What a let down….

Revisado: 03-06-24

Honestly I kept holding out for a better ending than what I got. I kinda struggled through this book, but I kept at it because The Expats was just SO GOOD. Not this one. Nothing seams even remotely plausible in the story.
Sigh

Quick, great story, couldn’t stop listening

Revisado: 03-06-24

This one was a surprise, suggested to me by audible. What a well put together plot, twists, revelations-you name it, 10/10 would recommend!

Didn’t want this one to end!

It’s been a while since I was so into a story. What a great plot, even better plot twist. The Robin/Strike storyline progresses very nicely as well in this book.

I will say, Tina Brown does a GREAT job narrating her book. It’s almost like listening to a lecture or overhearing someone’s conversation in a restaurant-but in a good way.

This is the weakest of the Neapolitan Novels

Revisado: 07-17-20

Obviously had to read this one as well since I read the previous 3 Ferrante novels in this series. Not sure what was annoying about Elena in this last installment. The complete lack of foresight, the ending that fell flat, Lila (and really do we know any more about Lila now? No, we probably know less even).
I was disappointed that the series ended as it did. It was not as though we needed closure, but so much effort was placed into the previous 3 books in regards to story and drama, this one was average.

Narration was great.

Ugh.... not sure. Not bad, not great.

I made it to the end of this one. LOVED The Last Mrs. Parrish. I get it. It’s a clever story line and without giving away too much, yes it’s twisted till the end. But some of the characters really need a little more development. How dumb and docile is Leo, and he’s supposed to be this amazing attorney? Piper, the cliches help but a little more depth...? (Where did the Phoenix facility come from?) Joanna’s mother, same... expected, and cliche.
I was hoping for a little more but it wasn’t bad.

Excellent Narration, even better story!

LOVED this book.. so well put together from letters, interviews, historical artifacts. Cartier Brickell has written a marvelous book about her families luxury empire. I loved every bit, the anecdotes, the world history parts and everything in between.

CAN’T STOP. LISTENING

Revisado: 11-07-19

First off-what a great job Ronan Farrow does narrating. He’s got great tone inflection, he does the accents pretty well, and he keeps the pace of information moving.
As for the meat: wow. Well written, intricately put together. It all makes sense, it’s not sensational.
Hoping for a part 2 with even more mind blowing information. Great research and well laid out. I wanted to keep listening.

AWFUL NARRATION.....awful

Revisado: 06-03-19

So i'm just going to be blunt and say the narration is REALLY bad. Apologies too Mr. Harris but this is not your forte.
It took probably 5 chapters to even remotely get interested in the story - MAINLY because the narration is so confusing. Sometimes there is a southern accent, sometimes the fake german accent of Hans Pieter, that then switches to a regular accent. Its so so hard to keep track of characters and who is saying what and who is talking.
And I think that's a main reason this book is disappointing. The story doesn't come alive from the pages. Maybe this is one better read?
I preordered this book so I'm totally let down.
Wait - and how does Cari all of a sudden know these guys are bad guys? So many random "reach" moments.....
