What disappointed you about Marching with Caesar?

The way is is told is stilted and drawn out. The prologue is a dictionary of Latin and Roman terms which really put me off at first. It could be done in the story as it is in many other books of this kind.

Has Marching with Caesar turned you off from other books in this genre?

No

Would you be willing to try another one of Simon Burdett’s performances?

No

so sad that the roller coasterxride is over

I loved the whole series. Lots of fun and humour with some historical background included. It's easy to suspends disbelief in order to go along with such a likeable cast of characters.

It just keeps getting better

Revisado: 07-01-14

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

Yes, if they were a fan of historical detective fiction.

Any additional comments?

This series gets better with every book. I have just finished book 5. I love the historical detail and the characters are becoming more interesting as they are met in each book.

Another great tale

If you could sum up Bryant & May and the Memory of Blood in three words, what would they be?

Another great Bryant and May mystery

What other book might you compare Bryant & May and the Memory of Blood to and why?

The other Bryant and May books - all have mysteries that reveal themselves slowly, the wonderfully eccentric Bryant and all the odd information that comes with his character. The history and the love for the scene and the players is a constant in this series.

What about Tim Goodman’s performance did you like?

Using different voices for the characters, adds to rather than intruding into the story.

Any additional comments?

Its one that I can't stop listening to.

Romance, mystery, humour and horror

Revisado: 04-23-13

This was a great story. It was a tiny bit slow to start, then it unfolded through different stages with lots of interesting ideas and an undertone of suspense. It was very easy to visualise and would make a great mini series in the SF vein of Torchwood or Dr Who.
It was also light and easy to listen to, with the interaction between characters providing lots of wry humour. I liked it and could not put it down towards the end.

Enjoyable

I am enjoying this first book of the series. Having been introduced to Miss Fisher by the Australian TV series, I am glad to have found the series.

Exciting and Original

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

Among the top 5

What did you like best about this story?

I liked the different characters and the way they each looked at what was happening from their own point of view. I liked the gentle philosophy. The characters were interesting and sympathetic. Each one developed through the story. The story moved from the real world into the alternate reality very smoothly.

Have you listened to any of Paul Michael Garcia’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I thought his performance was excellent

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

I couldn't stop listening to it

Any additional comments?

I recommend it to people who enjoy fantasy novels

If you could sum up Theodosia and the Serpents of Chaos in three words, what would they be?

Funny, educational, absorbing

What was one of the most memorable moments of Theodosia and the Serpents of Chaos?

The climax where Theodosia is facing the Serpents of Chaos in the pyramid.

Any additional comments?

I like good children's books, they usually have a level of humour that adults pick up . This one is just beautiful.

A bit drawn out

Revisado: 02-03-12

Would you try another book from Susanna Kearsley and/or Rosalyn Landor?

Probably not

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

Information about that period in Scotland's history was very interesting.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Rosalyn Landor?

Probably not

Was The Winter Sea worth the listening time?

I ended up skipping a lot of it as the story seemed so drawn out. I was more interested in the modern day love story than the earlier one.

Any additional comments?

This is a romance which is not my interest area. However the history was very good.
