It was slow, I had to bump it up to 1.5 to get through it, in pacing and in performance. I am not sure how this story got included the set as I did not see a bit of tech that went awry. If it wasn’t free I would return it.

Would you listen to The Screwtape Letters again? Why?

I find in very interesting how the author turns the tenants of Christianity. To have daily trials and tribulations, decisions made and consequences earned, interpreted in a different light was fun.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Screwtape Letters?

A caterpillar. Really???

What about Ralph Cosham’s performance did you like?

Great job.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

It's hard to be good... Now you know why...

Good story - Narration Not So

Revisado: 04-08-14

What made the experience of listening to Ringworld's Children the most enjoyable?

Concluding the forth book of the series. I know there are more but I may just stop here.

What other book might you compare Ringworld's Children to and why?

Any other Ringworld book, Fuzzy Planet, and Old Mans War. All deal with interaction with alien entities, learning about new ways of thinking about things.

What didn’t you like about Barrett Whitener’s performance?

I think is should be required to listen to the other audio books in a series before one sets out to narrate. There were SEVERAL character names and Item names that were just wrong. Key example - FLUP - Barrett kept pronouncing it FLUPE... nowhere in the book does it have a long U. As stated character names have the same issue.

The reading was slow and without much emotion. It teetered on boring... RingWorld is not boring. Though Barrett tried to use different voices to distinguish the different characters he sis not do so well.

There were several time I almost stopped but I could not find this book read by someone else.

The previous 3 books were done by 2 different narrators and either would have made this book much more enjoyable.

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

No

Any additional comments?

Really and truly… it should be a requirement to review the pronunciation of the established items and characters in a book series, any book series. Imagine reading a Star Wars book where Luke becomes Luk and Vader becomes Vadder or a Star Trek book where Picard is Pickerd. It is very annoying.
