Narration missing from Chapter 16? Poor pronunciation. Anachronistic tone.

There appears to be narration missing from Chapter 16 at 12:05. If not, then the splicing of the audio at that point is very jarring and poorly done. Additionally, the numerous mispronunciations of common words cause me to give the performance a low review.

Concerning the story itself, I was rather put off by the anachronistic tone of the writing. Neither Emily nor Washington Roebling sound similar to dialogue written by late 19th century writers, in terms of vocabulary or attitudes.

Action-packed entertainment with predictable and trite dialogue and character development. It would probably make a good Hollywood movie.

The reviewers that claim that this is just a collection of short stories are like the clueless tourists in this book that merely seek to be entertained and completely miss the point of every single story in the book. Are The Decameron and The Canterbury Tales just collections of short stories? Similar to these famous books, every single story in The Grand Hotel not only seeks to entertain, but also is directed toward an understanding of human nature. I congratulate the author on a surprisingly good novel in the Gothic vein.

I'm a bit sad it was so good, since now I must buy the next one. Definitely better than many Scalzi books I've read. Warning: it contains strong language and explicit sexual content.

Easy to listen to with excellent narration, and overall an entertaining book. This is a multi-generational African-American family drama set across time, which has only a nominal amount of superhero elements to it. It could have been longer and delved into certain aspects more, but this just reflects how well the book spurred my interest in the characters. It would be a good book club pick.

Faster than light particles send warning messages to the past. Good treatment of paradoxes caused.

Was afraid it would be some hokey new age BS, but was actually very thoughtful&insightful.

Don't waste your free April credit on this. Good performers, but the story isn't worth the trouble.

Sanderson continues and deepens his detailed fantasy world creation. Hint: listen to the end credits first for Jasnah's notes concerning the various types of surge binding.
