Another Good Trollope Tale

Revisado: 06-23-24

I very much enjoyed this Trollope story. A bit different from some of his others but it held my interest and kept me wondering how it would play out. I thought the narration was quite good. Many have noted some occasional extraneous noise but this was rare and barely noticeable. Hardly a problem.

Also, this narrator announced the beginning and end of each chapter. This is unusual but I experienced it with a couple other books. I rather like it since I prefer to pause my listening at the end of a chapter. Much better this way than the recordings that rush into the next chapter without a pause. Just my thoughts.

All in all a good listen.

Excellent!

A course that everyone should take, but is sadly missing from our schools. I left lots of bookmarks so I could return to them. Well done.

Not the best but still good.

The Ladies #1 Detective Agency novels never fail to entertain and warm the heart. This was no exception even though it wasn’t one of the best. The new narrator for this volume, Adjoa Andoh, did a beautiful job with her narration and the voice for Mma Ramotswe.

However, I agree that the other character voices were not as good and jarringly different from what we have come to know after 20 books with Lisett Lecat, a very hard act to follow. Still, I enjoyed the visit back to Botswana and our friends there.

Interesting

A very interesting story of Sears and a bit of nostalgia for those of us with fond memories of the store, it’s catalogs and Christmas wish books. So sad they could not turn around again. I miss the “Big Store”

Preachy

Revisado: 03-29-22

Although there is some good info, it is really nothing new. The same ideas are better done in other books (Kondo’s for one). Plus this one gets over the top preachy and verging on an agenda.

Excellent story & performance

Revisado: 12-24-21

The first time I’ve read the actual book vs. the movie. So much different and I think it is Verne’s best. I sampled several readers before settling on this one. James Langton was the best and we thoroughly enjoyed his narration. Highly recommend this version of The Mysterious Island.

Well Done Translation & Performances

Revisado: 03-29-21

Excellent translation. Understandable, but retained the poetry and feel of the original. The readers were all excellent also. The stories themselves were just alright, but I always wanted to read them and as another reviewer said, I’m glad to get them under my belt.

Brilliantly written ...

Revisado: 11-27-19

And brilliantly read. A much needed common sense wake up call for our time. I look forward to reading Douglas Murray’s other books now.
