mispronounced, pauses & voices the same

Revisado: 04-09-24

Story was fine. Narrator mispronounced the town. She paused after quotes so that I really noticed "he said," "she howled," "he wondered," etc. And, as other people have said, voices all were the same as narration.

Strange mixture

Revisado: 02-19-24

Strange mixture of comedy & grief. Heart-felt & interesting, probably beneficial for those who are mourning. In the intro, he says that he shows pictures but he will describe everything. Not true. All through the monologue he's showing the audience things & the listener is left out, wondering what they look like.

Fascinating

Revisado: 02-03-24

I had no idea Hedy Lemarr led such an interesting life. She was brilliant, strong, honorable, beautiful, & a talented actor. The book was very well written. I only wish it had continued to the rest of her life - but it ended on a high note.

Predictable

Revisado: 02-03-24

it was canned & predictable, formulaic. I stopped listening halfway through. The performance was ok, but the story was not well-written.

important work, mediocre reading

Revisado: 05-10-22

This is a very important book. Women, especially, need to read this.

The narrator sounded like she was just reading it, not speaking to me. Pauses before section titles were not long enough, so it always took me a moment to realize it was a title & not an odd, incomplete sentence. The reading in parts, such as the research in chapter 2, was especially dry, & boring - & therefore seemingly unimportant. Research results may be dry, but don't drone on; talk to me about it!

usual great writing

Revisado: 02-15-22

Exciting story, with the usual Crichton attention to detail. Air safety, office politics, union scrutiny... by the middle you won't be able to stop listening.
The only let-down was the reading. It was OK, but she kept ending sentences with lifted tone, so I didn't know it was the end of a sentence. I had to struggle to focus on the story & ignore it.

Was expecting general inspiration

Revisado: 10-19-21

This is specifically Christian. There's a lot of talk about Jesus. Great, if you follow that tradition. Not so much for others. There should have been info on this in the synopsis. I had to regretfully stop & remove from device.

performance was wooden

Revisado: 12-19-20

Terrible delivery. Slow and careful, everything read with the same tone. I'm pretty sure the writing was rambling, but it may have been the way it was read. I found the informal dialog odd in the context of the story.

Awesome!

Revisado: 02-24-17

Excellent, detailed advice for living wholeheartedly. She is funny, engaging & honest. It was fun listening to her talk to a live audience. On the other hand, it was frustrating when I knew she was making a face or doing something and I couldn't see it. Most of the time she explained what she was doing for people listening.
