Historia
The longest reigning British monarch and female sovereign in history, Queen Victoria was a figure of profound paradox who has mystified historians for over a century. Now in this magisterial biography, A.N. Wilson rebukes the conventional wisdom about her life - that she was merely a "funny little woman in a bonnet" who did next to nothing - to show she was in fact intensely involved in state affairs despite a public façade of inaction.

I wanted to like this book so much and tried to listen multiple times, the reader is so boring and his voice never changes. It’s the same cadence for every sentence. I cannot stay interested. If you want to fall asleep this is the book for you

Great story narrator needs to brush up on accents
Revisado: 06-28-17
I love this story and have read it before, the narrator however butchers the New England accent and it is super hard to ignore. She goes in and out of the accent too sometimes incredibly thick and others nonexistent.

Historia
In her compelling and intimate portrait, presidential historian Barbara A. Perry captures Rose Kennedy’s essential contributions to the incomparable Kennedy dynasty. This biography - the first to draw on an invaluable cache of Rose’s newly released diaries and letters - unearths the complexities behind the impeccable persona she showed the world. The woman who emerges is a fascinating character: savvy about her family’s reputation and resilient enough to persevere through the unfathomable tragedies that befell her.

Any additional comments?
Great to find out more about the Kennedy's from a different perspective. It does seem that the book was a little biased toward painting Rose in a good light. Not sure if that would have always been the case given the amount of time she spent taking time away from her children and her level of involvement in what some would think essential childcare but it was interesting and kept my attention

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
yes/no
good short stories, however the woman reading them is attempting so many different accents that it is annoying and distracting.
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
stop the accents

Historia
Rita Hayworth was the epitome of 1940s glamour. A legendary "Love Goddess", she was a huge box-office star, and her sultry beauty and sensational figure made her into one of Hollywood's greatest sex-symbols: a pin-up so incendiary that GIs pasted it on to the first atom bomb ever detonated.

Good book as far as learning more about Rita Hayworth, but the story dragged a lot and the performance wasn't attention grabbing

Would you consider the audio edition of The Carrie Diaries to be better than the print version?
The book was a good listen, performance great, it doesn't have much to do with the Carrie Bradshaw we know and love from Sex and the City, didnt see a whole lot of connection but still entertaining
