Fool Me

Revisado: 07-22-14

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. I prefer books with credible endings.

Have you listened to any of Joe Barrett’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

The narration is very satisfying.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

I was disappointed. I returned book 1 because it had no ending what-so-ever and attempted this one, book two, because of the overwhelming positive reviews. That was where i was fooled twice. No credible ending. I am done with this series.

Fell short of five stars

Revisado: 09-13-12

Where does In the Shadow of the Banyan rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

All the good things written about this book have great substance. My slight disappointment was only in the fact that there was room to show and tell much, much more depth of the atrocities and horror perpetrated by the Khmer Rouge.

Entertaining

Revisado: 03-12-12

Spenser novels are not great literature, but they can be entertaining. I've always enjoyed narration by Michael Prichard and for me, there is a comfort in hearing his familiar voice.

Not up to Par

Revisado: 03-02-12

Quite a disappointment in that this book didn't even come close to the level of THE HUMMINGBIRD'S DAUGHTER, neither in content or quality of writing.

Terrific Story Teller

Revisado: 12-19-11

Laura Hillenbrand is one great story teller. This rates as one of the best all around books that I have ever read. To those who thought the ending was too good to be true, this was a NON-Fiction book. This stuff really happened

Not What I Expected

Revisado: 12-02-11

While I enjoyed this book, I expected more in respect to the "Time Travel" aspect of it. It's my high expectations that caused me to give it 3 stars rather than 4.

Don't Waste Your Time

Revisado: 01-07-10

This book proves the case that some reads are far better abridged, than unabridged. This one needs to be SUPER-abridged. Repetitious, boring, tedious, rambling and, did I mention, repetitious and rambling? In the end, too many unanswered questions to situations mentioned over and over in the book, but never explained. Also, time travel can be a tricky thing, but at the very end of the book, the use of a “locator” has to be the icing on the cake. They didn’t have satellites back in 1348 to my knowledge. Two stars would be too generous.

Enjoyable material

Revisado: 09-11-07

While I enjoyed the book, I almost gave up on it in the first 1/4 as I could not stand the quality of the reader.

Oops !

Revisado: 05-24-07

While completely enjoyable, I had some problems with the aspects of time travel that, in my feeble mind, cannot exist.
