disappointing

Revisado: 05-16-24

the presentation was not good. sometimes muffled. sometimes it sounded like reader was shouting. sometimes phrases were repeated. needed a better editor or sound engineer. the text itself was okay. but for me waaay to much detail on intricacies of FBI and communists,etc. disappointing.

FABULOUS

I was on the the edge of my seat with this story. King does a great job of weaving prior fairy tales into a compelling tale that highlights a young person's journey into adulthood. Thanks, Stephen!

GREAT history

A great historical narrative of Peter's life and much of the related history of related leaders and states and cultures. Massie gives much insight into Peter's character and drive, indicating his accomplishments and importance for the world.

repetitious focus on language

Revisado: 05-02-23

I love history and historical books and have read hundreds of them. This book disappointed me immensely. It was a repetitious accounting of the word Scythian with an over-focus on language.

great story

Revisado: 12-30-13

Where does The Cricket on the Hearth rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

A delightful story with a typical Dickens' twist. Dickens presents a good cast of characters who offer a tale of hope and perseverance.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I especially liked the steady carrier.

Any additional comments?

I commend this book to those who could use a bit of 19th century hope.

great but repeats

Revisado: 11-18-13

Any additional comments?

This is a great book, with rich historical detail. I love how Caro sets the right context by offering numerous historical sketches in which to set the moments of Johnson's life. Gardner's reading is superb, warmly bringing the subject to life. However, this wonderful book and presentation are marred by the audio recording in which, on a regular basis (sometimes once a chapter), sentences are repeated. Overall, an excellent product!

What made the experience of listening to Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power the most enjoyable?

An excellent historical biography that underscored the central theme--Jefferson as one masterful in marshaling and using power.

What did you like best about this story?

I liked the intricate details that highlighted the biography as told through letters and anecdotes.

Any additional comments?

Herrman's craft in telling the story is exemplary--very easy to listen to and very entertaining!

Not good story

Revisado: 10-08-11

Though I liked Herrman's reading (as I always do), the story left much to be desired. It seemingly had no point other than a vacuous notion of one of the disappointments of youth.

Excellent!

An excellent story! Engaging. Martin offers a stimulating method of narrative--having us see the events unfold through the eyes of the different characters. The reading is very good; however, it seemed as if the reader, at first, was out of breath often. This got better as the reading progressed.
