a good fourth in the trilogy, BUT..

Revisado: 10-19-15

i needed some more info/closure on the whole salander story, and i certainly got it. the plot itself was good, the ending a bit weak. it felt a little bit like it did when i finished the first book (dragon tattoo) and didn't yet know it was a part of a series. i hope this guy is planing YET ANOTHER salander book, otherwise he needs to get a place in a good writing course to work on his endings. it's still worth a read, and i'm not sorry i read it. throughout the book i did find he was often as good as larsson. i just hoped he would get the ending right (i don't mean i was looking for a hollywood ending, just one that would be on-par with the series).
as for the narration -i love simon vance but it feels like he never checked how he pronounced the names of the characters in the previous books in the series before he read this one. other than that, his narration was as great as always. i'd listen to anything if he's the one reading it. he can read the phone book for all i care, i'd pay as many credits as needed to listen.

wonderful.

a great book if you liked a girl with a dragon tattoo and the likes. this is the type of plot where you feel you're right there, in the story, trying to figure out what the hell is going on along with the characters. the double-team of narrators do a great job of conveying the story and the emotions, and i felt like the story was coming to life around me.

I wish this was just the first in a series

great story, great twists, good, believable narration. obviously it was a bit over-the-top (007-single-handedly-saving-the-entire-world-in-90-minutes-ish) and yet it all made sense in the moment, and i never felt the author being lazy about explaining the different situations. i really wish there was more to read by this author, and i'd love to keep reading about this character (though i doubt it would become a series).

Better than any of the other book club selections!

Kathy does a brilliant job at narrating her own book. It feels like we're just talking. Even though I kinda knew the stories from interviews and from her stand up specials and all, there was something about her tone (as always) which kept me hooked. Totally worth a listen, and I will probably give it a second listen when I'm feeling a bit down and looking for a normal person's take on life.

a great read for the atheist christophiles..

the author addresses all the issues which touch upon the question, but also explains why they are (or arn't) important. both mythicists views and the life of Jesus, the jewish apocalyptic preacher are explored, and it was scholarly enough to get me reading more. i wish the "works cited" of the book was also available somewhere for further reading.

why on earth would anyone read an abridged version

Revisado: 01-31-12

i didn't notice the ABRIDGED warning.

the sound and production are great. good quality, good narrator.. however, how could anyone miss out on all the other stories which arn't given here? why on earth would you bother listening to half the story?

a tough call.

Revisado: 12-02-11

this is a really tough one to review. very informative on the one hand, yet bad quality of recording and it isn't very appealing to the ear or the interest buds. i think i only survived through the listen because i really like the subject. if you're just starting to look into the middle ages, i wouldn't start with this one. it is basically a university course that someone recorded, and didn't even bother to digitally remaster or take off the white noise.

funny at times but mostly when she quotes others

Revisado: 06-30-11

this book is like an extended blog, which could've been tolerated if it wasn't for her voice. it's just not pleasant to listen to her voice. the story itself is actually not very consistent or interesting, as it is too personal. i would probably be much more impressed if i bothered to read it rather than listen to it.
