Bring back Bathurst!

Revisado: 10-31-24

Having a hard time listening to the new guy!
Hard to distinguish between characters. Gamache is missing his characteristic warmth. I give him credit for his French pronunciation, but nothing else. I remember when Bathurst took over from his predecessor. He was different, but outstanding in his own right. Not so much this new guy.

Another winner

Revisado: 08-30-19

Another spellbinder. Could not wait to finish, hated to see it end. Can't wait for the next one.

innocuous,

Revisado: 08-22-19

innocuous, almost boring, the story just sort of meanders, the characters not developed enough to approach believable.

Hard to get to the end

Revisado: 06-29-18

Dennis Quaid is a horrible reader. The story was just barely interesting enough for me to persevere.

I think I'm done with this series.

Revisado: 05-24-18

it was all I could do to finish. Sarah Booth gets whinier, and more obnoxious in each book. Jitty gets more outlandish.

Dissappointed

Revisado: 08-14-14

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Narration -- Georgie was too shrill. Hispanic accents sounded just like Irish. California sherriff sounded like Texas

Would you be willing to try another book from Rhys Bowen? Why or why not?

I've listened to a lot of Ms. Bowen's books, so I would consider another. I would not pre-order but would wait for reviews

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Katherine Kellgren?

Maybe Nicola Barber

Was Queen of Hearts worth the listening time?

just barely

Any additional comments?

Sound mixing was not good for listening. Some times too loud, sometimes inaudible.

Captivating story well told

Revisado: 07-26-14

Would you consider the audio edition of The Boys in the Boat to be better than the print version?

Don't know. Audio version outstanding.

What did you like best about this story?

Great story

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

Don't think so. Really enjoyed his reading. Just a few little mispronounced local place names

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

No. Too long

Entertaining Fluff, Atrocious Narration

Virgina Brown -- maybe, she did make me laugh out loud a couple of times. Karen Commins -- no

Silly complicated plot. -- fun fluff, fell in love with Chitlin' --

Would you be willing to try another one of Karen Commins’s performances?

Nope

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Maybe, would depend on the cast
