Audible broke the chapters: Listening difficult

Revisado: 03-08-21

I had been enjoying this audio book as my favorite ever. I own the print copy, but there was something deeply touching and powerful in hearing my Inner Pilot Light speak directly to me every morning. It is how I ended my spiritual practice. I was 100% pleased with my listening experience until last Sunday.

Prior to last Sunday, each daily reading had it's own chapter. The 365+ chapters improved the listening experience because I could start at the beginning of each day's love letter. I own the print book as well. Some daily readings touch me more than others. I had been easy to find that reading in the audio because because each day had its own chapter.

Last Sunday, all the daily readings were combined into one 11 hour chapter. I had started the laborious process of creating a bookmark for each day's letter. I messed one up - and didn't start with beginning of day 184.

Audible, please, please fix it. If it was there once, the technology should allow it to return. I will note that the individual chapters were only available on my Fire Tablet. My phone always had the 11 hours chapter as did listening online. Please - fix this. You - Amazon and Audible - ruining my listening pleasure in my favorite audio book. Thank you.

Great Book - Terrible Performance

Revisado: 04-21-18

What did you love best about This Thing Called You?

This book is required reading for the Practitioner I course with Centers for Spiritual Living.
It is a powerfully affirmative text
It is filled with many Ernest Holmes affirmations. I desired a portable version to take with me and to listen to before falling asleep. I find it useful to read and listen simultaneously to drive the lessons into my mind.

What was one of the most memorable moments of This Thing Called You?

The text is a heart-warming, Spirit-filling, affirmative bedtime story. Ernest Holmes' words are the perfect thing to ponder while falling asleep.

How could the performance have been better?

A different narrator. It almost sounds like a computer synthesized the text. First it was too fast. Using the slower narration speed option made listening more unpleasant. The voice did not reproduce the emotion, encouragement, hope, and joy of the text.
I had attempted to record the affirmations in my voice for myself. I was even more unhappy with that effort than this poor performance.
Listen to the sample and determine if you can tolerate the narration.

Any additional comments?

A heartfelt narration with emotion and a slower pace would make this audio book five stars. The text is already five stars.

Fantastic Book - even better audio version

Revisado: 09-27-13

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

The narrator did a spectacular job with all the characters in this book. She gave each person their own "voice" including the main male character. This is one of my favorite books. One of those books that you return to for comfort when life is a little rough. If you enjoy this author, get this audio book. I could actually feel the cold Scottish evenings and taste the evening's libations. A beautifully crafted book that will make the miles fly by as you drive.
