Drivel

Awful. Florid language. completely unrealistic characters. I thought that the idiotic woman from the US read like a harlequin romance heroine. So it was funny to see this was produced by that exact publisher. if you liked Twilight this is for you. it's not for me. I guess this is why I picked it up on the Audible sales rack.

Excellent

Revisado: 08-25-23

This is a great autobiography and will be very useful for anyone interested in forensic anthropology. warning, the author is factual and unsparing in her description of rather gruesome material.

Interesting story AMAZING Narrative Performance

The story is interesting, and picks up speed rapidly. The narrative performance was spectacular. Truly one of the performances I have ever listened to on Audible

Amazing modern gothic tale

Revisado: 11-22-22

The story is amazing, but it is almost outshone by the virtuoso vocal performance of the 2 narrators. Outstanding production.

Wonderful Book

Revisado: 11-21-22

This is a wonderful collection of thoughts and collected inspirations from various sources. Best consumed in small bites with time to contemplate in between listens. I listened in the morning before work most often. The negative reviews are baffling to me.

Great author. But this is 1 star.

Revisado: 10-17-21

The writing is not the best by this author. The Imago series is amazing as are many of her other works. The vampire creatures have an overwhelming amount of positive traits with no real downside other than inability to move in daylight which the main character has overcome. It removes the tension of immortality at a price. The highly sexual main character is described as a child. This is an obvious issue and doesn't add to the story at all other than invoking pederasty regularly. Finally, the narrator has a beautiful voice that has the same tone, tenor and pace in battle scenes, grieving scenes, sex scenes, making lunch scenes. So it's pretty bad.

Not Sourced

Revisado: 09-26-21

I think the subject matter is interesting. And I am a fan of intelligent and interesting non-fiction. I can't get past the author's repeated psycho-analysis of various figures that is seemingly unsupported by any kind of reference. Clearly, she is knowledgeable. But what aspects of her knowledge allowed her to leap to her conclusion. I kept wondering if the author was called to write historical fiction? Or maybe there is a paucity of material? I don't know, but anyone could guess about what ancient Egyptians were thinking and what emotions they had. Disappointed bc I was interested in learning more.

Excellent Resource

Revisado: 08-30-21

I am active and I am busy and I love to read books. it is why I am an Audible subscriber. This was an excellent supplement to the materials I received from NASM. It allowed me to study while I did other tasks. The narrator has a pleasant voice and does an excellent job compiling the material. I really was grateful for this resource.

Interesting, but could have been more concise

Revisado: 08-16-21

It's an interesting case and very sad for mother and son. Feel like it could have been shorter. Also there many instances when the dramatic music starts, dramatic tone ensues and with great fanfare a mundane fact is revealed. Also, there are definitely times when a dispute with a work colleague is revisited seemingly bc Paul Holes wants the last word. Kinda funny bc it's 25+ years later and your colleague has probably forgotten.

wish this was narrated by the author

Revisado: 05-17-21

Good content. Terrible choice for narrator. The narrator's delivery is mechanical and souless. This narrator is best suited to technical manuals. Great book from an interesting person. Narrator awful.
