Outstanding Story and Performance

Revisado: 01-29-16

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

I would recommend this to everyone. This is the most perfect combination of story and performance I have ever heard, and I have heard a lot of good books. Michael Kitchen sets the perfect tone for Crichton's narrative. The writing is a history of Victorian England in itself and the story rushes along to a very satisfying conclusion

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

The plot moves from episode to episode with a great flow and engaging dialog. There is a great education in the slang of Victorian criminals that is in itself worth the reading. Find out how Scotland Yard got its name and what the nicknames for police are at that time. Authentic insight into the mores of Victorian England.

What does Michael Kitchen bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Michael Kitchen is the perfect choice for this story. His pace and accents bring Victorian England alive for the reader. This would not be the same without his perfect performance. His tone, pace and elocution are just right. When the occasion calls for it you can almost hear him insert his tongue into his cheek.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The narrative of the ploy used to enter the railroad office is particularly engaging, but so were many of the other schemes to leverage Victorian customs to the advantage of the thieves. Many of these will make you laugh out loud

Any additional comments?

Listen to this book. It was great fun from beginning to end.

All you need to know about Sherlock Holmes

Would you listen to The Complete Sherlock Holmes again? Why?

I will listen to this over and over. There are so many short stories and such a beauty of language and context, it never gets old

Who was your favorite character and why?

Sherlock comes to life over and over and you understand the author and his times

Any additional comments?

I never realized how addictive the Holmes character and stories could be until this. I could not stop listening

Production problem

Revisado: 09-20-12

What did you love best about Rules of Prey?

This was not my first Lucas Davenport and it won't be the last. The Harry Bosch of the midwest is a character that really captures and entertains me. The narration is great and really keeps you in the story

Have you listened to any of Richard Ferrone’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Richard Ferrone's performance is really great and carries the narrative along well.

Any additional comments?

There were some problems with the production however. There is not even the slightest pause between Chapters. The last word of a chapter runs right into the first word of the next. It was annoying and I first I thought I had missed something, but I began to realize that the chapters were recorded separately and assembled with no pause. Never had this experience in any other audio book.
