Disappointing

Revisado: 07-12-22

Sorry Mark, I've been a huge fan of your work for decades but this all feels a bit lazy and cheap. The lowest hanging fruit possible rather than your normal intelligent, eloquent deconstruction of what's really wrong with things in this world. Not sorry I bought this but I doubt I'll ever listen to it again. But I would still implore you to release (or maybe re-release?) audiobooks of your books and to narrate them - I'd buy those in a heartbeat.

More Excellence

Revisado: 05-04-22

Fantastic, again :-) Can't wait for 4 and 5... which is coming soon according to the author. Tim's narration, as always, is spot on.

This Is Awesome

Revisado: 04-27-22

I think this ought to have had a much, much bigger audience but libs are likely to have run away at the title. This is a great breakdown of how our society has gone bonkers over the last few years and just how long it's really been going on for. It should be essential reading, but probably, won't be because nobody can cope with their viewpoints being challenged in 2022.

Loving This Series

Revisado: 04-25-22

Well written adult fantasy which never descends into the tawdry. And the narration is just perfect. Really enjoying this series. I've put in nearly 40 hours in 4 days now... it's awesome.

Didn't Expect It To Be This Good

Revisado: 04-21-22

An amazing start to a fantasy series. Funny, heart-wrenching, and much more. I really wasn't expecting much from this, but so many people told me to check it out and now? I see why. Tim Gerard Reynolds is a masterful narrator and he has excellent material to work with here. Have bought the next 3 books already....

I Am Completely Jealous (Sort Of)

Revisado: 12-20-18

I wish I had the courage to undertake a journey like this. I have some idea of just how hard and miserable this trip would have been but the author makes it sound like a walk in the park. Gareth Armstrong's narration is absolutely excellent here and I really enjoyed his retelling of the story. If you want to know more about The Congo, this is as good a place to start as any. It is an admirable adventure and possibly one of the last remaining on the surface of this increasingly tiny planet.

The World I Remember

Revisado: 12-19-18

Colin Quinn captures the joy of real diversity - the differences between us celebrated and respected rather than varnished over and ignored. It reflects the reality that we have always fought with each other but this does not mean hatred in absolutes. It's also a very funny, well-narrated work that doesn't outstay its welcome. I can see how this material would upset a Millennial but that really just tells you what is wrong with that generation. This is a great use of an afternoon and I completely recommend it to anyone.

Brilliant And Fascinating

Revisado: 12-18-18

This isn't in my typical sphere of interest but it caught my eye in my Xmas shopping spree and thus landed in my library anyway. It's a superbly told fly-on-the-wall perspective view of a psychiatrist's couch when love makes people go mad. I learned an enormous amount about various peculiar disorders, I laughed a bit and found myself scared stiff when the author confronted a would-be mass murderer. If you think you might enjoy this - I can pretty much guarantee that you will enjoy it. Absolutely fantastic book and one I shall return to again at a later date.

Awful Narration - Valuable Story

Revisado: 12-16-18

This is a valuable account of what it's like to be white, working class and forgotten by society. Sadly, it's also the worst narrated work that I've heard on Audible so far. It's like listening to a robot with an American twang mince every single thing about it. Sentence structure is destroyed as the author reads random strings of words before picking up the next - if there's ever a case for professional narration, this is it. Read this book, don't listen to it for the sake of your sanity. Thumbs very much down.

Charming And Pointless But That's OK

Revisado: 12-16-18

This is a sweet tour of what makes Nick, Megan and their relationship tick. It has no real point or objective and it certainly won't change your life but it is sweet, interesting and often funny. It feels like a real peek behind the scenes into their lives and it's funny how much Nick comes across like Ron Swanson at times. Though less ultra-macho. I am very glad that I listened to this; it's uplifting and that's a pretty good outcome.
