This series vascillates between extreme boredom, just barely crawling to OMG! Hide the Children. A real ride up and plunge down.

No more pork for me

Revisado: 04-24-19

Way too much lurid, nearly disgusting detail about the appetite of the pig, Repetition about the Middle Eastern peoples and pork, and their attitudes to the pig. Interesting passages, but lots to wade through to get there. Very interesting bits about "salting" the islands with mating pigs. And the army does march on its stomach....... Not my favorite "focus on" book. Sorry Mark Essig....

Combo mundane and wonderful sleuthing

New to Baldacci, he didn't disappoint. As a first of a series, this was a grand entry. Loved the characters, the plot, the tension and the resolution. Found a new "favorite author" -- that makes 12 favorites!

Bravo the unabridged version

Revisado: 05-15-18

Rich character development and a wealth of mini-sagas in unabridged. One of my McCammon absolute favourites. Touching, funny, lots of totally original stuffe here!

Unexpected

Revisado: 10-17-15

Would you consider the audio edition of Hard Magic to be better than the print version?

Audios are the only way to go for me, and I loved the narration with the superb characters identified by their own special vocal peculiarities. Loved the new "world" Larry Correia has spun up for us. Different, but truly fascinating. Thanks, LC

What other book might you compare Hard Magic to and why?

Don't like to compare books, each one is a unique creation.

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

A true feeling for the characters, amazing how he injects emotion and description rolled into a real person.

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

Fascinated

Any additional comments?

Thanks for the weird world of anything goes..........

Would you try another book from Veronica Roth and/or Emma Galvin?

Might possibly - narrator was good, story was well-worn

What could Veronica Roth have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

More original material - there are so many alternate world, teen hero, save the world offerings, but they all seem similar.

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

No, but she did a pretty good job

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

Probably not - be good for the YA's and/or the sci-fi yuppies????

Any additional comments?

Good try, but no cigar

Yesssss! Absolutely!

Would you listen to The Golem and the Jinni again? Why?

Already replaying it, the story was so rich with detail, and characters so utterly fascinating from an altogether different outlook, I was enthralled... Interesting world they populated. Some New York City history as well, from the immigrant's view.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Golem and the Jinni?

When the Golem was brought to life, the Jinni's desert story, basically all the background character developments were really riveting. And the end was just --- whew!

Which scene was your favorite?

Lots, can't pick a favorite

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Earth meets Fire

Any additional comments?

Loved the book - hope the author keeps writing - her character development was really fun to hear.
THANKS!!!!

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

I didn't get to the story, the southern / german / new york / southern / rotating accent narration was so irritating, I ditched the story. Wasted credit!

What do you think your next listen will be?

Spies of the Balkans

What didn’t you like about Aimee Bruneau’s performance?

Needs to polish up one accent or the other, but can't switch in the middle of a sentence.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

No

Any additional comments?

Wish I had my credit back

At last!

Revisado: 11-19-11

We finally have a download audio for the iPod. This story was such a grand weave of well developed, hodge-podge characters, all made exquisite in the telling by wonderful Will Patton. Would love to hear more McCammon tapestries.
