My Favorite Liane Moriarty Story!

Revisado: 10-27-24

I loved every character. The great narration was the icing on the cake! I will be thinking about it for a long time.

beautiful and thought provoking

Revisado: 07-20-20

Thoroughly believable. I especially appreciated the author's comments on her research sand struggle to make the story reverent was well as historically realistic
The narrator was good overall but there were errors of pronunciation of place names throughout the book. These were forgivable but still distracting

Awesome Narrator...Depressing story

Revisado: 03-15-18

What was most disappointing about J.G. Ballard’s story?

This story is like watching a painfully slow political train wreck. It is a very dark and depressing perception of humanity, I could not finish it. Each time after listening, I felt emotionally lower than when I began. Returned the book.

Which character – as performed by Tom Hiddleston – was your favorite?

Tom Hiddleston is a masterful narrator, it was easy to follow the 3 main characters- Royal from the 2nd floor, Lang from the 25th, and Royal- the architect living in the Penthouse. Unfortunately, none of them could be considered a favorite.

Slow to get going

Revisado: 09-15-17

Talented narrator who created subtle voices for the different characters. But both the narrator and the story progressed sooooooooooo slowly it seemed to drag. I sped the narration up to 1.15x speed and that helped. Anticlimactic ending as well. Disappointed.

Disappointing. Predictable. Didn't finish it.

Any additional comments?

Started reading Nora Roberts more recent books and love them. This is an earlier career effort and does not have the depth of story or characters that I've come to expect.

Depressing and Angry Voice

Revisado: 04-21-17

Couldn't finish this book. Very dark tone, and the theme was not a unique one. Recommend listening to Hidden Figures as an alternative having the similar message and a more accountable as well as truly historical perspective.

Surprising! I loved it start to finish

Revisado: 04-18-16

Beautiful blend of a love story, family traditions tied together through recipes, and just enough fantasy elements to surprise and delight :-)
Narration was good, but production quality was lacking.

Surprises and Great Imagery

Revisado: 04-10-16

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

I'd recommend to friends who like thoughtful, gentle, fiction. I love Yann Martel's perspectives on family, faith, and animals.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The High Mountains of Portugal?

The surprise Odo found on a walk with Peter when peering over the boulders.

Disappointing Narration

Revisado: 04-09-16

giving up on the audio version. The narrator doesn't differentiate well by either voice or rhythm between the 5 speakers providing the first person presentation of the story. This book has been highly recommended by family, but I can't speak to the story since I couldn't get into the audio version. I'll read it in print..
