Little House on the Prairie

Very different but worth a listen

Revisado: 10-24-22

Written more like a romance novel, this will probably appeal more to women than men. I like that Ian Fleming went outside the box and wrote a book from the perspective of the Bond girl. It captures the whirlwind of the cold hearted spy coming to the rescue of a pretty naive woman and what that looks like through her eyes. I’m in the process of listening to them all in order and, while it is not my favorite of the Bond books, it is definitely worth listening to.

Wish I hadn’t bothered

Revisado: 04-08-22

The narrator is great. No problems with his talent. The 3 stories were just ok. Not terribly realistic and a little too “manly” for me. Plenty of sex and cocaine in the first 2 stories. The second story was a waste of time. The third (Legends of the Fall) was the best of the 3 but still not that great. I didn’t like any of the main characters in any of the stories. They were all jerks. I was glad when it was over.

Awesome book and narration!

Love this book! So clever and well thought out. The narration is fabulous. The movie is really good too and almost perfectly follows the book.

A great sequel!

Revisado: 02-11-22

This book is so good! I rarely see a book or movie sequel that is as good as the first but this is the exception. Very funny and creative! I loved it!

Not quite like the book

Revisado: 02-11-22

The abbreviated storyline is there but it’s like any book that has been turned into a movie - it’s got added sex and drama to appeal to the masses. There is so much added sex in this dramatization that I was rolling my eyes at how ludicrous it was. The actual book has no blatant sex. You have to read between the lines and look hard to find it. The actors did a great job. I have no complaint on that part. I would suggest listening to the actual book though if you want the actual story.

Not great

Revisado: 12-17-21

The characters are well developed, the plot had promise and there were a couole unexpected twists, but it was so unrealistic that I was rolling my eyes half the time. Plus the sex scenes are way too explicit for my taste. The reader needed more variation to differentiate the characters and his British accents sometimes sounded Chinese or non-existent. Plus he didn’t pause between scenes which can be confusing. Not the worst book I’ve ever listened to but certainly not the best.

Good book but it wasn’t great

Revisado: 10-19-21

I really wanted to agree with most of the world that War and Peace is the best book ever written, but I can’t. It was good for sure but I have read many other classics that are much more interesting and entertaining (Count of Monte Cristo, Gone with the Wind, Great Expectations to name a few). Tolstoy definitely has a gift for words and detail that brought to life the innermost thoughts and mannerisms of the characters. I really felt like I could picture their expression and experience their emotion. But the story was often lacking in interest. I was only gripped to the core a handful of times which isn’t a lot for 60 hours! I thought the narrator did a wonderful job. The voices were varied enough to know who they were. I think he really captured Pierre the best. I would still recommend everyone to read/listen to this book, I just can’t say it’s the best of all time.

Very insightful

Revisado: 04-28-21

A lot of information packed into an eye opening book about being aware and prepared for the coming communism in America. The narrator did an excellent job with all the difficult names and phrases. I think I would have preferred reading the actual book since there was so much I wanted to highlight and review again. But listening to it was good enough for now.

It’s just ok

I loved Anne of Green Gables narrated by Rachel McAdams but this story and narration left me feeling blah. I didn’t care for the story line and didn’t really like any of the characters, even Anne. It could have been the way the narrator portrayed them or it could just be that the sequel wasn’t very good. But either way, I was disappointed.

Narrator portrayed Anne perfectly

Revisado: 03-04-21

The narrator was awesome at capturing Anne’s spirit, enthusiasm and personality. It’s true that the other characters were a little flat and didn’t vary much, but it wasn’t difficult at all to follow who was speaking. It was more important to me that Anne was narrated well because she is the main character and has such a vivacious personality. I wouldn’t listen to any other version!
