A joy to listen

Revisado: 05-13-22

As it turns out not only is Nicholas Ralph an amazing actor , but he's also a phenomenal narrator as well . His ability to mimick the voices of Tristan , and Siegfried ( in the PBS tv show ) is uncanny . There is nothing dull whatsoever about his narrating style . Not only are the characters voices well read ,but Nicholas also reads with such a passion that it is more like a radio drama than an audiobook . I could go on all day about his narration , but alas I have yet to speak of the book itself , so enough gushing for now .

James writes with such colorful vividness that one almost feels as if they are standing right beside him watching in awe as he delivers a calf . There's a kind of magic and wonder about All Creatures Great and Small , that I've never encountered before . It's no wonder that people have such a love for it . I'm not at all what you could call a scientific or medical person , but James passion for animals and his optimism are so contagious .

It was such a joy to experience Yorkshire and the people who live there through James' eyes . James is so full of passion , and kindness , there's an honest charm about him . I so enjoyed the way he wrote the characters of the Farnon brothers , Siegfried and Tristan , there's a hilarity about the pair , the way they argue , and the way that they just ...are . I quite often found myself grinning foolishly and laughing boistrously aloud while listening at work . Listening over the past two weeks has brought me so much joy . I often find myself looking at the world around me and seeing a bit more magic in what once seemed ordinary .

Main character is unbearable and self absorbed

Revisado: 05-07-21

I was unable to finish this for two reasons , one the unbearably self absorbed main character. She's too modern for classic literature ...she bemoans her relation to the Bronte sisters , and whenever she's speaks to some she automatically assumes that all anyone cares is about is asking about her famous relatives . Also for some reason she decides to major in English lit , which she clearly hates . After about half an hour of this I wanted to tear my hair out .
Secondly the story just dragged on with few truly important scenes . All we want to know about is the mystery not Sammy being a self obsessed brat ! 🤦😬🙄

Demon ruined the entire story .

Revisado: 09-15-20

The author mispronounced Daemons name as DEMON the entire time . Honestly , I couldn't agree more . Demon was a jerk , a creep , and a pervert . Making sexual comments to someone is harassment . He also for some reason thinks wearing a shirt is uncessary accessory . Well guess what sweetheart ,having a shredded six pack for no bloody reason is nothing unusual for a male lead in YA or smutty romances .So SURPRISE you're nothing special !!
Needless to say if your body is your only good quality, I'm not impressed .

Boring as heck

Revisado: 03-11-20

I'm at least five chapters in and NOTHING HAS HAPPENED I get that she's not allowed to do anything ,but I don't really want to hear endless internal dialogue about HOW HOT THE NEW ROBOT GIRL IS and how attracted the new robot is to THE HOT DUDE that takes care of her . I have better things to do with my time .
