Susan Stann Burke

The narrator

Revisado: 11-27-20

When reading the characters’ dialog, her voice was annoying. Squeakily, overdone, and unrealistic. I have loved Lisette Lecat’s narrations for so many years and don’t enjoy the books nearly as much without her. Please ask her to return! For a next book, tell the story of Charlie running the agency while the ladies are gone, the ladies’ misadventures on the way home, and then Charlie going up to see the elephant!

City of girls

Revisado: 06-06-19

What a disappointment! I kept on listening hoping for a better story, but the plot was uninteresting, the characters unsympathetic, and the writing uninspired.

Mindless drivel

I never got any point, hook, or sense of engagement., nor did I understand the point of the story.

Good story; reader could be better

Revisado: 05-03-15

An engaging though ambitious story, perhaps trying to do too much in one novel. He's a good writer, though. The reader had very poor Spanish pronunciation; it would have been better if it had been read by fine one with a more native accent. Such as the author himself.

Reader ruins what might be a good story

Revisado: 10-23-14

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

No Grisham fan would enjoy this rendition. His usual reader was great and represeted the voice of the south; this is soulless, empty, and most Importantly, non exciting! Change the reader! Pick a male or or female, but be sure he is earnest and experienced in this genre.

Great story, one poor reader, one good one

Revisado: 06-19-14

Would you try another book from Lily King and/or Simon Vance and Xe Sands ?

By Lily King and Xe Sands, yes! But Simon Vance-/ a very prolific audible reader -- is pedantic, boring and supercilious. I will not listen to a book read by him again. He sounds like an ex Shakesperian actor who thinks he sounds great, but us really really boring! He makes me zone out. Luckily Xe Sands was great and so I was able to finish an excellent story.

What other book might you compare Euphoria to and why?

State of Wonder-- similar anthropological bent and riveting details about other cultures, with interesting characters.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Simon Vance and Xe Sands ?

Xe Sands was great. Anyone would have been better than Simon Vance for this listener.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Yes.

Any additional comments?

None.
