overwrought narration
Revisado: 03-09-17
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I feel the narration really overwhelmed my impression of the book. Audiobooks, I suppose, are prone to this phenomenon for good or for bad. In this case, trust me, it took away from the book. There is some pretty prose in this novel though the story itself may disappoint. Lots of navel gazing and some whining, and sympathetic characters were scarce. The writer has a gift for expression. I may try another of her novels sans the over affected, boorish narration.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Suzanne Toren?
someone less affected and overbearing.
Was The Emperor's Children worth the listening time?
no

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 268
A Harvard physician’s scientifically proven method to improve your physical and mental health by optimizing your hormones in your 30s, 40s, and beyond.... Dr. Sara Gottfried refuses to accept the traditional medical thinking that feeling cranky, asexual, tapped out, and sleep-deprived is just part of being female and aging, and that prescription medication will fix all problems. Offering solutions in nonjudgmental and thoughtful language, Dr. Gottfried provides a novel plan based on solid scientific research.

Great Book and info, but horrible narration
Revisado: 06-27-16
What did you love best about The Hormone Cure?
Loved the very detailed presentation. Information was well presented, but can be a bit confusing if you do not have a experience with medical or scientific material.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
Great important info. Maybe author should drop the cutesy, popular, teenage lingo. Sounds like she's trying too hard. We get it already, and we are over 35.....
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Tara Hugo?
anyone...she's horrid. I barely could get through the book. She mispronounced many things. Her reading rhythm/meter was off for the type of material. She sounded like she was acting out Shakespeare when she was talking about simple things like the thyroid dysfunction, etc. Lets not even mention any verbiage about sex.....ewww, her emphatic, sexy voicings made my flesh crawl. Get the hard copy of this. There are too many pieces of data that one misses listening to it being read. Then there is content referencing to the PDF, etc.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
no.
