Unfinishable

Revisado: 04-28-24

Terrible dialogue between Lucas and Virgil. Goofy and unfunny, not sophisticated or serious. Impossible to recognize them from previous books. Agree with other reviewers that it feels like this was not actually written by Sandford.

Couldn’t finish. Terrible narration.

Revisado: 07-29-23

Confusing and boring to listen to because of lacklustre narration. Gave up on it. Possibly a great story but impossible to tell in audio format with this narrator.

Ruined by narration.

Revisado: 05-08-22

Ridiculously irritating narration ruined this book for me. Too bad because I usually enjoy this author’s work.

Irritating music

Revisado: 08-23-19

This is a great book and a good performance but the periodic jazz riffs are truly awful and ear grating.

This book is a rip-off

Revisado: 02-20-16

Would you try another book from James Dalessandro and/or Kevin Pierce?

Kevin Pierce is a pro. But James Dalessandro hoodwinked true crime fans with this title, so no, I'd steer clear of his books.

What could James Dalessandro have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

He could have not left 75% of the story out of the book. Seriously, he covered the entire trial in about 3 paragraphs! I thought my app had skipped over 15 chapters of testimony, but nope! The author just decided to wrap it up in the quickest summary you've ever read. The detailed lead-up to the trial is well done, but then BOOM we are in the epilogue!?! I felt like the author decided to publish his half-finished manuscript. Seasoned true crime readers will be very disappointed with this book which utterly fails to live up to expectations for the genre.

What about Kevin Pierce’s performance did you like?

Kevin Pierce could read recipes or the classifieds and make them sound intriguing. He's amazing.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disappointing for sure.

Any additional comments?

Buyer beware. Avoid this book.

Beautiful story, fabulous narration, 5 stars

Would you listen to Missing Mom: A True Crime, True Family Story again? Why?

I so enjoy Kevin Pierce's performances, I am likely to dust this off and re-listen to it in a few years.

What did you like best about this story?

The narration. Besides that, this is just a beautifully-written book, well told. A wonderful listen, full of rich description and thoughtful reflections on a memorable and bittersweet story. The book is informative, and delivers procedural details without getting mired in them, while also providing enough context to ensure that those persons involved were developed as fully human -- helping the reader to empathize.

Which character – as performed by Kevin Pierce – was your favorite?

All of them. Pierce is such a pro. Never over-acts. Clearly differentiates the characters. Brilliant delivery. I am such a shameless fan.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The epilogue. Full of hope and new beginnings. Such a brave family, and the author in particular was genuinely inspiring. Won't say more to avoid spoilers.

Any additional comments?

I have grown to trust and enjoy Mr. Pierce's true crime productions so much that as soon as he releases one I immediately buy it without even reading the full book description. As an Audible client with hundreds of titles who achieved the "master" level of listening hours long ago, I've sampled many narrators with various levels of talent and lack thereof. Mr. Pierce is my #1 favorite actor of all time, and any author would be *beyond* lucky to sign him.

Listened straight through, cover to cover!

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

Absolutely. A fantastic gift, so inspirational, so honest and funny.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Ms. Gilbert was my favorite character. She was revealed as deeply human.

What about Elizabeth Gilbert’s performance did you like?

Everything. The reading was flawless. Shockingly great performance. Ms Gilbert is not only a world class writer, but a truly gifted actress too.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I did. Hour upon hour, I binged through this book. I own over a hundred audiobooks and have never done that before. This book is something special.

Any additional comments?

Thinking about buying this book but not sure? Take the plunge, you'll be so glad you did. A gift to your creative self. Leaves you feeling smarter, calmer, motivated.

Great narrator!

Would you consider the audio edition of Then No One Can Have Her to be better than the print version?

Absolutely, Callie Beaulieu is a fantastic narrator.

Which character – as performed by Callie Beaulieu – was your favorite?

Somehow this narrator just knows how to bring each character to life in a unique way. It's quite amazing, her talent for personifying without overacting these various parts.

Any additional comments?

This narrator is just pitch perfect for true crime, mystery, thrillers. I would buy anything she narrates in those genres. Fantastic job, thank you.

Great story, awesome narration

Revisado: 08-26-15

Any additional comments?

Top notch audiobook tells a compelling story that speeds along without getting bogged down in background. Clear and crisp pronunciation by the narrator, not overly dramatized, overall just a pleasure to listen to. I hope that Kim Houston collaborates on the production of many more audio titles!

Almost impossible to listen to.

Revisado: 11-05-14

What disappointed you about Creativity, Inc.?

The worst delivery imaginable. What a total disappointment. Such a great story, and such a terrible performance. Even a few minutes is difficult to get through, the voiceover is so affected and exaggerated and distracting. Awful stuff.

Would you be willing to try another one of Peter Altschuler’s performances?

Never. Ever.

Any additional comments?

Buy the digital or paper book, skip the audio edition.
