Main Character was lame

Revisado: 06-13-18

It was just okay. Characters had no depth. Main character was not true to life. Story idea was good. Reader did not have distinct voices, very limited.

Dissappointing

Revisado: 03-06-18

What disappointed you about The Bell Jar?

The main character. She was self-absorbed.

Would you ever listen to anything by Sylvia Plath again?

No.

What three words best describe Maggie Gyllenhaal’s voice?

Monotone which may have been on purpose but it was dry.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disgust in the fact here was someone who squandered opportunity. Lived in the same era as other women making strides. Because she felt stifled she just withered through most of the story. Boo hoo life is unfair.

Awesome book - entertaining and practical

Revisado: 09-01-17

The author had the same questions I had concerning meditation. He made it more practical and understandable.

His struggle with mediation at the retreat. His text of what was going through his mind.

The inflection with the content.

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

No, but it is a book I will listen to over and over. It had a great message that has already helped me!

Reminded me of college lectures

Revisado: 09-01-17

What disappointed you about The Sociopath Next Door?

The same thing was repeated over and over again, i in 6 people are sociopaths. Okay we get it but why and how and what do they do? Very superficial, no depth. The title was very misleading.

Would you be willing to try another one of Shelly Frasier’s performances?

No. Very soft and went with the boring content.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

It made me remember why I feel asleep in my Psychology lectures in college.

Sunday School Class

Revisado: 06-27-17

What disappointed you about The Shack?

It was not a novel but a Sunday School Class. No development of characters, no plot. Short book summary did not give a true description.

How could the performance have been better?

Reader did not do women's voices very well. His style would fit teen books.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disappointment that I used a credit!

Any additional comments?

Don't bother with this book.

Not as good as the Midwife's Revolt

Revisado: 07-21-16

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

Yes

What other book might you compare Our Own Country to and why?

The Midwife's Revolt is book 1 in the series. I liked both books but I had trouble seeing Our Own Country's main character, Eliza, as the same person portrayed in The Midwife's Revolt.

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

Yes - both were good.

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

Very Repetitive and No Story

Revisado: 07-21-16

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

The story did not make any sense, even from the point of view of the main character. Over and over again he ignored his disease of diabetes. The sarcasm was annoying. Very disappointing. The main character was so self-absorbed. Someone who likes this may enjoy it.

Would you ever listen to anything by Tim Anderson again?

No

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

The narrator was okay.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disappointment

Any additional comments?

I thought that the story might get to a point but it never did. Just over and over again the cycle of diabetic fallout and then love life daydreams.

Reader may it difficult to like

Revisado: 05-12-16

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Not really.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Age Of Innocence?

In the next to last chapter when Archer finally has the light bulb go off and realize the rest of the family thinks he is in a physical affair when in fact it is everything but physical. Silly man!

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The narrator went too fast and did not have different character voices. Also, I had to keep changing the volume. I reduced the speed to 3/4 and could follow along. However, I did miss much of the details due to the volume issue and lack of identifying the character.

Did The Age Of Innocence inspire you to do anything?

No
