Not what I expected in a sequel

Revisado: 03-20-25

I really enjoyed the first book and was excited for the second. I found Jane annoying, and felt that she didn’t take the lessons of the first book into this one. I have finished it tbh but I doubt that I will. I found her whiny over everything which I didn’t find in the first book. She was constantly (at the point I stopped listening) bored.

I think showing an adjustment period in their early married life is fine but we’re thrown in 3 months late and almost never get fluffy affectionate newlyweds which I’d hoped for. Instead I’m annoyed by both characters almost from the beginning.

It might get better later and I intend to read it on paper because I want to finish. On paper it’s easier to skim through the annoying bits.

Always excellent and convicting

Revisado: 01-13-24

Ralph Cosham is one of my favourite readers of Lewis, and as always did an excellent job with Screwtape letters. I’ve read it several times and found it as I always have eye-opening, and convicting.

I love Stephen Fry’s voice! The story was wonderful. I would recommend this book to adults and children alike.

Audible recommended this and I decided to try it after finishing all of Diana Wynne Jones books on here. I absolutely loved it! The performance was excellent and the story was engaging.

Disappointed

Revisado: 01-28-23

I am disappointed with the lack of usable I formation. I appreciate the success this doctor has had but I needed more specific information about the diet and foods I stead of “This is what worked for my mom and this is what worked for others and me”. Also, there are no practical suggestion for attainable affordable supplements. The suggestion is that it only works if you do the diet and also take her supplements that she sells. And the list of supplements is long and expensive. It would be great to have some “If you are a regular person and can’t afford all the supplements take a minimum of ______ and while my supplements are optimum, this brand can get you started.”

Again, just disappointed.

Wonderful!

I’d tried to read Dracula in high school and then again in college but often got bogged down with the writing style. This version makes it come alive! Well done to all! Now onto another book.

Charming and Delightful

Revisado: 01-11-23

I’m in the midst of reading Unspoken Sermons by MacDonald and thought I’d listen to something by him. This happened to be the only thing on Audible Plus. I throughly enjoyed it on my drive to and from work.

Didn’t finish

Revisado: 01-06-23

I stopped midway into chapter two. While I agree that some of the church’s history is told in a way biased against the church, there was no actual discussion of why or reason, only dismissal. Some of the facts were interesting but given with such a spin that I couldn’t believe them. I was hoping more for a history on the church’s influence on Western Ciz from a non negative viewpoint. The reading isn’t great either (though I’m also listening Dracula read by Tim Curry and Alan Cumming so my perspective is a bit off.)

I love DWJ books and this one was no different. Excellent! The narrator is also great! I love that the series has the same narrator.

One of the best in the Crestomanci series

Revisado: 10-13-22

This was probably my favourite in the crestomanci series that I’ve read thus far. Gerard Doyle does excellent narration.
