Nice, but not as good as The Dalai Llamas Cat 🐈

Revisado: 07-28-24

I may be biased, but coming to this after having read the Dalai Llamas Cat series, the previous one was better in terms of story and emotional engagement. It is still a very nice audiobook, but perhaps lacks some of the mysticism and bewilderment from the former.

Loved it!

Revisado: 07-05-22

Loved the book and narration. Especially the parallel between the crews of the Grafton and Invercauld (the coward captain and mate of the Invercauld made me so mad, Holding is an unsung hero).
If you're looking for a book on stories of survival in the harshest conditions, this is it!

Meh

Revisado: 06-13-22

Good performance, but perhaps Audible is not the best if you actually want to understand Beowulf, due to the old language and phrasing used.

Don't subscribe. You will not be able to unsubscribe ot remove them from your device. Pausing updates is not that useful since I don't wanna see them on my list anymore.

Boring

Revisado: 12-31-20

I grabbed this as a fast listen, but couldn't go through with it after the first 10 minutes. Monotone, the style and story is not likeable and overall quite boring.

So incredibly boring

Revisado: 12-31-20

I can see why this is supposed to be a bed time story. It is so boring you cannot help but fall asleep.

Turns into a bad fanfic romance

Revisado: 12-31-20

Jesus Christ, did it really have to turn into a fanfiction romance in the last 2 chapters? The first part was amazing - had so much potential, and then it switched into a badly written romance between Marie and her future husband where the characters turn into veritable Mary Sues.
5⭐ for the narrator though. I almost thought it was Marie narrating all along.

Love Katherine, but THIS IS NOT A BOOK

Revisado: 08-04-20

I love Katherine - she is hilarious. What I don't love though is the fact that this "book" is just a recording of one of her shows - which I can find online for free. Waste of money ...

Unsatisfactory

Revisado: 07-14-20

I got to about 50% and then I had to stop.
I first saw James in WILTY and I thought he was hilarious. I still think he is amazing. This book however, tries to be funny, but it fails - a few actually funny tales with a lot of fillers. Or perhaps I just cannot reconcile with British humor.

Amazing coffee overview

Revisado: 02-15-20

As a coffee lover, I found this to be an amazing overview of coffee, coffee induced habits (oh that addiction), how coffee influences us (even though it just postpones the inevitable and suppresses sleep which is bad bad), modern coffee (hipsters much?), the preparation and industry of coffee (underpaid farmers, big profits for companies), and coffee history (this part was amazing, I had no idea that it's said that Voltaite drank up to 72 cups per day, or that the British and Arabs wanted to ban it but couldn't).
Yes, coffee is a drug. Yes, coffee influences us in both good and bad ways. Maybe next time I will think twice and order tea instead.
