good old fashion horror / a must listen

Revisado: 06-10-16

I was captivated from start to finish. This was a good old fashion horror story read beautifully. I love the sound of Ron Pearlman's voice and it really played to this storyline. The characters were realistic. This is not the stereotypical "girl runs away, trips and is helpless" or a "no one's ever heard of vampires" story. If you like a good scary story, listen to this book... you won't be disappointed.

weak, poorly written book, performed subpar

Revisado: 05-02-16

I wanted to like this book, but kept thinking it must have been written by a 13-year old. The narrator did well with multiple characters' voices, but all females came off as weak and meager; not sure if this was due to the writing, the narrator, or a combination of both. I made it through the entire book, but was constantly disappointed.

unexpected

Revisado: 07-09-15

loved every minute. got this as a daily sale item, thought it sounded interesting, but had no idea what I was in for. you'll want to listen to this on a long car ride, or a time when you don't have to stop...because you won't want to!

DELIGHTFUL!

Revisado: 04-29-12

Would you consider the audio edition of The Apprentice to be better than the print version?

We read The Apprentice for my book club... I got a great reading from Michel Chevalier (including the accent,) but missed out on the recipes in between chapters.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Jacques Pepin

Any additional comments?

I found this memior very moving and inspirational. Jacques' life is an incredible one, beautifully written. His stories conjure up wonderful smells and tastes. The day after finishing this book, I purchased Jacques Pépin's Complete Techniques - which is now a staple in my kitchen.

can you talk without applying signs of "e"?

Would you consider the audio edition of The Pleasure of My Company to be better than the print version?

I haven't read The Pleasrure of my Company in print, but I can't imagine a better way to "read" this book.

What does Steve Martin bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I felt like I was in Steve Martin's head, listening to him writing this tale.

Any additional comments?

You can't help but like and relate to the main character on some level. I often found strangers on the street giving me odd looks while I was listening to this book -- as I laughed out loud or at the very least, had a stupid grin on my face.

Better than the movie

Revisado: 04-29-12

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Already have. We all saw the movie years ago - and loved it. The book goes deeper into the narrator's psyche and the story behind the fight.

how DO we get by?

Revisado: 04-29-12

Where does Nickel and Dimed rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

In the top 10

Who was your favorite character and why?

Barbara (of course)

What does Cristine McMurdo-Wallis bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She gave Barbara a voice.

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

yes

Any additional comments?

I read [and was captured by] a good portion of this book in print. But when my weekly driving time increased [thereby reducing my reading time] I downloaded this book to listen to while in the car. Cristine's narration added the voice which was missing from my own reading. It was wonderful - she brought Barbara to life and really captured the essence of her. Nickel & Dimed is a must read.

What would Cardiff do without Torchwood?

Revisado: 02-12-11

This is a great representation of Torchwood. If you like the show, this will bring you back. Gareth David-Lloyd narrates this beautifully and captures each charecter's voice/inflections amazingly well. Would recommend.

Long live the Doctor!

Revisado: 02-12-11

If you like the Doctor and Donna, you will love this! Catherine Tate keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout the story and does an amazing impression of David Tennant as the Doctor. The imagery is perfectly detailed, and the sounds/music (while a little cheesy) help make it a classic DW.
