Supposed to be Mystery and Thriller

Revisado: 09-06-23

It was a reasonably decent story line, but this book should have been in the romance section as there was almost as much sex and love interest as there was real story. I would not recommend it as a true mystery book. It was seriously miss labled.

Another great book from James Lee Burke

Revisado: 01-20-19

When you listen to or read a James Lee Burke book you are transported into the story. He describes in full detail the scene that is happening at the moment without being tedious or boring, completely immersing you in the action you are surrounded by the story and the characters. His characters are real and well developed, you can read one in the series and know their history without pages of detail. Will Patton is a great reader and one of my favorites. In my mind he is Dave Robicheaux and there should be no other reader. He reads Burke's novels like they are written, in descriptive prose with inflections to match. I am not going to go into the story that is what the previews are for, except to say that it is another great James Lee Burke story. You will not regret spending the credit.

This book is not about American Pharoah

Revisado: 05-13-18

This book is about the racing industry, not about the horse. What was written about American Pharoah the horse could have been put in ten pages and lasted 36 minutes and not 8 hours. The written intro on Audible is very misleading. If it were not free, it would definitely not be worth a credit.

See the Movie First

Revisado: 02-26-17

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

This is a historical narrative of the struggles of the African American people and of three women who were instrumental in the first landing on the moon. If the book were the actual story of these three women it would have been a very good book, but there is so much about the struggles of their race that their story gets lost. I would hope that the move is better. I am seriously thinking of returning the book.

What could Margot Lee Shetterly have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Actually tell the story of these three exceptional women.

What three words best describe Robin Miles’s voice?

Can't think of any

Was Hidden Figures worth the listening time?

NO

Much better than some reviews stated

Revisado: 11-17-16

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

I would recommend this book it was well written.

What did you like best about this story?

The pace of the story was fast, it did not get mired in unrelated ideas.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

The narrator was not the best that I have listened to, but was not nearly as bad as some of the other listeners seemed to think. Their reviews of this narrator almost made me not get the book, I am glad I took the chance.

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

No, but there are very few books that I really want to listen to in one sitting.

Any additional comments?

This book is worth the credit. There is no real reason to not get it just because the reader is not your favorite.

Matthew Corbett Novels

Revisado: 02-04-13

Where does The Queen of Bedlam rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

The Queen of Bedlam would rank in the middle of the audiobooks that I've listenen to.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Matthew Corbett was my favorite character because he is driven to find the truth and goes all out to do so even if it means putting himself in danger. I think that his character should "man" up though and make his role as avenger more realistic.

What about Edoardo Ballerini’s performance did you like?

Edoardo Ballerini makes the characters come alive.

If you could take any character from The Queen of Bedlam out to dinner, who would it be and why?

I would like to take Matthew Corbett to dinner and explain to him that being an unassuming guy is ok, but in a pinch and in grave danger he should know how to defend himself and those he is helping realistically instead of like a scared girl.

Any additional comments?

It is a good listen. I did like "Speaks the Nightbird" better than "The Queen of Bedlam" but would still recomend the book.

Would you listen to The Caine Mutiny again? Why?

The Caine Mutiny was an interesting read. I'm not big on military novels but this one kept me listening.

Another great story from Stephen King.

Revisado: 04-06-12

As always Stephen King has a twisted spin on a story. I'v not listen or read a book by him that I did not like. His story line is just left of center enough, and as syfy goes, just maybe could be believable as real. Great author!!

Alas Babylon

Revisado: 02-12-11

I love listening to Will Patton, he makes a story come alive and you want the story to go on and on.. The book is a great listen, and even though written in the 1950's is still a real possibility today.. I highly recomend it.
