SUPERB! Dan Steven's reading touches our hearts.
Revisado: 03-17-15
Would you consider the audio edition of The Heroes' Welcome to be better than the print version?
absolutely !
Who was your favorite character and why?
Riley. His perseverance in the face of adversity. His war wounds, both mental and physical as a result of WW I never hold him back from being a successful and functioning human being. His efforts are so noble.
What does Dan Stevens bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
His exceptional talent as a reader makes the characters more distinct and alive ! He is the best reader in the industry of audible books.
Any additional comments?
Please hire Dan Stevens to read as many books as possible and I'd also like to see more works by Louisa Young put into audio form.

East London, 1888 - a city apart. A place of shadow and light where thieves, whores, and dreamers mingle, where children play in the cobbled streets by day and a killer stalks at night, where bright hopes meet the darkest truths. Here, by the whispering waters of the Thames, Fiona Finnegan, a worker in a tea factory, hopes to own a shop one day, together with her lifelong love, Joe Bristow, a costermonger's son. With nothing but their faith in each other to spur them on, Fiona and Joe struggle, save, and sacrifice to achieve their dreams.

- De: Lucinda Riley

Historical romance at It's BEST !!!!
Revisado: 01-20-14
What did you love best about The Midnight Rose?
I love the format of "then" (1918) and now and how gracefully Lucinda Riley's words dance between the two separate time periods. Midnight Rose provides a perfect balance of historical facts mixed in with a heavy dose of romance !!!!!!!!!!
What does Anjana Srinivasan bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
She has a wide range of charater voices and does of perfect job bouncing between the tight repressed voices of the Brits and the emotionally abadoned voices of the indian characters.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Any additional comments?
How long to we have to wait for the next Lucinda Riley book ???
She is on my list of FAV's !!!!!!!!!!!

Twenty years ago, 16-year-old Tara Martin disappeared from a small town in the heart of England. Now, her sudden return and the mind-bending tale of where she’s been will challenge our very perception of the truth. For 20 years after Tara Martin disappeared, her parents and her brother, Peter, lived in denial of the grim fact that she was gone for good. Then suddenly on Christmas Day, the doorbell rings at her parents’ home, and there, dishevelled and slightly peculiar looking, Tara stands. It’s a miracle, but alarm bells are ringing for Peter. Tara’s story just does not add up.

Graham Joyce: Not To Be Missed !
Revisado: 07-21-13
If you could sum up Some Kind of Fairy Tale in three words, what would they be?
Modern Day Fairytale !
What did you like best about this story?
It is an adult fairy tale meant to challenge, inspire and lead the reader down creative paths that have never been followed.
What about John Lee’s performance did you like?
John Lee is ALWAYS good. But since he read Ken Folletts' "Pillars Of The Earth" so well and with such distiction, there were times when I felt like I was back in the world of Follett rather than Joyce.
Any additional comments?
Graham Joyce is an important writer for our time and none of his books should go un-read.

A southern tale need's a southern narrator!
Revisado: 02-20-13
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I loved the writing, but even though the author was in awe of Frank Muller's narration, it drove me crazy. It's such a traditional southern gothic tale.
It screams to be read with a southern accent!
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
The characters. Southern gothic a la Tennesee Williams ...
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Made it impossible to read!
Could you see The Prince of Tides being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
It was and I hated B. Streisand as the therapist !!!!!!! Nick Nolte should have had
a southern accent as well !
Any additional comments?
In spite of the sale price, I still wish I had not wasted my time attempting to read it.
