Delightful satire

Revisado: 06-18-23

Jane Austen’s gothic humor and mockery of societal conventions are on keen display in this short novel, which she wrote when she was still so young.

Mind-Blowing Story

Revisado: 05-19-23

I could not stop listening to this incredible story, which
incorporates stunning characters and surroundings. The underlying political situation at the time bolsters the entire novel.

Hearing Mandela’s voice, his cadence, and his stories in these recordings makes for a remarkable listening experience.

I’m amazed

Revisado: 07-24-22

There are dozens of courses in this presentation. Men overwhelmingly dominate these “Great Courses.”men. Even books written by women are presented by men. Who picked these men? Why does this company feel that only men should be allowed to provide their opinions to a broad audience? When will this tyranny end?

Fascinating book spoiled by the narrator’s tone

Revisado: 05-09-21

The great research for this book is notable, and the book had to have been revised on deadline for the latest COVID news. Had the narrator just read the book as written, the book would’ve been scary enough, but she felt the need to inject outrage and indignance throughout. It was unnecessary and distracting.

Remarkable

Revisado: 02-21-20

I’ve always loved this book. I enjoyed listening to the audiobook. But the audio production needed improvement. You can hear the reader swallowing between sentences throughout.

Outstanding writing and research; poorly narrated

Revisado: 01-26-19

I tried my best to listen to the entire book, which I found very compelling and well written, as is to be expected from Jill Lepore. But the manner in which she reads her book is hard to tolerate. She reads her own text calmly, thoughtfully, and authoritatively. When it comes to reading quoted material, her voice and tone change completely and the narration becomes shrill, very rushed and breathless, and almost unbearable to listen to. This distracts from the excellent content. Regrettably, I could not finish listening to the book because of this. I might have to borrow a copy from a library if I want to finish the book.

Cliche-laced trite tale

Revisado: 01-06-19

This story is about a man who dispenses advice to one and all. Everyone goes away happy.
