Sad but wonderful story.

Revisado: 12-16-23

Rhys Bowen always presents a realistic portrayal with enough detail to understand the story, but manages it with an appropriate amount of restraint. I don’t need the intimate, gruesome details of a rape to appreciate the horror. Ms. Bowen is adept at telling a meaningful story with a sensitive touch. She is definitely one of my favorite authors.

Predictable but fun.

You know from the beginning that the characters will end up together but it's an entertaining listen.

This is not for beginners

Revisado: 12-05-16

What disappointed you about Spanish Short Stories for Beginners, Volume 2?

This is very difficult to follow and there is no help or references.

What could Olly Richards have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

It would be nice to have a written book to refer to and/or an english synopsis of the stories in case the listener was having difficulty understand. My spanish professor
warned me and she was right.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Susana Larraz?

Narrator was fine.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Spanish Short Stories for Beginners, Volume 2?

I didn't understand enough to be able to comment on this.

Performer needs to learn to pronounce Nevada correctly

Revisado: 08-03-16

When the majority of the story takes place in Nevada, you would think someone would make certain the pronunciation was correct. Listening to the narrator pronouncing my home state was like fingernails on a chalkboard. Otherwise it was fine.

Entertaining but....

Would you consider the audio edition of Mulberry Bush to be better than the print version?

There were several mispronunciations that I found distracting. Oregon is Ory-gun NOT Ory-gone.

Could have been great.

Is there anything you would change about this book?

It got a little far-fetched. I love the stories of a women being down but recovering against the odds. I loved the parts about baking bread, taking care of honey bees and fishing but when it got into the crazy wild gazillionaire and the Star Wars wedding I lost interest. I also didn't like the narrator's southern accent. It's a book. I would rather listen to the same voice than a bad attempt to sound like a man, or worse a southern man.

Would you recommend Little Beach Street Bakery to your friends? Why or why not?

No. Because of the above comments.

Would you be willing to try another one of Veida Dehmlow’s performances?

Maybe.

Did Little Beach Street Bakery inspire you to do anything?

Bake bread. I just finished making my 4th loaf. :)

Nice story

Revisado: 08-08-15

I love gardening, overcoming obstacles and British accents. This novel provided all three. Easy listening.
