A Very Graceful Fatal Grace

Revisado: 11-13-12

These stories are compelling! Inspector Gamache is my new hero. I love him and I love Three Pines. My only complaint is the language.

The Best so Far - even if it only book 2!

Revisado: 11-06-12

"My Dearest Peabody!" and her husband Radcliffe are again off on another excavation to preserve the antiquities of the ancient Egyptians while fighting off knives, poisons, visions in white and their own desperate care and love for each other - which creates dangerous situations as well. I cried and laughed - "He had a headache!!" And I thoroughly enjoyed this book - can't wait for more adventures!

Again, a masterpiece

Revisado: 10-23-12

Another beautifully written and masterfully narrated novel of a time long ago when men were good and wanted to be good and how they stayed good when other men were bad.

Winter or summer garden...your choice!

Revisado: 09-17-12

If you could sum up Winter Garden in three words, what would they be?

We are family

Which character – as performed by Susan Ericksen – was your favorite?

Mom - her voice was a crisp and clean as were her actions.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I mourned...and rejoiced. I did not know much about the Siege of Leningrad and often found myself cold and shivering during the telling of the "fairy tale." I realized we are all a part of the family that has gone before us - whether we want to admit it or not.

This book is not headed for "oblivion!"

Revisado: 09-17-12

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Everyone with cancer...or not...young or old should read this book. I am currently surviving cancer and so many thoughts I could not express showed up in this book. The metaphor of the grenade was sadly so true. I cried and laughed and cried again. Oh, the sweetness of love and the bitterness of loss. This will become one of my all-time favorite books.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Augustus - a true teenager - madly in love, wanting to leave a legacy and make a difference, and figuring out how to deal with his own mortality.

What about Kate Rudd’s performance did you like?

I can't forget "Hazel Grace." Kate could talk like a teen-ager and still sound parental when needed.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

The Fault In Our Stars - but not in our dreams.

Truly Sweetness

Revisado: 09-17-12

Would you listen to The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie again? Why?

Yes - just to hear "Flavia, Flavia, Flavia!!" And because Flavia is a delight to know.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie?

When Flavia begins to see the pain in her Father.

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

No, but this one is superb - will buy the others.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes - and I did...almost

Any additional comments?

Recommended to me by a quilting friend who listens to these books while she sews and quilts. I am hooked now as well.

Thoughtful, delightful

Revisado: 09-04-12

What did you love best about The Clue of the New Shoe?

The characters, their honesty, their humanness, their lives

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

I enjoyed being inside Boney's head and listening to his reasonings.

What about Peter Hosking’s performance did you like?

The accent for each character - I truly could tell which person was speaking by the way Peter was talking and it was easy to distinguish them.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

SPOIL ALERT - When the wife confessed her small part in the deed and her husband put his crippled hands on her head...and then Boney's resolution to the matter. I truly loved him.

Any additional comments?

No ugly violence, no awful swear words - just pure entertainment, mystery and real life. I will download more of these.

Stunned

Revisado: 09-04-12

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

You bet! This book has totally changed the way I communicate with others and I feel so much more connected to people. I am deliberately removing the word "no" from my vocabulary and I have chosen the word "calm" as my word. I repeat it over and over at night when I can't sleep sometimes. Just saying the word, spelling it out and repeating it over and over changes my heart beat and changes my thinking.

Have you listened to any of Mark Robert Waldman’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

The power of "NO."

Any additional comments?

I just want to know who will use their compassionate listening skills on me. I need to talk sometimes, too.
