No se pronuncian las palabras irlandés correcto

Revisado: 07-05-20

Al principio se enfoca más en los romanos que las celtas cosa que no me gustó mucho. Pero cuando al fin llego a los irlandés, se pronuncia palabras muy pero muy mal. Palabras como «samhain», «oíche» y «cú chulain». No cuesta nada buscarlas en Wikipedia y ahí encontrarás:

* samhain = /ˈsˠəu̯nʲ/
* oíche = /ˈiːhə/ (dialecto de Munster)
* cú chulainn = /kuːˈxʊlˠɪnʲ/

No podía seguir escuchándolo. Me arrepiento haber comprádolo.

Does Not Translate Well To Audio

Revisado: 07-03-15

What disappointed you about Thinking, Fast and Slow?

1. A great deal of the research is based on what if questions posed to study subjects. I question the validity of these responses.

2. Too too dry for an audio book.

3. The PDF was essential which made the experience difficult since most times I'm listening to an audio book I'm exercising or driving.

What could Daniel Kahneman have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Not sure there is anything

Would you be willing to try another one of Patrick Egan’s performances?

Yes

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Ennui

Great book marred occasionally by the narration

Revisado: 08-30-14

If you could sum up Consider the Fork in three words, what would they be?

Fascinating to read

What did you like best about this story?

It's detailed treatment of the subject.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

Overall the narration was very well done with one critical flaw. Whenever the narrator would quote a French person or an American she would adopt a French or American accent. This enormously marred the experience. For a few reasons, first in the case of the French accent it made no sense. The person she was quoting wasn't speaking in English. Second, she didn't do this for all accents. Third she did try it once for a Chinese accent and ended up sounding like a bad Indian accent.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

The affected accents were **TERRIBLE**

Any additional comments?

This is a non-fiction piece not a interpretive piece of art. NO NO NO ACCENTS!

Fantastic Story, Well Narrated

Revisado: 12-17-13

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

Can't tell yet because the print edition isn't out yet. In fact that's what prompted me to buy the audio.

What did you like best about this story?

There were a couple of things. The pacing of the story was very well done. The science was awesome. Overall, a great story.

Which scene was your favorite?

The end was very compelling.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed out loud in several places. This was aided for sure by listening to the audio version.

Any additional comments?

There is one nit for the narration. ASCII is pronounced /ˈæski/ as in Ask-ee. That killed me every time I heard it.
