Historia
The Demon Lord is dead. The System is broken. Somehow, Elias Hearthsong is neither of these things, despite being at the final battle of the Demon Wars. He is a Master Enchanter, perhaps the last one alive. Determined to keep a promise, he crosses the continent to protect his dead friend's legacy: a crumbling orphanage run by a beautiful kitsune. He isn't a teacher, nor does he have experience with children. But with the love of a few good women, anything can become possible.

A weeb wrote this.
Revisado: 08-28-23
Maybe it's my fault for coming off my English major and deciding to dip my toe into fantasy romance with spicy scenes, but this was unbearable.
This whole rpg element was unnecessary and drew me out of the book. It made no sense and added nothing to the story. Adding this, on top of deciphering characters' decisions, made it impossible, as the characters were already unbelievable and scripted as if it were an anime.
I might have liked this as a weeb teenager, but this sounds like an anime/hentai. Maybe it's jarring for me because if I wanted a hentai, I'd look online and not see it in the form of literature.

Historia
To the Lighthouse is Virginia Woolf’s arresting analysis of domestic family life, centering on the Ramseys and their visits to the Isle of Skye in Scotland in the early 1900s. Nicole Kidman (Moulin Rouge, Eyes Wide Shut), who won an Oscar for her portrayal of Woolf in the film adaptation of Michael Cunningham’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel
The Hours, brings the impressionistic prose of this classic to vibrant life.

Historia
English magicians were once the wonder of the known world, with fairy servants at their beck and call; they could command winds, mountains, and woods. But by the early 1800s they have long since lost the ability to perform magic. They can only write long, dull papers about it, while fairy servants are nothing but a fading memory.

This is the best story I've ever heard.
Revisado: 07-16-18
I tried to listen to the other Frankenstein audiobook on here, the one with a fancy cover ( you know the one). That one was a little more expensive. It was god awfull. They gave the creature a sad melancholic voice.
In this version, the voices are spot on, and all the characters are brought to life. If you want to enjoy Frankenstein fully, get this version!

Historia
Narrator Dan Stevens ( Downton Abbey) presents an uncanny performance of Mary Shelley's timeless gothic novel, an epic battle between man and monster at its greatest literary pitch. In trying to create life, the young student Victor Frankenstein unleashes forces beyond his control, setting into motion a long and tragic chain of events that brings Victor to the very brink of madness. How he tries to destroy his creation, as it destroys everything Victor loves, is a powerful story of love, friendship, scientific hubris, and horror.

Creature was too Melancholic
Revisado: 05-24-18
I've heard another person perform this story and I understand this is the revised edition, but the text of the creature is relatively the same but the person performing it made it sound so sad and melancholic that it wasn't as frightening as all the characters were making it out to be. The creature should be growling, a low baritone; Not some romantic whose wailing is just annoying to listen to.

A perfect combo for narrator and story
Revisado: 05-11-18
I've heard Simon Vance in another audiobook and I couldn't tell if it was the story or the narrators delivery. turns out it was the story because this performance of The Time Machine was really enjoyable with this narrator.

Historia
With his trademark mirth and boundless charisma, actor Nick Offerman brought the loveable shenanigans of Twain's adolescent hero to life in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Now, in yet another virtuosic performance, the actor proves that despite being separated by a span of over a century, his connection to the author and his work is undeniable and that theirs is a timeless collaboration that should not be missed.

Twain's Best Work
Revisado: 05-03-18
this is the third book I've read from twain and it is my favorite out of all of them. I grabbed the book because of the title hoping it was as it claims: and so it was! A fantastic fish out of water story and very intelligently written. I laughed and awed all the way to the end.

Historia
Twenty years later, time has weakened the resolve of the Musketeers and dispersed their loyalties. But treasons and stratagems still cry out for justice: civil war endangers the throne of France, while in England, Cromwell threatens to send Charles I to the scaffold. Dumas brings his immortal quartet out of retirement to cross swords with time, the malevolence of men, and the forces of history. But their greatest test is a titanic struggle with the son of Milady, who wears the face of Evil.

the performance ruins this story
Revisado: 04-17-18
I switched between kindle and this while going through the story but the guys voice was hard to get through. I've listened to other people reading Dumas works and they were more cut for doing it than Frederick was. there were points that it sounded like he held his nose to produce a different voice and it was like nails on a chalkboard. also read slow and paused a lot making this recording much longer than it needed to be.

not his best
Revisado: 03-21-18
Now it may be that I'm a contemporary reader, but I'm not a stranger to Dickenson. I've read the well known Christmas Carol and Great expectations. both were easy to follow, but this one, not so much. I know classic literature is hard to read for us contemporary readers, but this was a really difficult struggle to finish and follow along. I think a big issue with this one is there are too many characters and it drove me nuts to keep track.
