Very Professional Production

Revisado: 12-08-24

Interesting story idea but overly produced with too many TV episodic like sound effects and unnecessary musical interludes and even long pauses of silence, like they wanted to insert commercials. That being said, all the narrators, sound effects, etc. were professionally and expertly done. Just way more theatrical performance than is needed when listening to a book. A good story does not need the fluff and flash that TV does.

Surprisingly mediocre.

Revisado: 11-23-24

This book seemed flatter to me than the many others in the series. It was not as engaging as I have come to expect based on others in the series. The narrator speaks very clearly but I didn’t get the sense of urgency the other books seemed to have.

Not happy about ending

Revisado: 09-21-24

I enjoyed this storyline until the ending. Didn’t like it. Won’t share any details out of respect for those who like me, enjoy the whole series of M D Cooper’s books. I have listened to about 15 of them and this is my least favorite. The reader also sounds young and while she is good, I thought she sounded too young for this story.

Good but not great like the Orion wars series

Revisado: 08-22-24

The narrator was very professional but lacked excitement and emotion when needed. The narrators for other series make those books more fun. Still a good story and worth listening to.

Why did you change the narrator?

Revisado: 01-03-24

Good story but a bit stretched out compared to previous books in the series. I Prefer the original narrator to this one.

Not Adam’s Best

Revisado: 11-11-23

This book is more of a summary of examples of hidden potential than the science of finding hidden potential. I was hoping for insights into how to unlock my own and others hidden potential and find I am still looking for those insights. Adam does a great job narrating this book. The low score is for the distracting and time wasting musical interludes between chapters and focus on trying to entertain instead of inform in the book. I realize nobody wants a dry academic paper in book form, but I don’t read organizational behavior or psychology books to be entertained. I recommend reading any other previously issued book by Adam and skipping this one.

Great story

Revisado: 10-03-23

A very enjoyable story weaving multiple life lessons in the form of parables. The author does a great job developing characters with just enough information to set the stage for each parable.

Classic story ruined by the telling

Revisado: 09-19-23

The actors reading this story are very talented and do a great job performing their characters. Unfortunately that puts their interpretation in between the listener and the author so the magic of the story in your imagination is ruined by the middle men and women. The sound effects and long pauses for those effects also detract from the story. The effects are very well done and high quality, but this is a radio soap opera from the 1930’s, not a narration of a book. Think of it as a tv show without a picture. Unfortunately this is production run amok and I can’t even finish it. This is a great example of the axiom “just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.

A classic tale worth listening to.

Revisado: 09-14-23

This is a great book that needs no introduction. The readers performance is very well done his voice is appropriately gravelly to represent the old man well.
