Good for someone totally unfamiliar with PARA

Revisado: 08-02-24

I liked some of the discussion of implementing PARA, but there was so little of it! Way too much time saying how great PARA is, and too little on implementation and issues that might come up. I guess PARA is pretty simple but I was hoping for new insights vs a high level bare bones on what it is.

Narrator was hard to listen to

Revisado: 03-07-22

This narrator has a cute voice and did well on the various character voices. However, her inflection and emphasis on certain words was so inappropriate for the story that it was hard to listen. She would consistently pronounce I said or he said type phrases as though they were complete new thoughts with exciting new information. There were also other various sentences where the emphasis did not reflect the sense of the sentence. If she can stop inflecting the i saids that way and do a better job of matching her inflection to the sentence meaning I think she could be a good narrator. As it is, I’m going to try to return the book.

Loved the book

Revisado: 08-21-18

I was a little frustrated by some of the voices that were unpleasant to listen to. Perseverance had a lovely voice as did Fitz. But every royal had a quality I associate with a querulous, haughty, and overly fastidious old person, who looks down his or her nose at everything and everyone. This did not mesh with the personalities of the characters. In addition, there were quite a few very nasal voices such as Lant and Rain was painful to hear. Worst of all was the Fool sounding like a villain in a B movie. Cringeworthy and again seemed to me out of place. The Fool lived many years including much of his childhood in Buck, and was able to slip convincingly into one role after another so why the inability to pronounce so many letters? Painful to hear. On a minor note, I would have also appreciated a little more consistency with prior books as to pronunciation of names.
