Gripping tale

Revisado: 10-27-15

I began reading this series simply because I like Robert Glenister's voice, but I am hooked.
The story lines are fast paced and well crafted, and the reading by Glenister is sensational.

Anyone who enjoys a thriller will love this, but if some naughty words concern you this may not be the book for you.

Utterly compelling

Would you listen to Burial Rites again? Why?

This book has it all, an excellent story, a compelling narrator and an unfolding story.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Burial Rites?

The story and the narrator made every facet of the day to day life and the country side seem utterly alive.

Any additional comments?

Don't let the rather grim storyline put you off, it is an excellent listen.

Magnificent

Any additional comments?

I commend this book to anyone and everyone. It is magnificently researched, the love interest is a compelling juxtaposition to the brutality of the war, and the constraint of time.

Compelling read

Revisado: 01-01-13

If you could sum up Appetite for Life in three words, what would they be?

Every Executive should be compelled to read this book. Even if they don't relate to the marvellous contents, the work ethic it describes, the dedication to beliefs, the altruism, the commitment and the partnership that this book has in bucketsful couldn't help but develop anyone.

I love the dedication to food, the Childs' dedication to each other, their dedication to work, and their spirit, the biographer captured it all.

What about Nadia May’s performance did you like?

Nadia May is always a delight to listen to, her voice is calm and soothing and her pronunciation is always excellent, and none of the French in the book phased her at all.

Any additional comments?

This is a read no one will regret.

A challenging read

Revisado: 01-01-13

If you could sum up The Man Who Loved Children in three words, what would they be?

Manipulative, misguided and misplaced were words that kept recurring to me through this read. Manipulative describes the adult chatacters, barely an ounce of humanity between them. Misguided again applies to the adult characters who were flawed in just about every way possible. I also thought the author was misguided in setting the book in the USA. As an Australian reading this, and knowing that the Author was also Australian, though had lived long periods out of Australia, this book would have worked so much better if it had had an Australian setting.

What three words best describe C. M. Hebert’s performance?

Trying narration. The flat, almost monotone narration did nothing to enhance a read I found to be trying at the best of times.

Worth listening to over and over again

Revisado: 10-01-12

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I recommend this book to anyone and everyone, there is something for everyone in it. There is wonderful love, tender and caring, there is passion, there is grief and sadness, and the whole story has withstood the passage of time.

What did you like best about this story?

The characters and plot are indicative of life at the time.

What about Veronika Hyks’s performance did you like?

The narrator's voice is perfect for the story and she reads it with all the inflection it deserves.

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

I didn't want to stop listening, even though i know the book well, i stoll wanted to immerse myself in this lovely rendition.

Arduous

Revisado: 08-20-12

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

The plot was an arduous listen, failed to deliver either a learning or uplifting experience.

What was most disappointing about Umberto Eco’s story?

The anti-semetic nature

What about Sean Barrett’s performance did you like?

Lovely voice

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

All of the above, but also a distrust of review recommendations
