Another gripping Joe Picket book

Revisado: 03-15-24

This story is so well written. I wanted to keep reading it, but so terrifying that I wanted to put it down. CJBox won, and I finished the story. I’m glad I did. Keep it up CJBoz. You terrify and fascinate me from only one state away.

Truth is Better Than Fiction

Revisado: 03-18-21

I grew up reading and re-reading all the Herriot books. The original All Creatures was fairly true to the original books, but the new All Creatures takes liberties with the stories and characters that are disconcerting and disappointing. The Yorkshire Vet is back to facts. I love it. I’ll have to go watch The Yorkshire Vet series and see all the action hinted at in this book. Thank you, Peter Wright! And thank you, Christopher Timothy, for your great narration.

I love these Christmas stories!

Revisado: 02-12-20

They are all delightful! Not too sappy, or too predictable. Engaging and funny, and thoughtful, and with a message about Christmas in every one. Even the space invaders fit into the collection perfectly.

They are performed well, too. (Can’t forget the wonderful people who read them to me!)

My new comfort Christmas collection, to be read at any time of the year.

Much cheering!

Revisado: 01-24-20

I related so much to the main character (don’t know why, as I’m not an orphan) that I found myself cheering her on—out loud—several times during the story! I don’t do that!

Great characters, great story, great setting.

Amazing!

Revisado: 06-20-17

This performance was amazing! I've never been inside the mind of a werewolf until I listened to Ray Porter perform this book. I couldn't stop listening. I wish and hope there are more stories.

A classic

Revisado: 05-13-17

I have always loved Anne''s story! I read it to all of my girls. Now it reminds me so much of them when they were 11 and 13 and 16.

A classic.

Comfort Read

Revisado: 09-01-16

This is one of my all-time favorites! The narrator did an exceptional job with the accents, and was very clear. I guess he could have paused a little longer between parts of conversation, just so I'd know there was a change of person, but I was able to follow it all. The characters were excellently developed, and the story is full of surprising twists.

Amazing story, amazing performance

Revisado: 10-11-15

Connie Willis is an excellent storyteller. Her characters are distinct and interesting and believable and human. I love these characters and I love the story of both Blackout and All Clear. Connie Willis obviously did incredible amounts of research before writing this. It makes you feel as if you had experienced the Blitz first-hand.

Top 5 pick

Revisado: 06-10-15

One of my top 5 favorite books.
The characters are excellent and real. The plot is riveting. Plenty of (well-researched) history. Delightful sense of humor throughout. The descriptions of the scenes are vivid and realistic, sometimes referring you **forward** to later periods of history. (It will make sense when you read it. I promise.) You also get a good idea of Victorian norms. #Victorian #Funny #RuralGreatBritain #TimeTravel #Tagsgiving #Sweepstakes

A Normal Apartment Building. Or Is It?

Revisado: 09-25-12

If you could sum up 14 in three words, what would they be?

Deceptive. Exciting. Challenging.

What other book might you compare 14 to and why?

I can't compare 14 to any other book I've ever read, but it seems very like many Dr. Who episodes I've seen over the years. Everything seems normal. Quirks can be explained away rationally. Then something happens, and suddenly nothing makes sense.

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

I've never heard any of Ray Porter's performances, but I'd listen to another one, given the opportunity.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I could not believe the twists and turns the plot took!
