Bedtime?

Revisado: 10-15-23

This has nothing todo with sleep. Sort of dumb stories. Sample first before buying it

Not a good voice

Revisado: 10-15-23

Not a good voice for sleeping. Too soft and childlike unless you like this kind of style

Best way to learn a language

Revisado: 04-21-17

Would you consider the audio edition of Spanish Level 5 to be better than the print version?

Listening and speaking is the way to learn a language. You can conjugate verbs forever and never learn how to use them in conversation. This system makes you think and then speak. Then you get to hear a Spanish native speaker say it correctly. I know nothing else as good as this program.

What about Pimsleur’s performance did you like?

native language speakers

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

no

An important insight

Revisado: 12-03-13

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

We are all aware of the Jim Crow laws and the plight of the blacks but this book puts literal teeth into the horrors of slave treatment after emancipation. It traces the lives of various slaves as they find life in the south unbearable and dangerous and thus migrate to the north. I had no idea the numbers were in the millions. An important read.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Each of the characters has such a unique perspective I cannot choose one. I learned something new from each of them.

Which scene was your favorite?

I found the scenes from the railroad conductor particularly moving.

Stupid story line

Revisado: 12-03-13

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

If this book had even a moment of reality I would have given it at least 2 stars. It is so far fetched and ridiculous I couldn't even finish it. I would call it an insult to intelligence.

Would you ever listen to anything by Mark Greaney again?

No

Which character – as performed by Jay Snyder – was your favorite?

None

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

None that I can think of.

Dissapointed

Revisado: 08-17-13

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Not much keeps the reader excited and moving forward.

What was most disappointing about Tana French’s story?

Great prose and writing but it has no tension.

What about Steven Crossley’s performance did you like?

He is a real pro. Wonderful character voices. If he were not reading this tedious book I would never have continued.

Do you think In the Woods needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Don't bore me more.

Urrea does it again

Revisado: 04-01-13

What did you love best about Queen of America?

I loved Urrea's narration. He is a funny and animated reader and of course since he wrote the book, all the little nuances are included in the reading. His love of his characters comes through in his voice.
The book itself is a description of a part of Mexico few know about. It's an important work to describe people that have been stereotyped. We see the real lives of real individuals. How people living in abject poverty still have dignity, generosity and determination.

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

I was particularly moved when the struggling kids where rescued by a couple that lived in an abandoned dump. Funny delightful people that had next to nothing and yet were willing to share the little they had.
