Can't believe so many liked it.

I'm sorry I wasted a credit on this book. The story is very improbable. It's not even well written. And it is filled with non-erotic boring sex scenes.

Enthusiastic narrator

Revisado: 02-02-25

The narrator gave an amazingly energetic performance of this story. It's worth it if you can keep up.
Whew!

Wonderful Narration

Revisado: 02-02-24

This narrator has the most amazing talent. She is so good at creating both male and female character voices that it is almost unbelievable.

Won't be reading this author again.

I did not like this book at all. It has a silly
predicitable plot. Not at all my idea of well-written fantasy.

Sorry but the music is just distracting.

This is a very good book. But I really did dislike all the music included.

I first read this wonderful story when I was 12.

I fell in love with the hero, Laddie. I am now in my 70's, and I still believe his character portrays the ideal man. If you have never read this book, do take a chance...it will make you feel joyful. It is a lesson in virtue, and as Laddie says, "The way to be happy is to be good."

Narrator was perfect, Audible edition is best!

Revisado: 05-14-21

This is another great story from Andy Weir. I rarely write reviews but I wanted to remark on how much this book is enhanced by being in Audible form. (I also own the Kindle edition.) The narrator, Ray Porter, is just flat out brilliant. His changes in pitch , tone, inflection, emphasis are always perfect for the text meaning. He makes every character distinct and individual and conveys different moods superbly. He also happens to be great at accents when necessary. I am grateful for his skill.

Love this author, but

Revisado: 11-05-20

The narrator had a monotonic delivery and never paused a moment between scene changes. this made the book difficult to enjoy. First half was better than the second; I found the whole long escape and battle section boring. Perhaps a reader with military experience would have enjoyed it more. Also, it might have been better had I read the book myself on Kindle rather than listening to this narration.

Not as good as all their previous books.

Revisado: 09-21-18

Plot was just not credible to me. Authors seemed to struggle to contrive this post-war mystery for Bess. Characters and actions were often not very believable. On the other hand, I did finish the book and the narrator was very good as always.

I am so glad I chose this book!

Revisado: 08-06-18

I had read another Shakespeare bio many years ago (Will in the World) but I feel I learned so much more from this book. Simon Vance's narration is utterly clear and perfect. Ackroyd's research was amazingly extensive and his ability to synthethize it in entertaining prose was compelling. So compelling that several times I found myself listening late into the night, unable to "put the book down." It was that good. I eventually got the Kindle version so I could highlight passages and see the footnotes. I haven't read any of Ackroyd's another books but I highly recommend this one.
