Peter M

Not terribly disappointed, but also not thrilled

Revisado: 01-24-24

This set of Peter Wimsey mysteries was just okay. Given the apparent age of the recordings, I can understand some issues. But the stories went on and on, and there was confusion as to who is who, due to the voices all sounding so similar.

GREAT STORY. TERRIBLE NARRATOR

Revisado: 01-18-23

This is actually an excellent and intriguing story. However, reader/narrator Matt Godfrey is terrible. Since he never changes his voice tone between and among characters, it is impossible if he is quoting a character in the story or just reading the narrative. Also, every single one of his characters sounds exactly the same, so it is impossible to tell who is speaking, which makes this story almost impossible to discern. He also never changes his inflections, making it all the more difficult.

Great Story! Terrible Narrator!

Revisado: 01-24-22

This story was engaging and the characters were very likable. The only problem was the narrator. Because he does not bother--or not know how--to have any sort of differences in his voice among the characters, everyone sounds exactly the same, read with the same monotonous tone and inflections, so unless the author gives a signal (such as, "he said" or "she replied"), you have no idea who is speaking.

Good Story But Bizarre Presentation

Revisado: 01-22-20

This story takes a while to get going, but once you get to around Chapter 7, it gets better. Unfortunately, the audio book narration is not good. Every character presented, even the male characters, sound like either Betty Boop or some variation of an elderly Katherine Hepburn.

Excellent resource from John MacArthur

Revisado: 02-27-19

this book, like so many other John MacArthur resources, was phenomenally well written. I especially loved the last chapter discussing the milieu in which Isaiah prophesied. So helpful.

Excellent And Unpredictable Story

Revisado: 02-21-19

Bell is a phenomenal writer and this story was both compelling and well-paced. I really enjoyed both the story and the narrator's excellent interpretations of the characters.

This story was extremely well - written, and the audio performance was exceptional. The reader's inflections and interpretation were perfect.

Truly Captivating, But Sometimes Hard To Relate

Revisado: 03-22-18

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I would definitely recommend this book especially to a Muslim seeking to know more about his own faith, as well as that of Christians.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

While overall I understood why he did so, I felt that the build-up to his conversion took way too long, was too detailed and laborious.

What three words best describe Nabeel Qureshi’s performance?

Nabeel reads his story well, and given that it is his own life story, he read it with devotion and passion.

Did Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus inspire you to do anything?

It helped me to understand Muslims better.

Any additional comments?

I was a little unnerved at times by what seemed to be charismatic and faith healing elements in this story, especially given that Nabeel was not helped by that spectrum of society. However, overall Nabeel’s conversion story is intriguging and extremely inspirational.

Another Excellent Dan Walsh Story!

Revisado: 03-22-18

If you could sum up Remembering Dresden in three words, what would they be?

I am a Dan Walsh fan, and this book did not disappoint. I like the way he holds back on a plot twist until one is way into the book, and then puts it out there. This is well written, nicely paced story.

What did you like best about this story?

I like the way Dan Walsh develops characters along the way.

What about Kirby Heyborne’s performance did you like?

His reading is very good, while at times a little stilted.

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

Actually I like to be able to listen to a book on my drive home from work each day, so the fact that I can look forward to this stretching into a few weeks is very rewarding for me—it is like an adventure I can enter into each afternoon as I drive home.

Any additional comments?

I hope Dan Walsh writes something more in the Jack Turner series.

Good, but somewhat pedestrian

Revisado: 12-16-17

I am a huge Jan Karon fan and have been for years. While I looked very much forward to this book’s release, I sadly did not find this book to be as good as some prior ones. The story was slow and monotonous at points, seeming to lose direction, or perhaps grasping for something to talk about. I do love Ms. Karon’s wholesome, clean and meaningful writing. But this story’s day-to-day recounting of people’s pedestrian lives was a bit exhausting after several chapters. The last chapter or two were much better, and the book ended well.
