Mediocre at best

Revisado: 05-01-21

Quite uninteresting to me. Narrator borders on monotone. Almost a bit unbelievable. I'm thinking of returning it.

Subtle humor from irreverent soldiers serving in Korea. Enjoyed it a great deal. It was the right length too.

One of my top 5 for 2019

Revisado: 10-16-19

Fun to hear! Good story. Well-written by a good author, Martin Clark. A story I looked forward to getting back to, because it had action that moved the story along. I highly recommend The Substitution Order. Good narration too.

Simple plot. Unbelievable developments. Couldn't relate to anyone. Another rich lawyer story.. Not for me.

Short story made into a long book

Revisado: 07-18-15

What would have made How to Catch a Russian Spy better?

About half as long

Would you ever listen to anything by Naveed Jamali and Ellis Henican again?

Likely not

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Kirby Heyborne?

I thought Kirby did a fine job

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from How to Catch a Russian Spy?

Too many to mention. That's the problem. There's just too many verbose scenes, i.e. saying a lot about nothing. Who cares about what kind or color of chair Naveed sits in? How overly dramatic can you make the scene where Naveed gives the Russian a copy of a linguistic file? How over done can you make Naveed's conversations with different Naval officers? The book was just too long w/simple scenes made far too wordy.

Any additional comments?

I expected a story much more interesting and engaging. Going back to it was a chore.

Not my cup of tea

Revisado: 04-17-14

Would you try another book from Andy Weir and/or R. C. Bray?

I have my doubts. My taste in authors/stories are different from his/their's.

What was most disappointing about Andy Weir’s story?

The main character was not very complex. He was kind of the McGiver of Mars, i.e. he could find a solution for nearly everything, using common everyday space materials. He was portrayed as typical American, glib, wise-cracking, extremely smart, etc. No thanks. The world may be watching, but I'm not.

What three words best describe R. C. Bray’s performance?

Distracting, capable, tiring

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Great idea.

Any additional comments?

It seemed like a flight to or from Mars was no longer than a cross country flight.

Very listenable

Where does I Wonder as I Wander rank among all the audiobooks you???ve listened to so far?

I like non-fiction. This audiobook ranks in the top 10 I have heard. The narration is excellent, and the story moves from one interesting story to another.

What other book might you compare I Wonder as I Wander to and why?

I was reminded of my recent listen, Winston Churchill. The time frame was similar, which is to me a worthy era of history. I did not know anything about Langston Hughes. This audiobook broadened my perspective.

Have you listened to any of the narrator???s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, I have not listened to any of the narrator`s other performances. He did well in conveying the voice of Langston Hughes.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Harlem was in vogue.

Any additional comments?

The story prompted me to frequently wonder, ``What drove Langston Hughes to wander as he did??` This was a great study in character.
