This woman turned it around

Revisado: 11-28-23

The story had plenty of twists and laugh out loud moments. She did not allow society to dictate her outcome even though she wanted to be a socialite. I loved the use of the word fauxmily.

Suspenseful

We’ll constructed story. I could sometimes guess who did what, but yearned to hear the details. Narration was excellent.

Great American family story

Revisado: 08-03-22

Wonderfully written and very well read. Showing all points of view of this diverse family with the blinders off. This was the most recent McBride book for me, but by far the best.

Where does Gulp rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This audio was well-performed and very enlightening. I rank it high up among the non-fiction books.

What other book might you compare Gulp to and why?

I don't immediately think of a book that compares with Gulp. It is unique to me.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I would like to listen all in one sitting, but would not be able to listen for 8 hours straight in a normal day. I might go back and listen again when I am traveling.

Any additional comments?

I have become a fan of Mary Roach. She writes well and does her research. I enjoy the topics of her books.

I might listen again. The presentation was not bad.

The performance was not bad.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Excerpts from The Encyclopaedia Britannica?

I would have added more. It was very brief.

Exciting from beginning to end

Revisado: 01-30-16

Would you consider the audio edition of The Martian to be better than the print version?

I did not read the book in print.

What did you like best about this story?

The story gave enough technical details that I think someone knowledgeable would have been interested, but I, not knowing anything about engineering or space, was never bored. I may have learned a few think. It certainly sounded realistic. The adventure was believable and exciting.

What about R. C. Bray’s performance did you like?

His voice was well modulated. He added the changes for characters and I felt like I was listening to a movie. I was excited and couldn't wait to get back to the story.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Survival!

Any additional comments?

I am going to look for more performances by R. C. Bray and books by Andy Weir.
