Enjoyable read

Revisado: 07-20-24

I wasn’t sure I would enjoy this book, but I found it very enjoyable. It’s light reading, But it isn’t silly or trite. The characters all developed, by the end of the book, into new versions of themselves (with the exception of the older men). I would be happy to recommend this book to anyone looking for an enjoyable light read.

Not What I Expected

Revisado: 02-03-24

As I listened, I thought I knew where the activity was taking place. The characters were well drawn, they were multidimensional. The story carried me through to the very end, which was not what I expected, I will be happy to recommend this book to friends and family.

Not for Anyone Who Read Book 1

Revisado: 01-14-24

This book should not be purchased by anyone who read book one. It is pretty much a waste of your money and a waste of your time. Book one was good. Book two was alright. I don’t have enough life to listen to this book which is third in the series. Read something new instead of this.

Excellent

Revisado: 08-18-23

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this book from beginning right through to the end. There were several points when I felt sure I knew what the resolution would be. However, I had to reevaluate my sense of the action as the story moved along. Not only did the book hold my attention all the way through; amazingly, I do not feel the book was too long or too short. That is why I believe this book is excellent.

Amazing

Revisado: 04-18-23

The Murmur of Bees is an amazing book I don’t generally write reviews. I would encourage everyone to listen to or to read this book. There were a few laughs in the beginning the book and plenty of tears at the end. I understand this was the first book by Sofia Segovia to be translated into English. Hopefully others have been or will be translated into English. I am so glad I had the opportunity to listen to the story of The Murmur of Bees.

Interesting story

Revisado: 09-09-22

An interesting story, this book adds a different twist to familiar themes. The book was a little bit longer than it needed to be. I feel that there was repetition of the characters’ background information that was unnecessary. I don’t wish to give anything away, therefore, the only other comment I will make is that the voices of the characters were not consistent.

It ended too soon.

Revisado: 05-17-22

I have enjoyed a good number of John Irving’s books. I did not anticipate it’s ending when it’s did. I was surprised and disappointed I wanted the book to continue on.

Whining. Hours and hours of whining.

Revisado: 05-17-21

I don’t think I’m quite to the middle of the story yet but I am really annoyed. It is like listening to this man whine on and on about everything. I mean everything. Even describing where he is sounds like he’s whining. Somebody else should have performed this book.

Narration is awful.

Revisado: 12-16-20

I think I might’ve enjoyed the story in this book but I could not stand the narration. I only made it as far as chapter 2. I couldn’t go any further than that. I cannot recommend this book.
