Best of the First 4 Brunetti Mysteries

Revisado: 11-29-18

Suggest reading this series in order because each book further develops the main/central/ongoing characters and sometimes refers to events in previous novels, which adds to the enjoyment of those wanting to read the series.

A Fun Easy Listen

Revisado: 11-06-18

I have wanted to read/listen to the book for years. Perhaps the fact that it is a period piece is what added to my enjoyment. I always have several books going at the same time, and may require concentration and/or attention. This, on the other hand, is the type of audiobook you can lean back, close your eyes and enjoy. The narration was excellent and suited the style of the book. I am looking forward to reading the sequel at some point.

Narrator Makes This Book

Revisado: 07-21-18

I recently finished Hemingway's "The Sun Also Rises," so I thought I would go ahead and read this book. I thought it was a novel, but not at all, rather a study on bullfighting. Reading the book as text was laborious, and I am certain I would have stopped after the first few chapters. Fortunately, I had the Audible version! I didn't realize until the credits that the narrator was Boyd Gaines, a well-respected Broadway actor. Mr. Gaines excellent narration managed to make a dry book interesting.

Excellent Recording of the Stage Play

I saw Julie Harris perform this one-woman show at the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, almost 30 years ago, but I just discovered the audio version not long ago. y.

Good, But Would Be Better With Guide/Script

Revisado: 05-19-14

What made the experience of listening to 2000 russkih slov [2000 Russian Words] the most enjoyable?

The speaker's pronunciation is very clear and repeats the words or phrases twice. The amount of vocabulary for each topic is fairly extensive.

Would you recommend 2000 russkih slov [2000 Russian Words] to your friends? Why or why not?

I would recommend this audio book to intermediate or advanced students of Russian. The principal concerns: (1) there is no accompanying PDF with the text to follow along, so unless you have a fairly good command of Russian phonology you would not be able to write down the words that you want to remember with the correct spelling. (2) Without a PDF guide, you have now idea which topics are presented nor where they are on the file.

What does Eugene Tarasov bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Very good pronunciation/diction.
