Sappy story, monotonous reader

Revisado: 12-28-24

Story is heavy on family melodrama — boring. Reader is monotone & plodding. Can’t believe I stuck with it

Cloying & not a mystery in sight

Revisado: 12-14-24

If you’re looking for another charming mystery story, don’t waste your money. BUT, if you like mind-numbing, sugary romance where the bare-chested “hero” jumps up and down in his living room like an 8-year-old, you’re in the right place. The reader is excellent, as always. Here’s hoping she gets to perform a real story next time.

More, please!

Revisado: 12-14-24

This was delightful. Dinklage is outstanding (as per usual), and the rest of the cast was fantastic, too. Please make more with these talented people.
MISOPHONIA ALERT: Anyone suffering should be prepared to mute or FF the beginning of Chapter 2. Eating noises. Note to producers: these noises are extremely disturbing to people who suffer from this condition. Best avoided.

Will Patton reading Charles Frazier is 🤩

Revisado: 12-13-24

Love Charles Frazier’s imagination and his arrangement of words. Add Patton reading and it’s absolutely perfect. Thanks, fellas.

Music nearly ruined it

Revisado: 07-30-24

Liked the story & the reading, but the music was awful. Inappropriate, too loud, intrusive. Almost made me stop listening

Best ever collection of SK short stories + Will Patton = ❤️

Revisado: 06-26-24

Not a clunker among these stories. Every single one is rich from start to finish. And no one reads better than Will Patton. I’ll have this on repeat because he is simply the best. Thanks, fellas.

If misogyny were a dog….

Revisado: 05-24-24

There isn’t even a hint of a redeeming female character in this book. His daughter? Nope. She’s a pawn. Big eyeroll.

Gave up

Revisado: 03-27-24

Hours into this and had to stop. The story is so slow. And the reader is awful. His American accent sounds like a Phil Hartman parody. Disappointed

Another wonderful story from AP

Revisado: 08-23-23

Looked forward to this for months and was not disappointed.

And to find Meryl Streep narrated it was a lovely surprise!

Thoroughly enjoyable. Vivid scenes, engaging stories, and beautiful dialogue.

Torturous story & performance

Revisado: 08-13-23

Usually when there’s no mystery, you get to enjoy the chase as the protagonist finally catches the killer. Not here. No chase. No protagonists to speak of. Nothing to enjoy.

You know early on who did it, and the rest of the story is just hours of juvenile angst leading up to a absolutely nothing. Rife with misogyny, and the expected tropes that accompany it, there’s no chance you’ll like any of the characters. Miranda whines start to finish. So does Jeff. Alex, Jamie and Sara have no role in the story at all. All of them could be cut and it would have zero impact on the novel. The bit with the ring is supposed to be some shocking confirmation for Miranda, but we already know that’s coming; it was telegraphed early on. Plus, Miranda has gone from whiner, to dummy, to hopeless drunk & the only shock is that she’s shocked. And the fact that the writer gave her ONE, wholly ridiculous thing to say in that moment and had her repeat it 14 times is all you need to know about the creativity employed in this story.

The performance of Jeff’s sections was just hours of failed attempts at sarcasm and emotion. It was like listening to a teenager whine about everything for 10 hours. Torture.

Don’t waste your time.
