A Spectacular Caper

Revisado: 06-05-14

Where does Skin Game rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It's why I came to Audible in the first place

Have you listened to any of James Marsters’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I was distraught when Marsters failed to read one in the series. It was a huge disappointment, quickly fixed.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Yes, but no spoilers here. (I did cry.)

Any additional comments?

After 15 books, I am ready for deeper growth between the characters relationships. The way choices made in the earlier books have influenced events in later books in unexpected ways, and layered meanings and relationships people give to interactions and events over time are explored in this series is such a joy to wade through. For each crisis brings with it the promise of its undoing, and the seeds of the next. All of which would be frightfully pretentious if the characters did not quote movie lines, science fiction quips and homages to the best fantasy writers of our time at every opportunity. (Just to make the dorks in the room squeee with glee).

Interesting premise

Revisado: 06-01-14

Would you listen to The Dirty Streets of Heaven again? Why?

No, once was enough. I liked it enough to try the second book. But while this one raised interesting ideas about the nature of morality and what comes next, the next book went much darker very fast, and stayed there. I did not finish it.

What other book might you compare The Dirty Streets of Heaven to and why?

After reading the first, I was involved enough to go on to the second book.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

As a defense attorney myself, I was amused that we were God's emissary's for souls, and prosecutorial duties handled by the dark side.

Once was not enough

Revisado: 06-01-14

Would you consider the audio edition of Midnight Riot to be better than the print version?

This is a funny question to answer... until I started listening to books, I had not realized I read in an American accent. It was jarring to understand I had been mishearing Terry Pratchett for all those years. So, for me, hearing the British/Scotish/various other accents of the narrator is helpful, and entertaining.

What did you like best about this story?

The surprises. (No spoilers here.)

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, it was a problem.

Any additional comments?

I admit to being a little bit in love with the main character. This is such a well written series, I have listened to each book twice. And I am panting for the next.

Compelling

What made the experience of listening to Clean the most enjoyable?

This author handles the day to day experience of being a human being in a realistic way, while setting his character in a fictional world. I gained a new understanding of addiction and recovery, and appreciated the way the world kept turning around the characters as they managed their crisis.

Any additional comments?

Keep going... it just gets better as the books progress.

OMG How will I survive until the next book?

Would you consider the audio edition of Broken Homes to be better than the print version?

The Narrator keeps me grounded in the differing accents of the characters... adding a level of complexity I might have missed had I read the book in my own American accent in my head.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

YES, it was hard to stop.

Any additional comments?

Book three was not as great as the first two, leading me to wonder whether Mr Aaronovitch was having difficulty maintaining his commitments. This book brought me back as thoroughly as PC Grant escorting a suspect in for questioning. Do not miss this series.

Enjoyable

Revisado: 05-22-12

What did you love best about Hounded?

Oberon. How can you go wrong with a wolfhound as one of your main characters? Especially when he gets invested in a different historical figure in each book?

Any additional comments?

As much as I enjoy these books for being set in my hometown, and wish to support the local author, the books seem to convey a lesson that women are all evil and dangerous. Every female character we come across (with one exception so far, and I have not yet read Tricked, though I have a really bad feeling) is untrustworthy, manipulative, looking to further her own agenda by illicit means. Too bad.

What made the experience of listening to Bloodshot the most enjoyable?

The main character was realistically cautious, the book opened several interesting lines of inquiry for future books to delve into

So sad to read this last book

Revisado: 05-22-12

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Excellent series, comfortable end.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The characters are interesting and clever, and quite definitively British. There is not one that jumps out as a favorite as the cast is wide ranging. John goes out and talks with everyone in town.

Any additional comments?

After listening to this series, much of the Drood series, Ghost of a chance, and the Deathstalker series, I recommend this as his best work. The others are a little too light, or too dark - this one is just right.
