Trainwreck

Revisado: 07-11-20

A story told jumping back and forth from 4 time points and two characters (I think). The time point is clear but who is talking is not. After ending the book I have no idea what happened. A convoluted story between two girls/women that had potential. I like stories that jump around but I don’t know if the voice for the characters wasn’t different enough but I just couldn’t figure out who was talking and who was telling the actual store, who was crazy... too confusing.

Confusing

Revisado: 07-11-20

It’s a good idea and we’ll executed throughout. A bit of a weak ending in my opinion. I don’t want to give it away but there’s a twist at the end that left a bad taste in my mouth so to speak. Ok overall.

Very slow and abrupt ending.

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

If the story had been better distributed throughout the length of the book instead of drilling on irrelevant details and delivering all the thrilling part at the end. I was tempted to quit several times.

Would you ever listen to anything by Julia Heaberlin again?

Not likely

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

Haven't heard the narrator before, but I would listen to another book narrated by her.

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

The story itself is good, it is just poorly told.

Any additional comments?

No

Quit in the second chapter. Unbearable.

Good story but slow like molasses

Would you try another book from Kate Morton and/or Caroline Lee?

No

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

I would make it more linear, less jumping around in time. Also, not building up tension to just break it up without resolving and jumping to another time and character.

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

No.

Do you think The Lake House needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

No

Any additional comments?

The idea of the story was good but it was stretched out too much and it didn't flow well.

Such a disappointment!

Revisado: 07-06-15

Would you try another book from E. L. James and/or Zachary Webber?

E.L. James, unlikely. Zachary Weber probably.

Which character – as performed by Zachary Webber – was your favorite?

Christian Grey. His voice for Grey was awesome, his voice for Ana not so much.

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

Definitely disappointment. A guy would never have that kind of self talk. It lacks depth, we learn nothing that we didn't assume from the first book. I will not purchase the follow ups.

Any additional comments?

It could have been so much more.

It's a book to be read, not listened

Would you try another book from Amy Stewart and/or Coleen Marlo?

Sure, but in print form

Would you ever listen to anything by Amy Stewart again?

If the book is along the same line I would consider the print form but not the audio f

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

yes

Do you think The Drunken Botanist needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

I didn't finish because I couldn't properly follow the text without seeing it.

Any additional comments?

I'm considering buying the print form because the information was very interesting, just that I couldn't properly follow.

Can't get past the narration

Revisado: 04-19-15

What disappointed you about The Girl with a Clock for a Heart?

The narration. The voice is flat, no intention, no emotion, nothing.

What was most disappointing about Peter Swanson’s story?

I can't get into the story because the narration makes it so boring I have a hard time following the plot. I quit after the second chapter.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

See above

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

Annoyance.

LOVED it!

Revisado: 04-12-15

What did you love best about The Husband's Secret?

Liane Moriarty always delivers. It's not just the secret, which is unexpected, but what comes after. Loved the way she treated the issues that it unraveled.

Who was your favorite character and why?

It's so hard to choose... I think what I like best is the way Moriarty looks at one event through different people.

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

The Australian accent reminded me that the story was set in Austrialia, with the little details that make the setting of a story special and unique.

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

The price of curiosity

Any additional comments?

Highly recommended.

What did you like best about Hero? What did you like least?

The concept, the idea was good. A gay super hero, with a super hero mother and a hero wanna be father. But the descriptions weren't detailed enough and the characters were not well developed

Has Hero turned you off from other books in this genre?

Yup.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Michael Urie?

I won't go looking for books he narrated but I won't avoid him either.

Could you see Hero being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Maybe. Maybe the visual aspect adds enough detail to make the story more complete.
