Amazing!

Revisado: 12-10-19

Haven’t reviewed in a while, but this book was so amazing I had to write something. Teddy Atlas is so admirable, even with his tough exterior, the heart and brain work overtime. Having him narrate makes it so much better. You feel like you’re sitting around and sharing stories. The occasional interviews add a lot — a great way to update the narrative. Thank you Teddy.

Boring

Revisado: 09-11-08

Boring.
Adjective. Arousing no interest or curiosity.
Synonyms: drear, dreary, dry, dull, humdrum, irksome, monotonous, stuffy, tedious, tiresome, uninteresting, weariful, wearisome, weary, blah, colorless, displeasing, drag, dry, flat, humdrum, irksome, mundane, piercing, tedious, tiresome, tiring.

Disappointing. Seems to be the life of a relatively ordinary -- although odd -- individual who created a useful tool. Nothing special here.

Not too good

Revisado: 08-24-08

OK, so if you're looking for a DaVinci Code kind of book, don't let the description fool you, this isn't it. Written well, narrated well, but the story was neither exciting nor interesting. You might want to try something else.

Very Good

Revisado: 08-03-08

Good book and good narrator. Overall an engaging story. French has done a very good job developing the characters to the point that you actually begin to like and hate them as they make mistakes and and live their lives. Very good listen.

More good stuff

Revisado: 07-22-08

I continue to enjoy these books and their narrators. The story has changed so much from the original Ender's Game, but I enjoyed this one as much -- for very different reasons.

Couldn't Finish

Revisado: 07-20-08

Only the second book ever from Audible that I could not get through. I found the story too drawn out and I found that the narrator, in putting on accents, became too difficult to understand. I really wanted to like it, but 9 hours was just enough!

Good, not great

Revisado: 04-03-08

This was interesting, although not as exciting as a lot of the print reviews led me to believe. Good narrator.

Better than the movie

Revisado: 03-15-08

I grabbed this before I saw the movie, and I'm glad I did. The book, as usual, was better (even though the movie was also very good). The book gets a bit rambling at times, but as a whole, it was a very good listen. The narration was good,

Why did I wait?

Revisado: 03-15-08

Why did I wait so long to read Roots? I don't remember the mini-series, but this book was terrific. Not only is the story powerful, but I found it very interesting when the characters lives are placed in an historical perspective -- for example, when the characters discuss Washington's presidency or Lincoln's addresses. The narration is excellent. Could have gone another 30 hours without issue!

Fantastic

Revisado: 03-15-08

The book itself is fantastic. A very different perspective from other books I've read on the same topic. Even though the narrator (the actual story teller written into the book, not the audio book narrator) tells you how the book is going to end, multiple times, you're never prepared for it. The narration is excellent -- voices and accents are perfect.
