Better than I could have imagined!

Revisado: 12-01-22

Excellent prequel to Trevanian’s “Shibumi!” Really hope Don Winslow will agree to write more novels based on Nicholai Hel.

What? Who?

Revisado: 09-23-22

Love most of the Alistair MacLean novels but this one is bad on so many different levels. It’s supposed to be about Americans but no one in the novel sounds or acts like an American. Plot is one long series of sequences the are ludicrous.

The Start of a Long Journey

Revisado: 09-20-22

After enjoying the television series I decided it was time to go to the source and I'm glad I did. Really enjoyed "The Cold Dish" and look forward to continuing the series on Audible!

A Bit Hard to Handle

Revisado: 02-15-20

Very well written and with a host of interesting characters but also very hardcore graphic in it's violence and negative view on the world. Perhaps this is the Godfather for the 21st Century in many ways but often it portrays a world that seems without hope of redemption.

Epic Story of The Day After Tomorrow

Revisado: 02-04-20

Upon finishing "Red Metal" my first thought was; "how long do we have to wait for a sequel." It's that good! The writers put you in the middle of the action around the world with characters that ring true and create an emotional attachment to their plight. Listened to it mostly while running and it made the time go very quickly! That is a good thing!

Pritchard and Clancy Make a Great Team

Revisado: 11-10-18

I've read this novel and listened to the Audible version several times over the years. One of my favorite Clancy novels and I prefer all of them read by Michael Pritchard. Apparently there are others who don't care for his style but he has been one of my favorite audio book performers for many years beginning with the great Travis Magee novels by John D. McDonald. Based on the other Audible reviews I've read, apparently I'm in the minority but that does change my opinion about this fabulous team of Clancy & Pritchard.

Simply Exceptional in Everyday Possible

Revisado: 06-12-18

I've read it twice now and will be reading it again in the future. The best of many great novels by Larry McMurtry and one of the best reading experiences of my life. (Probably the best).

Classic and Every Best Way Possible

Revisado: 03-01-18

Where does I Am Legend rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I can't believe Audible offered this novel free of charge! I'd read it years ago and remember liking it very much but hearing it recently really brought home how good this book is. Richard Matheson was a great writer but perhaps under appreciated because of the poor film adaptions to his work.

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

First time I've listened to a novel performed by Mr. Dean. He did a wonderful job and I will be looking for other work by him.

Any additional comments?

Beyond an interest in science fiction, I'd recommend this novel to anyone interested in being fascinated and entertained in their reading. I was fortunate to get this free but would gladly have paid for it.

Best Read with Company at Hand

Revisado: 09-26-17

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

Had read the novel and seen the film before reading again via Audible. Even though I remembered the story very well, it was as if it were a new experience. Great story with memorable characters resulting in a modern classic.

Who was your favorite character and why?

It's a book filled with memorable characters but the "favorite" must be a couple not an individual. The scenes with Clarise and Hannibal are spellbinding.

What about Frank Muller’s performance did you like?

He is very good but I have to admit I had a bit of a problem listening to this recording when driving that I don't typically have with other readers. In a quite room with no distractions, however, he was perfect.

If you could rename The Silence of the Lambs, what would you call it?

Hannibal Falls in Love.

Any additional comments?

Thomas Harris is a very skilled writer and I wish he had expanded his work beyond the his first novel, "Black Sunday" and the Hannibal Lector novels.

The 2nd Time Around

Revisado: 06-19-17

Would you consider the audio edition of Tai-Pan to be better than the print version?

Both are epic and great reading experiences.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Too many to mention in so short a space.

What about Gildart Jackson’s performance did you like?

Perhaps the best read novel I've ever heard of the many I've listened to over the years.

Any additional comments?

I've read all the print Clavell novels and enjoyed them. After hearing Tai-Pan, I know I'll be enjoying the 2nd time around via audio versions.
