All over the place

Revisado: 03-28-24

I love the narrators voice but she didn’t pause at punctuation so it sounded like AI a lot of the time which was really distracting. The narrator just ran through sentences as tho periods didn’t exist. The story was all over the place and the incantations were a bit much for me with the “say this rhyming thing”. The book was meh.

Best narrator

Revisado: 03-20-24

Loved this book and narrator, I hope the narrator reads more books- her characters were spot on and her voice was soothing to listen to.

So brilliant I didn’t understand 1/2 of it

Revisado: 12-20-23

It took me almost a year to get through this and I still need to listen again because there’s so much I didn’t get. I think part of it is all the people and the French / German / other words and phrases. The thing is, I’ve read extensively on both Joyce and this time period - Sylvia beach, the lesbian movement that supported Joyce and other artists. Etc. I still got massively lost with all the people I didn’t know which made it hard to follow. I feel like I need to research in order to read this. That said, it doesn’t take away from the content and performance which are 5 stars. I just need to figure out who all these people are so I can follow.

The ending sting

Revisado: 12-18-23

Well written, well developed. What was the point of the ending tho? I just didn’t get it, clearly the author had a point to it but it was lost on me. It’s like running up to a cliff and then….

Enjoyed

Revisado: 11-19-23

I never write reviews but feel inclined to as so many people have left bad reviews. I wonder how many leaving bad reviews are just not capable of following stories anymore, especially if they aren’t perfectly linear. As a high school teacher, I find this the case with many of my students. Lacking the capacity to follow a story or to envision what’s happening doesn’t mean something sucks or is deserving of a bad review. Perhaps working on how to read or listen is a worthwhile endeavor. Not that everyone will like this book, but it does bug me when people leave bad reviews not because the material was bad but because they lack the capacity to follow the story. I found this well worth my time.

Meh

Revisado: 04-13-23

I don’t really get what this was about. I love astrology and everything “witchy” but this book didn’t make any sense at all. I usually follow even difficult to follow books but this one was just so random. I leave it a score of “meh” - and I’m glad it was free as an audible member.

One of my favorites

Revisado: 05-18-22

This has been one of my favorite audio books. Julia is an amazing narrator and I have been seeking out books that she reads. Her voice is lovely to listen to and the way she reads the characters is positively amazing. As for the story - there was something about it that I just loved. The story line was, in some ways, not a story line. It wasn't about anything and was about everything. It was about life. It was so easy to press play every time I was in the car, or on a walk. I loved the character development. Most of all, I loved the way the story was about how we find the people that we keep and those who keep us. The people who are willing to look at us with all of our flaws, our parts and pieces - the ways they can really know us, and choose to stay. If life is about being ourselves and finding acceptance, this book beautifully weaves a life that is meaningful and worthwhile. I really really enjoyed id.

Loved it

Revisado: 09-13-18

I really loved this book. I have watched the series and it was worth listening to the book because there were many differences, but it can also be nice to use the imagination to follow a story and develop characters. The narration was on point and it was a joy to listen to. On to book 2!
