not my thing - too much recorded laughter .

Revisado: 03-22-20

I'm sorry but I just don't find the jokes funny and the story telling too drawn out and annoying. On the other hand I don't live in North America so maybe it's a cultural barrier that's blocking my funny bone.

What about Nicholas Boulton’s performance did you like?

What talent ! the character of the Duke was wonderfully conveyed - the frustration with his mental impediment, his inner feelings, his character development. Perfect! I don't think I would have had the same experience if I had just read the book.

Where does Dawn of Wonder rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

this book is a keeper! great prose, great narrator
if you loved Harry Potter, if you loved the Kingkiller Chronicles ( Patrick Rothfuss ) then this book is for you

Any additional comments?

I think I would have liked to savour this book by reading it first and then listening to the audio book.

I think my second listen will be even more enjoyable than the first!

A 'My Fair Lady/ Mary Poppins' mix

Revisado: 11-05-16

If you could sum up The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place in three words, what would they be?

very "British" vocabulary

What about Katherine Kellgren’s performance did you like?

her voice was well suited to interpret the authoritative but kind Mary Poppins like nanny and the snobbish, unfeeling aristocrat parents and their society

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

the story ended almost in mid sentence - a bit of a let down - even for a 'series'

Any additional comments?

might not be appreciated by North American children

For Tolkien enthusiasts only

What did you love best about Exploring J.R.R. Tolkien's 'The Hobbit'?

This is a fantastic book for those very familiar with most Tolkien's main works. You should be familiar ( the books, not the movies ) not only with the Hobbit, but the Lord of the Rings and the Silmarillion in order to appreciate this book. Feel like digging deeper into Tolkien's style, meaning and method of writing - this book is for you.

Any additional comments?

Each chapter of the Hobbit is examined to bring out points that even after several readings may have been missed.

great introduction to the Grand Canyon

Revisado: 06-02-15

Would you listen to Grand Canyon again? Why?

I will definately listen to this book again ( after my first visit to the Grand Canyon this year ). It put my future Grand Canyon trek into perspective.

Any additional comments?

the narrator was slow of speach and not very engaging - but the story was very interesting and I got used to the narration after a while.

An Astounding Performance !

Revisado: 03-12-15

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Fahrenheit 451 was meant to be read out loud. If you could never get into reading this book, have a listen. The magic is in the performance.
