Looking forward to more from these authors and readers. Story and performance are superb. You might as well take a day off and just listen to it from beginning to end!

Classic Keith Olbermann

Revisado: 01-14-18

I am binging on Keith Olbermann's book, having forgotten just how analytic, how articulate, how eloquent, how passionate... and, unfortunately, in this case, what a visionary he is.

Listening to this book, you have to remind yourself that these editorials were composed in 2016 and 2017, because they are so relevant now, and will be even more relevant in the future.

If you are/were a fan of Olbermann's, you will love this book which pulls together his brilliant liberal political essays since before the 2016 election. For those of you who don't know him, listen to the book. Olbermann is a brilliant writer and a passionate voice in an age when there are very very few.

THE WORST BOOK I'VE EVER PUT TO MY EARS!

Revisado: 03-02-17

Why it was necessary to tell this story with such horror and gore is beyond me. There are scenes from the first half of this book that you can't erase from your mind, and you can't listen to the other half - at least I couldn't. This book is written for the sociopaths it is written about.

Stop the series at Book 4

Revisado: 01-02-17

Books 1 through 4 of this series all managed to have a different story and tone. Book 5 is not as original; in fact, one of the most exaggerated fictional sociopaths in Book 4 shows up again in Book 5 without welcome to the heroine or the reader. I wanted to return this book (I couldn't even finish it), but I would not have been given the opportunity to write a review.

READ the book, DON'T LISTEN to it

Revisado: 08-21-16

There are two major characters in the book, each portrayed by a different narrator. The narrator who plays "Heather" is totally inappropriate for the role. She's supposed to be a large, blond young woman from Wales, but sounds like anything but, with a strong accent from the West Indies. I really had difficultly getting through her sections, which were stacatto and sing songy.

That being said, the book is very well written and if you can get past the voice of one narrator, the characters are very well drawn, as is the plot. You will recognize the characters, the motives, and perhaps even some of the behavior, from your youth and maybe the book will help you fill the gaps in your understanding of persons you once knew.

I really recommend the book highly in print.

If you like Alice Munro, you'll love these stories

Revisado: 08-17-16

These are wonderful stories, and I did enjoy listening to them.

The only problem for me was that the narrator used the same 'voice' in all the stories, so that there were few vocal characterization differences among characters in each story. This made the protagonists seem like carbon copies of each other. Also there is no pause, not even a bit of one, from story to story, and because the 'voice' is the same you're not sure that the past story has ended and the next one has begun.


A really annoying problem with the audiobook is technical. The 'chapters' are not set up by story, but randomly, so when returning to your listening, it is very hard to find your place.

Wish I didn't know the real identity of the author

Revisado: 11-09-15

Three novels have been written in this series and they are all terrific. Great character development and lots of action and surprise. Turns out Robert Galbraith is a pen name. Okay, fine. But one gets an image of the author, especially after reading three of his books. If you don't want that image shattered yet, don't listen to the afterward. Shut off your player after the last word of the novel.

Beautiful story

Revisado: 09-25-14

I loved the story; it made me yearn to listen to Gregorian chants. It is a well-drawn story with some unexpected twists and turns and it is very well read. The only drawback, as I saw it, is the syrupy romance scattered through the book. It just doesn't fit in a mystery. Write a romance or write a mystery.

This is my first Louise Penny book and, generally, I enjoy her writing. But if her other mysteries include soppy romance stories woven through them, I think it will be my last book of hers.
