From a Lifetime Astronomy Fan

I loved this audiobook. It was a fascinating story full of amazing facts and theories about the planets our solar system. I highly recommend it!

Great story, weird narration

Revisado: 03-01-19

How can one not love some of the early Jeeves stories? The reader’s voice for Bertie is high and weird. It grew on me somewhat. So not the best production but the only audiobook I saw with the first Jeeves story.

One of the very best Wodehouses

Revisado: 05-20-16

This is one of my very favorites. It combines the hilarious character of Psmith with Blandings Castle. Psmith preserves his aplomb through many bizarre situations, and the loathsome Mr. Baxter gets his comeuppance. There were many laugh-out-loud moments, and Jonothan Cecil is truly the perfect Wodehouse reader.

One of Allingham's best

Revisado: 11-21-15

Traitor's Purse may be my favorite Campion novel. Campion himself is such a delightful character. But this is the only one in which he experiences true character development. The device of amnesia forces him to figure nearly everything out with no context and no background, just his wits. It's a very enjoyable read.

Not a who-dunit but lots of fun

Revisado: 08-28-15

Unlike most Ngiao Marshes, you know all along who the criminals are. But the characters are engagingly drawn and the plot suspenseful. The reader has a great sense of the tone of the books and was enjoyable to listen to.

Read Hunger Games and then stop

Revisado: 12-21-11

What did you like best about Catching Fire? What did you like least?

Unfortunately, the story line begins to really deteriorate after Hunger Games. The conflicts are repetitive, and the main charcter goes from a resourceful and interesting person to just another stupid, emotional teenage girl. She's an idiot, and the male characters aren't, which I found extremely annoying. Read the first one, but skip numbers 2 and 3.

weak ending

Revisado: 11-17-07

Tim Curry is, as always, wonderful, but this was a disappointing end to the series. After all the mysterious buildup, you get almost no information about what has really been going on. While I understand leaving some questions unanswered, leaving them all unanswered was a weak ending to an enjoyable series.

pretty good but not great

Revisado: 08-15-07

First, the narrator of this book was fabulous, just the right intonations and subtle humor. It was really well done. However, I liked this book the least of the series so far. The solution to the mystery and the resolution of one of the plot lines were implausible in a way that the other stories have not been. That said, this is always an enjoyable series, but I wouldn't start with this one.

very clever

Revisado: 08-15-07

This book was witty and a lot of fun. I enjoy the Jack Spratt series even more than the Thursday one. The narrator was engaging--an all-around great audiobook experience.
