs lessons in pronunciation. Calling Urdu (oordu) Erdu????? Really? So high handedness and disregard

Did In the Woods inspire you to do anything?

Change the book

Any additional comments?

I'm thoroughly disappointed and completely misguided with Audible's recommendation of this book.

After a promising start the book lost it's grip in parts. The central plot was good but wish more attention was paid to the planning which makes the plot thicker

Amy's character

Articulate, persuasive, cogent

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disappointment - not about the plot but about the lack of authenticity in a relationship

It needed to be crisper

What did you like best about Helter Skelter? What did you like least?

It is an original account of the murders presented lucidly. However the very long narrative ambles along and fails to grip the listener in many parts. Sometimes you wish it would end soon, because the end is predictable.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

Belied my expectations.

Have you listened to any of Scott Brick’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

The Narrator is superb. I look forward to more of his works

Was Helter Skelter worth the listening time?

Let me just say, it would have been unforgettable if edited better. It lost the crispness through the long winded narrative.

Any additional comments?

All true accounts need a bit of dramatisation for the newer generations. They should be made more contemporary and ageless.

Waste of time

The narrator

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

It's a drab script, not engaging

Would you be willing to try another one of Campbell Scott’s performances?

No

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

None I can think off

Any additional comments?

May I have a refund

Masterpiece

Revisado: 09-03-12

What made the experience of listening to I, Claudius (Dramatised) the most enjoyable?

Unbeatable recording. Every nuance of the language and affliction is audible and extremely well executed. A completely immersing ride.

There are times, when I didn't want the traffic to clear.

No match to the original text

Revisado: 09-03-12

What did you like best about The Name of the Rose? What did you like least?

The audiobook is no match to the original text. "The Name of the Rose" leans heavily on the characterisations of the various players and borrows heavily from the catholic history. The ominous and engaging temperant is missing in the audio book. The book seems like an abridged version of the original, reproduced in a haste.

Abrupt

Revisado: 04-26-12

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Time well spent since it's engaging. The performances are super

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

Part 1 with Jonathan Harker's account was abruptly cut off and followed by Van Helsing's account. I wish the Harker's section had a more compelling end.
