Excellent

Revisado: 06-22-07

So genuine that it hews more closely to autobiographical than fictional. A great clash-of-worlds story, with one lovely but doomed child caught in the middle. I felt that it didn't read like a general indictment of the rich but more like a cathartic examination of real-life events.

Kathe Mazur was a fantastic narrator. She was able to produce a distinctive range of voices so that I knew who was speaking at any given time. She even did a good UK accent. I thought she brought the story to life.

Thoroughly Enjoyable!

Revisado: 04-18-05

Having seen David Suchet in some of the recent TV series based on the books, I was intrigued to see that he was the narrator for this one.

I found him very enjoyable to listen to, especially his accented voice so recognisable as his screen alter-ego's. It was inspired to recruit his services.

I fervently hope that further David Suchet-narrated Agatha Christies will become available at Audible.com!

It's a Community, People

Revisado: 04-17-05

If you listen to this show and it doesn't appeal to you, then you've missed the point. It's about a community of people, a real social event. Dry tech matter is not what is interesting to these people. Broad issues and interaction are what is important.

I thoroughly enjoy my 2 1/2 hours every week and feel part of something bigger than my own little world.

Some Genuine Laughs

Revisado: 10-05-04

I wanted a bit of light humour, so I thought I'd give this book a try. I've been leery of dramatised books, but this title proves that they have merit.

I like this type of humour. I could describe it as "audio slapstick". Some moments are sheer non sequitur, which unbalances my train of thought and causes some sharp laughs. The accents are engaging. I'm reminded of <i>The Maltese Falcon</i> and <i>Who Framed Roger Rabbit?</i> The half-hour format is useful, as I can listen to one on my way to work and when I go home, I'm not picking up in the middle of anything.

Overall, an unexpected pleasure.

Captures Spirit of the Golden Age

Revisado: 05-27-04

I've got the paper book collection of these stories. They embody the spirit of the Golden Age of Science Fiction. Hearing this story dramatised gave a very enjoyable, new dimension to the work. I've been reluctant to get into dramatisations, but this story is dear to me and thus I tried it and have discovered a new field of entertainment.

In particular, I liked the voice of the actor playing Ole Doc. His drawl transported me back to an earlier age. It was perfect.

Well Worth it

Revisado: 10-14-03

The fact that the author narrates this book makes it special. I have to admit that I laughed more by reading the book than by listening to this, but it was thoroughly enjoyable in a different way and well worth buying. On the strength of this, I just have to get the remaining books of the trilogy.
