Amazing as Always!

Revisado: 01-09-24

The K.F. Breene & Nicole Poole combo on this series is just done right amazing! The material is written magnificently and narrated in such a way you forget it's ONE person voicing everyone. Every book grabs you, makes you laugh, cry, and cheer for the whole team. I just wish they were longer,but only so I can stay in their world longer. *sigh* 20/10 highly recommended

Me every 30 mins, "You are being such an idiot!"

Revisado: 07-11-22

The author can TRULY weave a story and has a great understanding of the source material. The narrators were excellent at acting and playing all the different characters. That being said, I hated it.

I could NOT handle being that angry every time I listened. I guess that means the AUTHOR IS FANTASTIC at making me feel the struggles of each character to such an extent I couldn't bear it any longer.

Book 1-3 were a test of my strength. Only out of sheer willpower was I able to finish books one and two, just to have book 3 start with the same... struggle. Within 15 minutes, I'd removed the audiobook from my device and started to write this review.

How many times can 2 characters repeat the same EXACT mistakes over and over and over and over and over. You get my point. Learning nothing for the experiences and continually putting themselves through some of the worst hells life has to offer. I had to stop.

I was blown away at how quickly the story got heated and it was perfect all the way through.

Disappointed

Revisado: 04-04-16

If you could sum up Eragon in three words, what would they be?

A great book

Who was your favorite character and why?

Saphira. It was very interesting to see dragons portrayed in a different, more personal way. Both her and Eragon grew up a lot throughout this book.

Did Gerard Doyle do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Not so much. The narration was very disappointing for my wife and me. We've both read the Inheritance cycle in the past and were looking to experience it again. However, the narrator made Eragon sound so whiny and Saphira sound like Yoda (not like a female such as Rachel Weisz, which is how we hear her in our heads). We couldn't get through it.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

We did, but not in a good way (see previous question).

Exhausting

Revisado: 04-04-16

Would you try another book from Paula Hawkins and/or the narrators?

Paula - Probably Not
Narrators - Sure, not ruling them out

What was most disappointing about Paula Hawkins’s story?

The fact that my wife and I were upset at everything every main character did. There's only so many times you can watch a character do something stupid or repeat a mistake before you want to stop listening. The characters even acknowledge, "This is stupid", or "I shouldn't do this", and then do it anyway without variance. We stopped halfway through and just read the Wikipedia summary to put closure on it so we could move on to another audiobook.

Would you listen to another book narrated by the narrators?

Sure, the narrators were fine. Anna's narration was more "robotic" than the other two, but for us that served to differentiate Anna's parts from the other two. If Anna's narrator was the only narrator, it would have been an issue. As one of three, it worked.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Girl on the Train?

Can't answer this question without completely tearing down the book. So many horrible choices, so few pages left.
