One of my Favorite Books

Revisado: 01-09-20

It had been the better part of 20 years since I read Jurassic Park. I was a kid when the movie came out and read the book right after. Decided to listen to it while working on some projects and I am so glad I did. I still love this book so much, and you remember how much of a technical genius Michael Crichton was, a lot that was left out of the movie.

Seems that Scott Brick has done a lot of more contemporary classic titles, and I do enjoy listening to him.

Book 2 of Mordant's Need, and a great ending to my favorite book series!

Again Mr. Brick narrates and I don't hate it!

I have loved this book since I was a kid

Revisado: 01-09-20

I'm not joking. This book as well as A Man Rides Through, are only a few of the books that I have consistently re-read over the years. I was 12/13 when I first read a second hand paperback version of this book. I now own 3 different copies of it. 2 paperback 1 hard back. I don't know why, but the story from the beginning has just always grabbed me and should be a requirement for any fantasy fan.

The narration isn't bad, Scott Brick does a wonderful job, and I wasn't fully annoyed at his voices for women (because lets be honest, men's voices for women can be horrid), but his didn't distract from the story or make me cringe.

A must for a true crime lover

Revisado: 01-09-20

This book was amazing. Such a wonderful insight into how people get into true crime, I mean really get into it, and how normal people can actually help solve a crime (be smart though, abide be certain rules, and don't be stupid). Because of this book I was introduced to Billy Jensen and Paul Holes (Evil Has A Name on Audible) and now listen to their podcast.

He changed the world!

If you have any interest in medical history, this book is a must! While not an exciting life, Lister changed the world more than he would ever know!

Wow

Revisado: 04-03-17

Wow. Just wow. I can see why this book is not for everyone, but it's still quite amazing. The author has a beautiful way with words, when it comes to descriptions of things; from smells to looks, too emotions. It took a couple chapters for me to get into the book, but once I got into it, I was hooked. I cringed, and was uncomfortable, but I was also frustrated and angry. I read one review that said the reader felt a range of emotions and they were right. I felt them all. I'm still sitting here in a post book haze. Just staring, not knowing what to do. It just doesn't feel right to get up after finishing this book and do your next mundane task. So I wrote the review.

I also have to give props to the Narrator. She was amazing! Sometimes voices done by narrators can annoy me during a book, and if that's the case, I usually will finish the book by reading, rather than listening. But Jorjeana Marie is fantastic. She really brought to life the characters, and to have so many different voices was nothing short of amazing. She helped to pull me into the book.

Overall, this book is not for everyone, but for those that do read or listen to it, all the way through, most will be in awe of it.
