Adventurous YA Fantasy

Revisado: 10-25-15

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

This is fun for younger listeners. The characters are both humanoid and various fantastical beings that engage in mythic adventures to thwart an evil foe. Narrator does a good job expressing the heightened emotions and action scenes.

Fluff Lite

Any additional comments?

Even for this campy genre the characters are flat and story uninspired. The romantic action is surprisingly tame. Considering the premise is paranormal mmf erotic endeavors involving tickling sci-fi toys, bondage swing and fertility based servitude it was disappointingly mild ("feminine mound" is about as anatomically explicit as it gets). BBW aspect is not discussed, or mentioned so briefly as to be irrelevant to the book notwithstanding mention in it's title. The overall story length could have been reduced by half without losing any plot points, as the protagonist internal monologue is so redundant.

All this considered Meghan Kelly narrates excellently. Her tone is playful and seems privy to the absurdity of this fantasy, without judgement. She does distinct voices for several characters without confusion. Despite the weakness of the author's work, it was great reading on her part.

Future Hellscape

Revisado: 09-10-15

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

It is about a dystopian GMO holocaust, and very well crafted story. The last human survivor of some sort of plague shares how things went wrong, with the strange humanoid creatures that now populate Earth. The narration is very good, Campbell Scott conveys the various swinging emotions of the main character. The odd cadence of the "Craker" speech was fun to hear as well

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

It's an absurd little story book but one I remember fondly from childhood, a different recording on cassette was my first ever audiobook! This one is good too, the weird tale holds up for kids today

How Spiderman, Jesus, Frodo & Bambi are so alike

Revisado: 09-10-15

Any additional comments?

This is audio of some interviews (a TV series) it is weird. I wish it was just the book instead (published later based on these discussions) but that does not exist. The subject is about hero myths, many insightful comparisons from various stories popular and historical by an expert. The format feels somewhat like a podcast though, and it also seems like there were visual components missed with the audiobook format

Excellence

Any additional comments?

This is really great, I would highly recommend a listen! I have never read the Shakespeare play but have seen a few movie versions. Details of the story are explained in depth, also imagined to fill in the novel. The narration is perfect! Richard Armitage plays every single character with distinguished voices. I will definitely listen to this again and am excited to get the similar version of MacBeth

Not the stuffy classic I was expecting

Revisado: 09-10-15

What made the experience of listening to Heart of Darkness: A Signature Performance by Kenneth Branagh the most enjoyable?

I wasn't assigned to read this in school, but it was a good whispersync deal. Learning that the film "Apocalypse Now" was based on the story also inspired me to listen.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Kurtz is a mysterious and intriguing real big baddie. So much of the book examines him, though he is present in the story only a brief time

What about Kenneth Branagh’s performance did you like?

His voice acting displays many emotions as the tone of the story changes. It is easy to understand which characters speak. He is excellent!
