Stardust

Hard to follow

Revisado: 01-15-25

This was the worst book by this author.
I very much enjoyed previous books by her. I expected a much more, high level of plot and execution of the story.
The solution was very much contrived. I was disappointed when the answer was presented like a magician who pulls a rabbit out of a hat.
There’s no enjoyment in discovering the answer to the mystery.

Good Story

Revisado: 10-08-24

The reader/narrator is rather terrible, especially at the beginning. He almost disregards the punctuation; running together the end of one sentence with the beginning of the next. Likewise commas and other punctuation which the author has deliberately placed there for good reasons. I had to slow down the reading to .85 to remove some of the irritation of listening.
The reader is a past news reader, perhaps this has something in it by way of explanation. Still, any good audio editor would have caught and corrected this.
I will avoid any further titles read by the reader.

Underappreciated story

Revisado: 03-18-24

Not her most famous, but certainly among the best plotted. A hidden gem of a story.

Good book, poor narration

Revisado: 03-05-24

Very good content BUT…..
The reader has a clear voice and excellent diction… however….. the pacing and phrasing are terrible. So bad I looked up a few transcripts online to check the punctuation. I thought, perhaps, there might have been some peculiar pattern of punctuation that was throwing the performer off. No, he just phrases so awkwardly, often breaking sentences in such a confusing way that the meaning gets lost. You then have to pause and mentally reconstruct the sentence in a way that makes sense. This is so annoying and really detracts from the enjoyment of the listening experience.
Sorry, but I would recommend a collection of these excellent stories read by a better reader/performer.

A little hard to follow

Revisado: 09-17-21

The biggest drawback of this publication is that the reader has a very distinctive almost robotic quality to his presentation. Without specific nuanced inflections in his voice, you cannot determine which parts are more or less significant and therefore much of the meaning islost. The effect is similar to the removal of punctuation.

A (The) Classic

Revisado: 06-24-21

You will have to pay close attention to the story as it unfolds in unfamiliar language that will try your patience, but will be rewarded with the experience of appreciating the earliest attempts and invention of this now familiar genera of literature.

Just Bad

Revisado: 06-18-21

Poor production values. Echoing vocals, audible turning of pages and hard to listen to.

Self congratulatory author, proves that not everyone should write a book just because they can.

Could benefit from deleting most of the vulgarity.
There are other much better books on this subject, in fact, most of them are better.

Excellent!

The best book of its type in years. There are others but this one is very worth your time and money.

Terrible

Revisado: 09-07-20

Very, Very poor story.
Absolutely overacted. Not worth your time, even though it is “free”.
