Superb narration and writing

Revisado: 07-11-24

SO well narrated that I almost didn't realize how fun and well-written all these stories are. Dorothy Sayers is a marvelous writer. This collection of intriguing old time detective stories is brought to life in full color because of the narration and the delightful protagonist and his detective comrade.

Lovely and beautifully narrated

Revisado: 03-22-24

This lis a lovely and uplifting story of A.A. Milne's enchanted childhood days exploring and being nutured by his natural surroundings in the untainted countryside of 19th century England, and how he joined with artist E.H. Sheperd to create and delight millions of children and adults with his recreation of the Hundred Acre Woods and Winnie the Pooh and his friends.
In our day of lost childhoods, It is a wonderful lesson of the need for children to turn off the digital gadgets, get outdoors, use their imaginations, and experience the wonder of the natural world.

Exceptional narration of a tender story

Revisado: 02-07-24

This touching story of Annie and Carl's first year of marriage reminded me so much of the first year of my 58 yr. marriage... a husband in his last year of college, constant money problems, exhaustion and a baby. Carl, a law student, is serious and hard working. Annie is young, uneducated and hungry to learn and fit into Carl's world. Quarrels and misunderstandings occurs, but their deep love for each other helps them both to make the effort to understand each other and overcome the differences. Written with both humor and pathos, the narration by Maggie-Mae Reed is perfection, even to Annie's Irish brogue and the varied peripheral characters. I wish this had not been Betty Smith's final book. I would have loved a sequel to "Joy in the morning."

Beautifully written, perfectly narrated

Revisado: 01-28-24

During these days of what we may think is unprecedented polarity and political vitriol in America, we can find in this amazing story of Abraham Lincoln and his times, that the more things may seem to change, the more they stay the same. Jon Meecham reads his beautifully written and researched book without bias, but clearly revealing through documentation, personal diaries, sermons, and historical records that the struggle between light and dark forces, bondage and liberty continues today. He touchingly describes Lincoln's struggle as he tried to reconcile these conflicts within and without thoughout his life and his presidency. I highly recommend this to all who would like a deeper understanding of not only history, but of our current issue of racial inequality.

Just awful narration

Revisado: 01-23-24

I had read "When Meadows Bloom" by this author and really liked it. Gave it 5 stars. It was narrated beautifully and appropriately. This book almost seemed to be written by someone else. This story was thin, had unrelentingly preaching, and the reader was just terrible, reading like a 6th grader. I had to endure this book because I wanted to give it a fair chance. But was very disappointed because I thought had found a good new author when I discovered Ann Gabhart, but not sure what happened with this one.

Excellent

Revisado: 12-10-23

Well written and well narrated story of young men and women with the courage to begin a quiet resistance movement against Hitler's cruel regime. Young people who knew that silence was the same as complicity with the tyranny of Nazi rule.
Inspiring and touching.

Compelling story

Revisado: 10-17-23

An excellent narration by Sarah Zimmerman of a remarkable story of two women, one German, the other American, confronting the ordeal of World War and it's effects on the human body and human spirit.
Inspiring and hopeful.
Spoiler alert.... A beautiful ending for those who might hesitate to read it just in case it ends badly.

Great story and narration

Revisado: 10-05-23

Love the story line and the characters who are brought to life so colorfully by the brilliant narration. Didn't want to "turn the last page" on this audible.
Keep these characters coming, A J Pearce, please.

A very pleasant read

Revisado: 02-11-23

I attended college in Emmitsburg, MD, next door to Thurmont, just down the valley from Camp David, during the end of the Eisenhower Administration and beginning of Kennedy's. It was an exciting time and place to be, and Camp David, up on the beautiful mountain always held a mystic for me. With this book I was finally able to get to see this hidden place through the eyes of the author, and all the many Presidents and their families who found respite there from the many burdens of the Presidency. A relaxing and pleasant read.

One of the best a novels I've read lately

Revisado: 01-23-23

Profoundly touching story of love, compassion, family and community struggles, dangers, and hard earned victories during the dust bowl days of the Great Depression, told from the perspective of a 10 yr. old girl.
Tavia GIlbert's narration is superb, bringing every character to vivid reality. Just bought book 2 in the series.
