What a beautiful reminder

Revisado: 10-11-19

It’s been a long time since I cried and laughed simultaneously. This is one of the best fiction audible originals so far. A bit melodramatic, but such a beautiful story with an impressive and hilarious performance. Having been a bit of a (less fabulous) Leonard myself it certainly hit home, and led to floods of tears whilst driving. I am certainly going to remember the moral of this story.

Incredible story, great performance

Revisado: 09-19-19

I’d already read the paperback, and thought it was the best book I’d read all year- now that I’ve listened to the audiobook I can honestly say it’s one of the best audio performances as well. David is amazing as Patroclus, and brings the story to life- will probably listen to it again right away!

Amazing

Such a fantastic story, and the narrator and cast bring it all to life. Have listened to it several times now!

Different enough to stand alone, but the same delight to hear

Revisado: 10-11-18

I loved “the Gentleman’s Guide” and couldn’t wait for the second book. It took me a while to adjust to a story about Felicity (after falling so deeply in love with Monty and Percy) but very quickly was drawn in and didn’t mind anymore.
Yes, I missed the sexual tension between the boys, but the new adventure story (similar story arc) had me hooked, and I finished it in no time flat. Hurrah to Mackenzi Lee and the ability to create such funny and meaningful characters. When is #3 coming out???

Wrongly cast narrator

Revisado: 09-20-18

Ug. I’d really liked Book one of this series, the narrator was wonderful and made the story and all of the characters come to life. I immediately downloaded Merlin without listening to the sample- huge mistake! He sounds like an out of work Shakespearean actor, and far too obnoxious to read a whole novel. What’s worse, his other characters were laughably bad- I could swear that the Hill folk were from China, and most other characters seemed to inexplicably have Indian accents. The book itself wasn’t as good as the first, but hard to tell with such a miscast voice as narrator. Get the hard copy instead!

A fantastic listen

Revisado: 08-19-18

I absolutely adored this book/audiobook. It popped up as a suggestion, I was intrigued and downloaded it. It’s been ages since I enjoyed both the story and the performance this much...I actually listened to it in one very long workday. Can’t recommend enough, and wished it were twice as long. Here’s hoping we hear further stories of dear Henry and Percy.

Cracking novel

Revisado: 09-28-17

Can't tell you how addicted I was to this-
I'm an artist, so audiobooks are my savior...but this narrator is the best I've ever heard- believable and varied without being hokey.
A client had put me off the Goldfinch, after loving Secret History so much...but I decided to give it a try.
Jesus Mary and Joseph- so glad I did. What a phenomenal book, and what an amazing narrator. Literally surpassed any other sort of outside stimuli (books, tv, food) until it was finished. Wow- so impressed. Read. It. Now.
