The Story was Fantastic and SO WAS THE NARRATOR!

Revisado: 01-21-25

I’m always at a loss at the stinging reviews this narrator gets! I love the pitch and timbre of her voice, the “poshness” of her normal accent and the versatility and accuracy of her others. I love that I can understand every word she says, that I don’t have to crank up the volume to hear her and that she makes by far fewer mispronunciations than most other narrators I am familiar with. I like the rhythm she acquires as she gets into the story and I get caught up in it as well. Perhaps the problem is the lack of patience the complainants may have. I noticed one accused her of being AI generated. I loved this book. My mother was an Anglophile and an extreme British history buff. She passed that love to me. She took me to England when I was just a teenager and one of the places she showed me was Hardwick Hall as she was quite knowledgeable about Bess of Hardwick. How I wish I could have shared this book with her!

The Story in Her Own Words

Revisado: 11-02-24

I don’t think you can get any closer to the truth about Ava Gardner than this, and the narrator does such a marvelous job it seems like you’re right there with her in the room as she talks.

Research! Research! Research!

Revisado: 05-24-24

What an amazing, interesting, intelligent book this is! I wish every biography was so well researched! While it is as fact filled as a textbook, it is as good as a novel. It corrected a number of things I had read and believed. I loved it.

Could it possibly have been better?

Revisado: 01-22-24

I’d bet money it couldn’t! Not only was the writing superb, but the story, the characters, Kingsolver’s extraordinary ability to make me care about a redneck, drug addicted, teenage football player have been practically unheard of in contemporary fiction for me. I love, love, love the links to David Copperfield and like all Dickens’ books I will read this over and over. As for the narrator, he couldn’t have been better either. Absolutely flawless performance! Flawless!

Couldn’t put it down! I thought the writing was so good I felt as if I were there. Of course Justine Eyre is flawless! This book just zipped by so fast I intend to listen to it again!

The narrator is spot on!

Revisado: 04-15-23

I don’t know what the complaints are all about unless people don’t know what New York accents sound like. Mary Jane Wells is great! It sounds to me as if she is telling the story instead of reading it. If she has always been your favorite and suddenly you don’t like how she presented this one, maybe you’re a little rigid in your expectations and are not allowing room for a true artist to practice her profession. In any case, Kleypas and Wells are an unbeatable pair. This book was well worth my credit!

Wonderful Story! Fabulous Narrator!

Revisado: 12-11-22

It’s so amazing when a well written book is narrated with as much skill as Ms Entwhistle has. I was so absorbed in this book I was absolutely wrung out when I reached the unwanted end! I loved it!

Milne has captured my heart!

Revisado: 09-26-22

Everyone who listens to their books know how important the narrator is. This was my first book by Kidd and the first audio by Milne and I am SO tempted to turn around and listen to the same book again-something I’ve only done 2 or 3 times in my life and I have been a voracious and promiscuous reader for 70 years. I will read this book again, but first I will read another by Kidd and another read by Milne to make sure it wasn’t a fluke. I loved it, Loved it! LOVED IT!!!

Great story! Great narrator!

Revisado: 09-09-22

This is the first novel I’ve read by Lauren Smith and I was amazed at the unique story, the interesting characters and the great writing! I love, love, love Heather Wilds who gets better with every book! I’m so glad there appears to be more of these; I think I’ve fallen into a gold mine!
