Old New York City in the gangster era.

Revisado: 02-04-22

Story was well read and interesting. The North River is another name for the Hudson, used about 100 years ago. Nice story resolution. A lot of profanity but I suppose the author thought it proper for the time.

Story could have been a lot better.

Revisado: 02-04-22

Lots of cliche's, corny analogies and attempts at "cool" language, all poorly done. Narrator was fast, factual and a bit nasal. Story comes across as over edited. Could have been a great read if facts were expanded on, so you don't seem to be skipping from story to story. It felt like a 33rmp record being played at 78rpm. Overall, book was full of facts and information but just too fast and choppy for me.

Scarpetta returns

Revisado: 02-04-22

Scarpetta goes back to where she started. Same narrator, same characters. Well written, as always. Sometimes going home is not as wonderful as we think it will be.....

Poe done well

Revisado: 06-11-17

Would you consider the audio edition of The Fall of the House of Usher to be better than the print version?

I have never read the print version.

What did you like best about this story?

Considering the script, the reading was very good

What about William Roberts’s performance did you like?

Good reading, perfect emotion, not flat, not overdone.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

I think it's been done.

Any additional comments?

It's hard to make Poe enjoyable, but this was a good job.

Hard to follow

Revisado: 06-11-17

Would you try another book from Colson Whitehead and/or Bahni Turpin?

The reader was fine but not fantastic. Story line jumped around so much, it was often hard to follow.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

Not really unexpected, just sort of blunt.

What about Bahni Turpin’s performance did you like?

Not flat, but not fantastic either.

Could you see The Underground Railroad (Oprah's Book Club) being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

No idea

Any additional comments?

Overall, a good read.

Excellent story read by an excellent reader!

Revisado: 02-19-17

Where does Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This book is historical fiction and the author interviewed all the characters mentioned in the book. The characters are what make the story interesting, not just the story line. The Narrator does an excellent job creating voices for each character so the characters have a personality beside what the author gives them. I have read this book a number of times and glean something new each time.

What does Jeff Woodman bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

His character voices add to the personalities given by the author. I have not seen the movie, so the personalities I visualize are given to me by listening.

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

If I could I probably would.
