What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

I don't know. . FIRST.. the story line [if you can call it that] was completely camouflaged by side stories that added next to nothing to the [so called] plot. partway through the story, you begin to loose interest and then [as I did] you don't finish the book.

Would you ever listen to anything by Eric Van Lustbader again?

I don't know..

Would you be willing to try another one of Holter Graham’s performances?

yes

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

disappointment

Any additional comments?

no

WHAT STORY?

Revisado: 02-09-15

What would have made The Gunslinger better?

A plot that can be followed

What do you think your next listen will be?

something by Lee Child

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

He was great BUT he needed an understandable tale to narrate

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Gunslinger?

all

Any additional comments?

the writing was brilliant, the words ,just, flowed but there was nowhere to flow to. King's writing kept you turning the pages BUT, the next page was as disappointing as the last.
No real story , tale, substance. a well written boring novel

silva at his best

What made the experience of listening to The Heist the most enjoyable?

the writing , narration complicated plot.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Heist?

It had to be the end. .what a surprising but wonderful end to a superb story

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

yes.. His work is first class...

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

Lost Art?

Any additional comments?

I know ,almost, nothing about Art but that didn't matter. The story made me feel like I knew Art [in a confused way]. I understood the story line so some of the descriptions were color added to the tale. Must read

RIVETING

Revisado: 01-16-15

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. It's well written and the narration is first class

What did you like best about this story?

I understood nothing until the next paragraph and the unfolding of the tale was puzzling until the next page. At times, I was lost in the story. I could not put my Kindle down. It was SO mind grabbing and unique . The concept ,idea, story line were a challenge that you must involve.

Have you listened to any of Paul Michael Garcia’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

no.

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

yes , it was, BUT, I'm 80 years old and need my naps.

Any additional comments?

RIVETING.. a must read or listen

Disappointing U.S. Air Force manual on high tech

Revisado: 12-09-14

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Less high tech language on air craft and weapons and more on people involved in the story.
you had the feeling that you were listening to an Air Force Manual on aircraft. (BORING)

What could Dale Brown and Jim DeFelice have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Improve the story line . STOP trying to fill the pages of your short story to make it into a novel with all this HIGH TECH [for want of a better word] blabber, that most of your readers don't understand. Surely, you can do better?

Would you listen to another book narrated by Christopher Lane?

Lane is first class...Super

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Armageddon?

SEE ABOVE^^

Any additional comments?

I listened to your book because I purchased it but was very disappointed with it.

Faraway...her best work....

Revisado: 10-15-14

Where does The Long Way Home rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

very ,very, very ,very, near the top....

What other book might you compare The Long Way Home to and why?

Because of it's difference in approach, storyline, depth, entanglement of the lives ,present and past, from Three Pines residents into the susurrus, soft , cast of this page grabbing Mystery, I pause to compare this work with any that I have read. It's whole makeup is different..

What does Ralph Cosham bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

EVERYTHING

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

Yes, BUT, it took me four sittings[I'm eighty years old] so I need my naps.

Any additional comments?

I believe that I have read all Penny's books and I keep coming back for more.{WHAT TALENT}

Not one of his best.

Revisado: 07-25-14

What did you like best about Mr. Mercedes? What did you like least?

The storyline was interesting and kept you hooked until near the end.
The end was drawn out and ,so unlike the great writing of King.
It would remind you of the ending of a Grade B movie.
It took the edge off the whole novel.

Would you recommend Mr. Mercedes to your friends? Why or why not?

Yes...But I would preface my recommend with...Good but not Great..

Did Will Patton do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

all around GREAT.

Do you think Mr. Mercedes needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

No.. Nothing left to tell.

Any additional comments?

I've read other work by King and enjoyed every book to various degrees,but,I must say,this was not his best work..

Lee Child's good one

Revisado: 06-10-14

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

the yarn is well written,The narration is 1st class.the story held your intrest to the end.

What does Dick Hill bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I've listened to many books and Dick Hill is,beyond doubt,one of the best in the audio book field

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

YES...We could have done without the lovemaking scenes.It degrades ,what is a well written book,and cheapens it downward,adding nothing of importance to the story.
