Where is George Guidall when you need him
Revisado: 12-17-16
I have thoroughly enjoyed Sr. P-R's work in both English and Spanish; Audible and written. I believe this novel is probably as good as my favorite, La Carta Esferica/The Nautical Chart, but It is very difficult to listen to this dry narration.

Richard Papen had never been to New England before his 19th year. Then he arrived at Hampeden College and quickly became seduced by the sweet, dark rhythms of campus life—in particular by an elite group of five students, Greek scholars, worldly, self-assured, and at first glance, highly unapproachable. Yet as Richard was accepted and drawn into their inner circle, he learned a terrifying secret that bound them to one another...a secret about an incident in the woods in the dead of night where an ancient rite was brough to brutal life...and lead to a gruesome death.

anyone
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Secret History?

What would have made The Amber Keeper better?
Find a narrator who can read without breathily drawling the end of every line. Hokey sounding and overdramatic on every sentence regardless of context.
Would you ever listen to anything by Freda Lightfoot again?
I don't know
What didn’t you like about Susan Duerden’s performance?
Everything
What character would you cut from The Amber Keeper?
I couldn't guess
Any additional comments?

Molly Harper's other works are humorous, interesting and fun. This was boring, plotless,stilted and the erotica was flavorless even before the umpteenth reprise.

The story takes place in Wyoming territory in the 1870s. Will Roberts, a drifting cowboy wanders into the little sleepy town of El Dorado.

While reluctantly sharing a table with a grubby stinky prospector he is drawn into a gunfight and saves the man's life. Salty, the prospector, rewards Will with half interest in his gold mine. Later that day will meets Victoria and falls madly in love with her.

Revisado: 12-23-14
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
Start over
What could Bella Forrest have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Write a better story
How did the narrator detract from the book?
The female narrator read with a repetitious cadence that bore no relation to the meaning of the text and was frankly motion-sickness inducing.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from A Shade of Vampire, Book 1?
All the ones I heard.
Any additional comments?

What happened to the unabridged format?
Revisado: 02-11-09
I came to Audible.com to purchase the unabridged format of this book. Davina Porter has done a very credible job of rendering Ms. Gabaldon's fiction, in contrast, Geraldine James reads hurriedly, with little affect or feel for the characters or story. I had already purchased this piece of misery through iTunes, and thought I was buying something better this time. Nobody need two copies of this horrid rendition.
