This Audible original has blown me away. Superb writing, beautiful narration, incomparable story. I am so deeply touched by this work. My only regret is I can't share it with my friend who would equally love it, but does not have Audible.

A captivating story

Revisado: 07-19-24

a wonderful story full of real people experiencing longing, grief, and basically living life. including the observations of an octopus seems like it could make the story ridiculous. instead it added to the human interest.

I don't remember putting this in my library, but clearly I needed to hear this performance. the characters are genuine, the story emotional, and the music perfection. i was mesmerized from the first minute.

so interesting and inspiring

Turns out Cassandra Peterson is the same age as me and some of the pivotal moments in her life were in Los Angeles at the time I lived there. her life is so much more than I expected. I related to much about the culture of Los Angeles at that time. her writing is straightforward and paced well. her performance of the story is excellent. even more enjoyable knowing it is her story. she had some abuse to overcome and inspired me to better understand my own history.

don't know where to begin. everything about this story is superb. it is a fantasy story told in an unusual and compelling way. the narration was equally compelling.

A great introduction to role of lightworker

Revisado: 03-25-14

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

no

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

As an introduction, I would have preferred some more time spent on how ordinary people fulfill their role as lightworkers

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Unnatural inflections, sentences with inappropriate pauses, and mispronounced words (for example "ethereal" is mispronounced 3 different ways)

What did you learn from Lightworker that you would use in your daily life?

There were many insights and explanations that were news to me

Any additional comments?

It was hard for me to respect the content of the writing due to the distraction of the bad narration. The book itself was so interesting, I pushed through the narration so I could finish the whole story.

Fascinating biography of an icon of my generation

Revisado: 11-12-12

Would you consider the audio edition of Ayn Rand and the World She Made to be better than the print version?

the audio version brings more life to the story because of the marvelous narration and characterization of Ayn Rand's voice

What did you like best about this story?

the skillful manner in which the faults in Ayn Rand's philosophy are exposed, as the author's reasons as to how Rand's childhood experiences formed her philosophy of rationalism.

What does Bernadette Dunne bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Her voice is reminiscent of that of actress Kate Mulgrew (of Captain Janeway fame). Her husky deep female voice, and the unique emotional quality of her narration, is perfect to tell the story of this famous woman. And perfect also in capturing her Russian accent.

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

I couldn't stop listening. It was compelling, both the writing and narration

Any additional comments?

My first husband was a devotee of Ayn Rand's philosophy and we spent long hours talking about how make it our life philosophy. My husband was completely devoted to these ideas. This occurred at the height of her popularity. I will never forget her impact on our lives. I read all her books. Nevertheless, I had problems accepting certain aspects of her rational beliefs. I will never forget those times and her impact on our lives. This biography is fascinating in the way it presents a very human Ayn Rand and how her charisma convinced so many to worship her.

A great read

What made the experience of listening to The Lock Artist the most enjoyable?

Original story. Excellent writing. Superb characters by narrator. Non-stop entertainment. Hard to categorize. A coming of age story about a rebellious young man who survived a traumatic childhood event. Scary characters, but not too gory. No gratuitous sex. Not psychotic. I loved it.
