Very Imaginative!

Revisado: 03-10-18

I really enjoyed this book because it was very imaginative and unpredictable. I liked the progression between generations of people. What I also thought was great was the use of science throughout the story.

Depends on What Amuses You...

Revisado: 11-30-14

What would have made Everything Is Illuminated better?

If the writer had built the story more in the beginning, it would have held my interest more.

What could Jonathan Safran Foer have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Sometimes, the humor in this book is a bit crude and that doesn't appeal to me. If those kinds of jokes would have been left out, I would have enjoyed the book more. As it was written, I had an automatic reflex to turn it off when those jokes started happening.

What about Jeff Woodman and Scott Shina ’s performance did you like?

I think that the vocal performances were very good. Nice portrayal of foreign accents.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

I think if I had been able to stick with it past the first few chapters, I might have liked it. As it was, I was just too turned off by the bad jokes to continue with it.

Well Researched History

Revisado: 07-11-14

Would you consider the audio edition of 11-22-63 to be better than the print version?

I haven't looked at the print version. The book is long though. I think the audio version is easier to make it through

What other book might you compare 11-22-63 to and why?

I would compare it to The Man in the High Castle which is another historical fiction book. The Man in the High Castle takes place in an alternate history of World War II. I think the Stephen King book is a lot better though because the characters are easier to identify with.

What about Craig Wasson’s performance did you like?

Craig Wasson did a really great job of portraying emotion and giving authentic voices to each character.

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

Historical Fiction

Any additional comments?

I think this book was impressively researched. It was very thought provoking. There was some violence in it but it was well connected to the story.
