Mary

Great story of a woman and of America's history.

Revisado: 04-21-18

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

This is a well-paced, thoughtfully written story of a woman in the front seat of the birth of the United States. The narrator brings Eliza Hamilton to life for the listener. We get a sense of life for a woman in the 18th century especially given her position among the founding fathers. The insight into the political maneuvering of that era helps you understand the tension built into our constitutional process that was there from the outset. It makes the news of today very understandable. This is a very enjoyable story on many levels and I highly recommend it.

Unexpected Delight

Revisado: 02-13-17

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

This was an unexpected delight. I was truly sad when the story concluded and know that I will have to wait months for another book. The book started slow so do don't give up; the stage needs to be set. I like that the plot has twists and turns and that I did not figure out the ending in advance. The narrator definitely added to the story with a variety of voices making it easy to follow. All in all, a very entertaining book.

McCullough ruins his own book

Revisado: 06-27-15

Any additional comments?

What would have been an excellent book was completely ruined by the author's narration. By now it seems he should certainly be able to hire a professional narrator. His voice was fading or gravely and many words slurred. We couldn't finish listening to it. We just fast forwarded to the epilogue. While the story was interesting, it was just too painful to listen especially as we were on a long car ride. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if you listened in small increments.

Not very good

Revisado: 06-23-14

What did you like best about Without Warning? What did you like least?

Never been disappointed with Rosenfelt before so there is always a first time. This book is uneven with a rather unbelievable ending. The characters are not that interesting with the exception of the dialogue between the Police Chief and FBI Agent. The narrator just didn't seem to fit this book. This won't keep me from reading Rosenfelt. I am looking forward to the new Andy Carpenter book due out next month.

What did you love best about The Boys in the Boat?

This is not only entertainment but educational and up-lifting. We have recommended to all our friends. Don't miss this book!

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Boys in the Boat?

Each race was presented with all the excitement you could have experienced if you were actually there.

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

This is my first experience with Edward Hermann's narration and I would listen to anything he narrated from now on. Superb!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The story of Joe's childhood and how he overcame all obstacles and held no grudges.

A true 10!

Revisado: 06-19-11

The tenth Myron Bolitar and it is great! Steven Weber is an extraordinary narrator. The combination can't be beat. Be sure to get the unabridged version. Each subplot is fascinating on its own.

Great Narration

Revisado: 12-30-10

Ms Rosenblat does such an exceptionally fine job with the narration. She brings life to the characters and keeps you wanting more. The story is not action packed but it slowly unwinds the story of a mother and daughter that makes you mourn for what could have been. It is a good listen. I would recommend it if you like life stories.

Bad Narration

Revisado: 05-07-10

I read this series and looked forward to listening to it. This narrator ruined the story. One voice and a lisp too! - I am glad to see the narrator was changed for the 2nd and 3rd book in the series so I am looking forward to hearing those. I recommend reading the paper copy and skipping this audio.

Poorly written

Revisado: 04-16-09

This book is so poorly written that it is painful. I have enjoyed Fielding in the past but this one misses on all counts. The heroine's lack of self esteem is tedious and at times overwhelming. The author's constant use of the heroine talking out loud to herself and mixing it with her dialogue with other makes it very hard to follow. Don't waste your money on this one.

A sour note

Revisado: 02-20-09

I always enjoyed the sharp wit of Phillips' books. Unfortunately this has a decidedly mean streak to the writing. It is hard to warm up to the characters as a result. The narrator's sing-song reading is difficult to listen to for long periods. While no one can replace Anna Fields, there are many narrators that could have made this a better listening experience.
