Excellent! Extraordinary and should be a must read

Revisado: 03-06-25

Excellent! Extraordinary. Should be a must-listen/read for any student of politics, history, feminism, society... A completely different way of looking at our relationship and Connections to Land. Such a reset from what so many take as "normal." and Truly, Braden Wright does a brilliant job -- his narration makes this consistently very, very interesting and drew me right in. Great Work -- narrator and author Michael Albertus.

A waste of time, and a waste of money I expected better from Blake

Revisado: 02-04-24

Worst narration, I have ever heard why would an author pay a narrator this bad there is no performance value. There was no going along with the story or cake being involved, or being drawn in. This was a waste of time, and a waste of money.

Beware of masochistic torture you can't unhear

Revisado: 07-21-21

Gaiman is a master of some elements but he evidently isn't speaking from the mountain of self-knowledge here -- more from journaling in an apparent attempt to work out and expunge old demons of abuse. Unfortunately, that means spewing them onto the listener. My empathy for him but this was interminable. Is he too big for an editor to reign him in, or does a narrator-writer of his calibre forestall caution and collaboration on topics he should know are so sensitive and personal to him? Art does not always have to equal only pain. Transformations are effective when tempered with an encouraging pace to share in a journey that goes somewhere, not stalled in one gear for half the book. Gaiman effectively uses quiet personal intimacy -- in words and performance -- to bring you into the innocent perspective of a child but then takes that power and bludgeons you torturously with manipulative abuse to an inexcusable degree until it becomes masochistic to continue to listen. I gave it 2+ hours and then I jumped from halfway to 3/4 and found the same plodding use of the whipping pen dubbed "share my pain." It's not an original sentiment, but I truly wish I could unhear this, and that's not possible. Unfortunately, this is my first full Gaiman production. I know he's a master at other works so I'll go to one other but with much more caution and self protection rather than open interest... appropriate when an author doesn't know himself well enough at this point in his career and produces this intimately horrific and manipulative mess out of potentially promising premises. Horrendous.

I loved it! The narrator is so good she allows the words to create the pictures in your mind: very adroit. Outstanding! Looking forward to numbers 2, 3, 4 & 5... how long must I wait?

Brilliant - Loved it start to finish

Revisado: 02-19-21

Brilliant study of human fears and the way in which we protect ourselves from painful situations, only to bring about the very reality we were trying to control our way around! Loved it all the way through and plan on listening again! Highly recommend!!!

Thank you, the narrator was wonderful

The story is wonderful,but if you want a 5 out of 5 you need a better proofer. Each repeated sentence takes the listener out of the story,it is jarring
