I enjoyed it

Revisado: 06-17-23

If I had been expecting a coherent narrative, I might have been as angry as some of the other reviewers. But someone gave me good advice - don’t try to understand, just let it flow over you like music - and so I really loved the experience.

Personally, I really enjoyed it.

Revisado: 06-11-23

While I understand how some other reviewers might have found it a bit dense, I really enjoyed it. I especially enjoyed the author's effort to put the reader in the headspace of people of the time period.

Delightful

Revisado: 05-21-21

Most pleasing novel I’ve read/listened to in a very long time. I highly recommend for anyone who likes classic SF with strong character development

Lovely collection of Creeping Dread

Revisado: 09-08-18

If you like understated historically set horror or psychological thrillers, you'll really enjoy this collection. The narrators are perfect for the stories. I just wish it were twice as long.

Gorgeous Collection of Sexy Stories

This is a delicious collection of beautifully written erotic short stories, read with a twinkle in the eye by the fabulous Rose Caraway. Outstanding. Well worth your credit!

Nothing I Didn't Already Know

Revisado: 09-21-17

There weren't a lot of revelations or surprises in this book for me, but perhaps I shouldn't have expected any. Hillary Clinton shows herself to be a warm, funny, imperfect and very human person. She's an excellent reader and I appreciated the intimacy of hearing her voice read this. Bitter, wistful, incisive.

I think this might have been engrossing but...

Revisado: 09-21-17

The narrator was truly awful. He has a repetitive, predictable pattern to the tonality of his reading that began to drive me crazy. I couldn't finish the book even though I was intrigued by the plot and the characters.

Really Horrific Plot, Mediocre Writing

Revisado: 01-28-17

If you enjoy psychological horror, this book really fits the bill. The premise and plotting is superb and really chilling. The writing is what needs work. S.E. England would benefit greatly from a better editor.

Compelling mystery in a rich setting

Revisado: 08-14-16

Set in colonial Calcutta just after WWI, this is a very fertile setting for a creditably woven mystery. I found the detective character a little conveniently stupid for plotting purposes, but engaging nonetheless. I wouldn't say the actual mystery itself is all that surprising, but the setting and characters - especially the secondary characters - make up for it. If you like detective fiction in interesting and fresh historical settings, you'll really enjoy this.

Outstanding history of US involvement

Revisado: 05-12-16

Any presidential candidate who cares to make wise decisions in the Middle East should have this book on their nightstand.

Sadly, none of them will.
