Quality Dresden Files

Revisado: 07-09-23

I'm new to the audio books side. Loved the written stories, and the audio is pretty good. Learned some correct pronunciations, laughed at two bad ones.

Overall a very enjoyable and faithful narration of the stories.

Llyn y Fan Fach Tavern - Jim Butcher sass at its best.

Pass.

Revisado: 05-19-23

1. The stories are hit or miss...mostly miss.
2. The Nararrations...3/4 are really bad. There is a narrator that reads two stories, that is an unlistenable torture session of horrible narration and writing.
3. Subject matter; if you're all for Predators teaming up with random Humans against six foot cockroaches,..Go ahead. If your not for Samurai Klingons joining forces with humans to defeat 6' cockroaches - PASS. Run hard and fast! the franchise is dying!

Better as a Book.

Very interesting account, from someone whom was there. The narrator's mispronounciations, make this painful.

Well Written.

Revisado: 12-13-20

Very well written account. Narrative is enjoyable and does not suffer from lapsing into "droning on" while reciting the story.

As to the source material, the author made an honest attempt to draw from contemporary sources and the journals of Stanley and Livingstone as well as the native accounts. so far as to highlight the hubris, arrogance, and racism of a White American with financial backing in the post-Civil War era of American involvement in Sub-Saharan Africa, without "grinding an axe" and ignoring the established reality of the African slave trade.

While a more objective account than a sensationalist "drag me into the story and history of this event", the narrative draws the listener into the romanticism of African exploration.

Interesting listen

Revisado: 02-25-20

Well presented, and a engagingly written narrative. Did not suffer any of the "zoning out" that usually happens when listening to a retelling of first hand experiences

Good narrations, fun to listen. Most stories are well written and entertaining. Narrators show their experience and enjoyment in reading the material.

Outstanding

Revisado: 02-19-17

This performance is simply outstanding. Cast's performance is great, the dramatized script hasn't changed the original story.

Even on the technical side, the recording is very well done. No over-dubbing or poor recording volumes on the cast's microphones. A few sound effects are a touch too loud, but nothing is perfect, and literally being just a handful of six, it actually doesn't detract from the overall.

The performance does tend to go a bit fast, but then the story is novella that is a fast read, so nothing unexpected there.

Well Done.

Enjoyable, but the overall pacing of the performance was fast, not rushed, simply told too quickly.
