A. long. Story

Revisado: 01-05-22

It takes a very long time to get to where the story starts to move, but when it does it moves.
Perhaps you have to understand scandanavian culture to see how the action is action.
I enjoyed it and like the narrator s voice. Appropriate .

Whimsey exposed

Revisado: 09-30-21

Ian Carmichael is Peter Whimsey.
DS must have had a blast expanding on the primary characters and showing them off in connection with each other.
There are the usual twists and turns along the way with no great AHA moments but coloured liberally with the honeymoon couple joy of learning each other better.
I have listened at least 4 times to this. It is a soothing enjoyable read with many favorite parts (Harriet in the library, Duchess diary etc). The abridged version may give you the flavor but it is by no means the full meal.
If you like Peter Whimsey you will love this.

Dickens should have been an orator. His prose carries me away to a time long past.
Sometimes this work is overwhelmingly in its description of the life and lives of it's characters but he manages to involve you.
very long but loved it.

IsThere a how to section?

Revisado: 05-05-21

having been a grandparent for 16 years I can say where were you then? There's so much here that resonates that I have to say this is a must read for all prospective grandparents and even for parents.
Much of what is wrong in families is communication and even silent communication.
There's so much more that a mere review won't do.
Read or listen to the book.

the child matchmaker

Revisado: 03-18-21

I loved the voice of a young person telling the tale. Reminiscent of Where the red fern grows from that standpoint but not in content.
Christmas recollections are often strong because of all past season s. that get brought out by traditions and customs.

Inspiration

Revisado: 02-14-21

In many genres C S Lewis writing inspires and brings us near to God our loving father.
If parents still read to their children read these books aloud for their benefit and their own.
Great readers to match the stories they tell.

Delightful!!

Revisado: 09-26-20

I felt like I was catching up with old friends.
It was wonderful to see how Harriet maintains her literary life while watching over a brood of children.
Lord Peter glows as a father and lives an enchanted existence through and with his eldest son.
Bunter though in a much diminished capacity is still available for carrying out services that are so not ordinary.
Missed Lord Peter's mother. I love that character.

Hang on to your seat.

Never boring reading a Stephen King novel. The reader gave life to the vibrant character s although sometimes difficult to hear.
We live in a world where the abuses put on the children are not unheard of even while they are difficult to fathom. People's reactions both in real life and fiction say more of the character in whatever stage of life they are at.
Thank God there are usually some characters who add comic relief and give some mental space to assimilate where the story is heading.
Glad to see a less than vivacious female in a leading character who is constantly overcoming her own fears.
Well done.

This was extremely well read with great pronunciation of all names.
Although a biography you are pulled along in the telling, anxious for the next part of his life.
A mostly linear story the regression to former parts of his life makes him even more human.
