You DON'T tell a Disease its Name

- The Collector
- De: John Fowles
- Narrado por: James Wilby
Narrator’s female voice is unintentionally comic.
Revisado: 01-29-19
Miranda’s diary is a significant chunk of the narrative, only bookended by the character Freddie. Wilby’s female voice interpretation is cartoonishly over-dramatic and makes the kidnapped woman seem petulant, especially when she’s justifiably stressed or angry. It’s distracting from the psychological suspense and becomes unintentionally comic.

"Bueller... Bueller... Bueller."
Revisado: 12-13-15
This might be the best fiction in the history of modern literature, but you wouldn't know it because of the monotone narration.

Fiona Maye is a High Court judge in London presiding over cases in family court. She is fiercely intelligent, well respected, and deeply immersed in the nuances of her particular field of law. Often the outcome of a case seems simple from the outside, the course of action to ensure a child's welfare obvious. But the law requires more rigor than mere pragmatism, and Fiona is expert in considering the sensitivities of culture and religion when handing down her verdicts.

Slick Plot Read with Relish
Revisado: 02-18-15
McEwan allows readers to vicariously experience what it's like to be a High Court judge in the family courts while we dissect each new head-shaking case. For the first time in her career, the Honorable Fiona Maye's personal conflict begins to intermingle with her judgement. The plot is concise yet still seduces you into peering around each new corner. Read with relish by Lindsay Duncan, who believably personifies Maye's inner life. An inspired marriage of voice and character.

Intriguing concept that doesn't catch fire.
Revisado: 02-18-15
I enjoy McEwan in both audio and written form. Just finished "The Children Act" read by Lindsey Duncan and found it completely absorbing. Amsterdam's summary sounds intriguing, but the work and I failed to engage, even after repeated attempts. Seems uncharacteristically muddy, the characters never individuate and the plot doesn't rise to distinguish from the wordy dialogue. I remain a fan of other McEwan titles.

Engrossing World
Revisado: 08-16-12
Any additional comments?
This is a bridge twix the magnetizing first book and the third yet to drop. Historical accuracy painted with rare choices make for an engrossing world in which one continues to live. Have listened to both twice.
