Worst narrator

Revisado: 01-16-24

The story was way too long. The narrator used the absolute worst accent for some of the French/English characters. A combination of cringe-worthy cockney and comic French. Horrible and managed to negatively detract from the story every time these characters spoke.

Really contrived

Revisado: 09-04-23

If you like bible references, going to church and football, then this is the book for you. I personally had a hard time getting past all that to appreciate the story/mystery and will not take another chance on this author.

Improbable

Revisado: 08-23-23

The most improbable story I have listened to in a very long time. More coincidences than you can count on two hands and most of the characters are simply weird and unbelievable. Did not like this book at all! Also the narrator often swallowed audibly—very annoying.

Very slow start

Revisado: 08-03-23

Almost gave up on this book. It was a very slow start and took about two hours for me to even start caring for the main character. Ergo the 3 stars for the story. The style of writing was clever though, so I kept at it. Glad I did and enjoyed the feel-good ending.

Terrible story and worse narrator

Revisado: 12-02-22

The most ridiculous storyline i have encountered in a very long time. The narrator was over dramatic and grating to listen to. Don’t waste your money!

Horrible

Revisado: 06-03-22

Even though I listened to most of this story, it was one of the worst I downloaded in a very long time. The narrator was awful at speaking the daughter’s voice and not great for most of the rest. And the story itself was absolutely implausible!

Terrible narrator!

Revisado: 06-27-21

I couldn’t get through the first five minutes before having to stop listening. Will not got back to this book —very grating, sing-song-y voice. Terrible!

Interesting story

Revisado: 06-10-21

But the narrator for Els (Imogen Church) is so grating, I often had to fast forward just to get through her bits. Rosie Jones is a great narrator though, so hard to rate the performance: 5 stars for Rosie, 1 for Imogen. She is way too dramatic and sing-songy in her expression—a big turn-off for me. The story itself was very engaging and I learned a lot about what went on in China during WW2. Recommend reading over listening.

Too too long and convoluted

Revisado: 02-27-21

One of the most drawn out, and at times confusing to follow books I have listened to in a very long time. I was interested in the time and place of the story and learned a bit about some of the trials that the Czechs experienced following WW2. However it was at times hard to follow the thread from one chapter to another and I found it frustrating and distracting from the story. Also the reader was pretty awful. On the whole not a total waste of time but just barely.

Beware this book is mostly about god, the Bible, Jesus, etc.

Revisado: 01-10-20

I had no idea this author wrote with a very Christian bias. Would never have bought it had I known! Plus the story itself is just plain sappy and the reader equally so.
