Wonderful

The beautiful flow of the writing is complemented by the flawless performance. Listening to this has been a great experience

Not the greatest but worth listening to

Revisado: 07-13-23

It’s interesting to learn about these guys. Pena seems like a very self aware man who knows himself and has come to terms with his decisions-both good and bad. Murphy seems overly concerned with how the reader sees him and his attempts to convince the reader that he (and his wife) are “good “ people are kind of heavy handed.

Okay book, great performance

Revisado: 05-16-23

Iphgenia Baal is a pleasure to listen to. Great performance.
When confining himself to the Zodiac, this is a very good book. Good common sense review of existing Zodiac information.
Unfortunately, the author feels the need to interject little political jibes which are mostly just worn out liberal cliches.

Excellent

Extremely informative, interesting and entertaining. Professor Allitt is very easy to listen to. I only wish this course was longer.

Returned this one

Revisado: 06-28-18

Nothing really new or interesting about the Beatles. Narrator (who is also the author) is pretty uneven-to the point of annoyance.
This book is crying out for a skilled editor to clean it up.

Interesting stuff.

Revisado: 06-16-18

Offers a great inside look at what it has taken to make The Simpsons so good for so long.
I do think it was a mistake having the author also do the narration. This guy can't deliver a line and
has a really annoying way of speaking. Not all good writers are also good performers.
Also, it's sort of weird having the author reading solicited praise for himself from his peers. Not really needed.

Dice getting laid

Revisado: 09-13-17

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Hearing about Dice's sexual history get boring pretty fast. The story of his career sounds interesting but, he tells it in a very juvenile way. I made it a few hours before I completely lost interest.

Would you ever listen to anything by Andrew Dice Clay again?

Probably not.

How could the performance have been better?

Some guy doing a poor Dice impersonation.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disappointment.

Extremely poor recording

What disappointed you about The Odyssey?

Great story

What about Ian McKellen’s performance did you like?

Great voice. Very pleasant to listen to.

Any additional comments?

Great translation, Great narrator..why not hire an engineer who knows what he is doing?
It is wonderful until about chapter 13, then it goes completely off the rails.
Don't waste your time or money on this one.

Cavett at his best

Revisado: 12-10-14

What did you love best about Brief Encounters?

Cavett's style. He obviously enjoys being the smartest guy in the room. He has had a fascinating life and he shares it in perfectly sized doses.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Cavett is Cavett.

Which character – as performed by Dick Cavett – was your favorite?

He did them all very well.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No- you don't want to use it up too quickly.

Any additional comments?

His sniping at conservatives- Cheney, Palin, Limbaugh- comes off as petty and dated.

Big disapointment

Revisado: 12-10-14

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

I can't imagine anyone really enjoying this book

What was most disappointing about Clifford Irving’s story?

Very boring. How can a book about such an interesting subject be so poorly written?

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Joe Barrett?

Someone who can tell a story without trying to do all the voices. His female voices, with their accents, were so bad they were hard to listen to.

What character would you cut from The Hoax?

Edith and Nina.

Any additional comments?

Poorly written and poorly narrated. I made it about three hours in and couldn't take any more. One of the worst performances I've heard in quite awhile. This could have been ok if Irving stuck to the story of the Hughes hoax and left out all the filler about his wife and girlfriend.
