Narration almost turned me off

Revisado: 04-23-25

The male narrator was terrible. The cadence was off and the voices of the character’s he did were cringey. Terrible.

Great except for the echo

The echo I’m memories was awful. Otherwise loved the performance and turning out to be my favorite of the series.

wonderful journey

I wasn't sure about it at first but once you accept the narrators voice as that of the story then you're off. It never went where I expected but then I would find myself in the "ah, of course" moments and those are what make a good story part of your own. I went in reverse order, reading 'The Gentleman in Moscow' first , which yes, was better but different. wonder once again I might just read another book Amor Towles .

not bad. a quick fun read/listen. it's entertaining living amongst the riches of the rich and this rich people problems definitely are just that, rich people problems. it was fun and I'm interested in how the movie will reflect the books since it was so different from the 1st one.

wonderful.

narrator was hard at first but she turned out to be perfection for the story. I got lost a bit at the end and felt a rush to the finish line. it was a different style than the whole book had been but overall it was a great read and I was just engulfed by the story and the historical aspect to it made me more curious about them, their lives, that time, Hitler, the people during the war, the times around the war and to be honest it has sparked some interesting conversations. wonderful.

still hooked

Revisado: 11-30-18

I thought I was going to hate the second book bc it starts off doing exactly the opposite of what I liked about the first book; it didn't stop the storyline to explain things. once you get past those first few chapters of recap and such then it's back into the story and drags you back in! I'm ready for the third.

unexpected

Revisado: 10-12-18

Hesitant at first to read the series but when a friend recommended it as "sci fi murder gossip girl" I had to find out what she was talking about. I am glad I did, it was a quick and easy listen and once you get past the robotic, weirdness of the narrator and look past some of the poor performance of characters reactions or responses it's a good listen. I like the fast pace to it, the unraveling of characters and simultaneously entwining other story lines unknowingly to them was great. I know it is a trilogy so that makes more sense as to why the ending felt so fast and final but I can't wait to see if it continues through the series.

it was hard to get into but once I made it past the first chapter, I was hooked. it was a fun playful change for me and it was delightful. I enjoyed it!
