Disappointed

Revisado: 07-16-19

I was expecting more from this than just the diaries of UFO hunters. The tag and the Ted talk are very misleading. He doesn't reveal anything of value to the conversation and the ending is bizarre. The book is well written, the work of the ufologists was interesting, and the performance is fine but just not what I was expecting.

Loved this book. So beautifully composed and written. Wonderful audio performance. Highly recommended. I plan to read all the books by this author.

My New Favorite Book Series of all Time

Revisado: 10-10-18

I spent the last couple of weeks absorbed by the All Souls Universe having completed each audio book (including "Times Convert"). This story is so magical and the performance in the three books of the trilogy is amazing. Deborah Harkness weaves a beautiful story jammed packed with historical facts, ancient lore, and fabulous new mythologies. If you enjoy a powerful love story or amazingly crafted fantasy this book is for you. The story is breathtaking.

More of a Radio Drama than an audiobook

Revisado: 09-11-18

This is an excellently produced production on the part of Audible. The performers do a great job with their roles. I think it needs to be pointed out though that this is more like a radio/podcast drama than a book reading. If you consider it in that frame of mind it might make the sound effects easier to tolerate. They also add atmosphere and make it more convincing that they are actually in the homes or environment of the story. My only complaint is that music between chapters is a bit much.

Hard to stop listening!

Revisado: 02-13-18

This is probably the Best Jefferson Tate mystery yet. I thought the last one couldn't be topped but he did it with this one. Can't wait for the new one coming out in August.

Plagerism

Any additional comments?

I as I was listening to this book on the section regarding Ethel I started to think that some of what I was hearing sounded very familiar. I realized later it was because a lot of it was lifted from the 2012 documentary done by Rory Kennedy. I am wondering now how much is lifted from other sources.

Great Story, Needed a better Male Narrator

Revisado: 08-23-16

Would you try another book from Cherise Sinclair and/or Wen Ross and Kai Kennicott ?

I would definitely do another Cherise Sinclair book and something by Kai Kennicott. Had issues with Wen Ross' performance however. Was surprised it went past the producer of this audiobook. His performance lacked any enthusiasm or was very bland. He also sounded nothing like I imagined Simon to sound from reading his story originally. Of course that's my personal thing.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I actually developed a new appreciation for Rona after reading this book. She seems very independent and compassionate.

Did Wen Ross and Kai Kennicott do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Kai Kennicott did a great job differentiating the characters. I had no problem telling the difference based on her using her different accents and inflections. She was great.

Wen Ross needs some work. I had no idea which man was speaking half the time because I couldn't tell the difference.

Was Simon Says: Mine worth the listening time?

Yes, mostly because it's a great story.

Any additional comments?

Chapter breaks moved too fast. Needs to be more of a pause.

Great story, So so production

Revisado: 03-08-16

Where does Beast Charming rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It doesn't rank very high simply because the production of this audiobook needs work.

What other book might you compare Beast Charming to and why?

I can't really compare it to another because I don't think I've read one like it.

Have you listened to any of Morgan Ganahl’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I haven't listened to her before.

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

Yes, mostly because of the story

Any additional comments?

The story here is the real winner. Ms. Wardell wrote a funny and engaging story. The production, however, is lacking. There are misspoken words that should have been edited out. The actual editing that's been done is very rough. The performance abruptly changes in the middle of a scene. While most of the time Ms. Ganahl's performance is right on there are times when she is just flat.

Despite this I would read more of Ms. Wardell's work.

Loved the book, the performance not so much

Revisado: 03-18-15

The content was great although I felt a little more discussion of why people find this interesting would be helpful. Narrator had a scratchy voice that was difficult to hear

Good story but...

Revisado: 12-19-12

What made the experience of listening to This Magic Moment the most enjoyable?

That it was not abridged. You really need the full story to get the full effect.

What did you like best about this story?

Despite the fact it's an old story from the 80s you really didn't feel that so much.

What aspect of Ashley Adlon’s performance would you have changed?

This performance is ok but not the greatest. Her rendition of the male voices is irritating. She mispronounces several words. Circe is pronounced Sir-see not Cerk for example. .

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

Yes

Any additional comments?

A little work on the performance and I would give it the extra stars.
