Thoroughly interesting, delivered terribly.

The content is rigorous, well researched, and thought provoking. The authors personal notes and thoughts reflected at times detract from the delivery, perhaps even harming its appearance of credibility. Overall it is extremely intriguing and worthwhile to read, emphasis on read. The real problem is the narration. Rampant mispronounciation, odd sentence structure and cadence, and worst of all is the all around poor quality of the recording. What sounds like a mouse click is persistently audible throughout, and the microphone used sounds like a can tied to a string. I primarily listen to books while driving, and my vehicle stereo experience was awful, the volume isn't even consistent. Should the book ever be re-recorded, I'd recommend it to anyone. As it is, I still recommend it, just in physical book form.

Intriguing as ever, Clavell still holds my interest. I do feel Tai Pan is a better novel, but the sequel was worth the listen. Reader has excellent range, solid cadence, and sound pronunciation. Would recommend.

I thought surely Clavell couldn't top the intrigue and rich detail of Shogun, but I'm very glad to report Tai-Pan is just as good! Thoroughly enjoyable, and heartily recommended.

Narration was excellent. Story was compelling. My only complaint is that there wasn't more of it!

A superb start, thoroughly competent narration. All culminating in what amounts to YA level leftist fantasy. The interesting characters at the start quickly become one dimensional, before being replaced altogether by truly Mary-Sue level backups. The compelling logistical problems presented by the events at the beginning and hardly discussed, and wholly worked through in the background with little fanfare or difficulty. Despite being written over 20 years ago, it bears remarkable similarity to the kind of leftist writing you'd expect to make up a modern Amazon MGM production. Squandered opportunity, clearly enjoyable enough to warrant several sequels to some, however I don't think I'll be continuing beyond the first.

I feel this is the weakest of the series to date. The performance has the usual issues. Mispronounciation, repeated lines, and a few sections where the recording must have been done in different locations. The developments weren't uninteresting, just seems like some of the momentum of the earlier books was waning. I remain excited for more, and overall it was still enjoyable.

The reading is excellent, the material rich. A worthwhile listen. I look forward to diving into the rest of the Asia Saga by Clavell.

Upon finishing Enders Game, I thought it a crime I'd never experienced it as a child or even a young adult. However, I'm grateful for the opportunity to have that first experience now. All the more after listening to Speaker for the Dead. The performance marvelously captures the story, and the material is sublime. It will go down as one of my favorites, and I now envy those who get to hear it for the first time. Couldn't recommend enough.

The second in the series doesn't disappoint. Thoroughly engaging and entertaining. However, the narration once again fails to deliver. While possessing an easy to listen to, radio-like tone. The frequency of mispronounced words and emotionless delivery do not favor the text. I still recommend it, albeit while wishing for another rendition.
