Great story, great narration

Revisado: 06-19-23

Slow paced befitting the era, but consistently entertaining with bouts of fantastical plot twists gently Intertwined into a realistic narrative. Loved it.

A very cute and funny tale..

Revisado: 11-02-18

A very cute and funny tail. Appropriate for children but entertaining for adults as well. I laughed out loud several times.

Largely dry resuscitation of pseudo factoids..

Revisado: 07-26-18

1/4 of the story was interesting character interaction and 3/4 of the story was dry observation. Large portions were easily tuned out, skimmed over, or ignored altogether. It was formulaic so it was easy to know when the exceptionally unentertaining portions were about to replete and take over the story. Try as you may it becomes less and less tolerable to muddle through those portions as they expectedly repeat in form. By the fifth and final go around the formulaic storyline I gave up and threw in the towel unable/ unwilling to go through the exceedingly boring portions one more time even if there was hope that the conclusion of the story would offer up some kind of entertaining storytelling. Perhaps this would have made a better short story if not filled with fluffer factoids that watered it down and essentially gave it barely a pulse.

Vague and anti-climactic

Revisado: 12-16-17

It was hard to keep my mind from wandering throughout the entirety of the story and in the end it just sort of fizzled out. Vague and unsatisfying.

Bad narration and not much of a story

Revisado: 12-16-17

Bad narration can ruin even a decent story not that this was much of a story. It was a stinker all around.

intelligently written, well narrated..

Revisado: 11-25-17

The author did a fine job- It's very well written. you can tell when someone's done their research and when they haven't and this author clearly has. And the narrator did the story Justice. often enough a narator can ruin a decent story. not in this case. It was an entertaining book.

Poor narration..

Revisado: 06-05-17

The lackluster narrator was really hard to get beyond. Her monotone voice made it difficult to distinguish between characters, action, story progression..

Couldn't get past the crappy narrator..

Revisado: 05-07-17

It's not a fair critique of the writing or story but an inept narrator can ruin a book- as this narrator did. He has no range of voice so was unable to depict different characters. The performance was the equivalence of listening to someone read an instruction manual.

Very entertaining

Revisado: 05-01-17

Well written and the narrator did it justice. A bad narrator can destroy a story where as a good one can bring all the characters to life as the author intended. The story is a good one and the narrator did a fine job. It is a three-part cliffhanger and leaves you looking forward to more.

Meh..

Revisado: 05-27-16

The charecters were not written believably. Subtle and glaringly obious instances of scenarios depicted with non-believable charecter responses and dialog. The narrators version of a female voice sounded like a parady of a bitchy cheerleader. "Like, oh my god.." The story illuluded to something supernatural about the town in general but that bit of the storyline wandered off and petered out- having nothing to do with the main events...
