Narrator was the best part of the story

Revisado: 10-23-19

I agree with most of the reviews that talk about the looooooong duration of getting through Chicago. The narrator (who was absolutely fantastic) made it worthwhile to listen to even with the amount of whining and points of view given. The story did not progress at a good pace. I'm torn whether or not I will go for the next one.

Can't get through the book

Revisado: 11-18-17

I am not sure if the writing is so bad, but the narration is awful. The timing, the accents, the overall acting was just terrible and do distracting that I can't continue past the first couple of chapters. It's a good thing this was included in my unlimited library or I would be mad that I wasted a credit.

Fantastic Ending to a Fantastic Series

Revisado: 12-14-15

I am a big fan of fairy tales and was captivated by this series from the first. I know I would not have liked them as much if I had read them, though. These (to me) were so great as audiobooks. Although the narrator's voice at first didn't appeal to me, I came to appreciate how wonderful she was in keeping in character and all of the different accents. She truly brought the story to life and I am glad they kept her for all of the books. I highly recommend this as well as all of the others in the series for both young adults and adults young at heart.

Was a bit slow in places but awesome as usual

Revisado: 01-08-15

I like anything Peter Hamilton writes and this book was a wonderful spin off to get to know Nigel Sheldon (one of characters from other books). Hamilton spins complex stories so it's often difficult to follow. Listening to his books especially by such a great narrator makes it more enjoyable for me. I highly recommend listening to this book and can't wait for the next installment.

Typical Middle of the series

Revisado: 02-11-14

James Marsters excels as usual in the performance of this book. I bought the book because he was the narrator, but the story is excellent as well. Great plot, very interesting and I'm really looking forward to the final installment. The first book was more interesting of course as it usually happens. This is the usual middle installment that sets the stage for the end.

My least favorite of the series

Revisado: 02-11-14

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Yes because I wanted to find out what happened next, but it was incredibly slow and not much really happened.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

Meh

How did the narrator detract from the book?

While I am impressed with Mr. Dotrice's performance of the men voices, he SUCKS at performing Brienne, Danerys, Sansa and Arya. Every woman sounds like an old irish grandmother, which really detracts from the story.

Did A Feast for Crows inspire you to do anything?

no

Great story - fantastic narrator

Story good - horribly over produced rendition

Revisado: 02-08-13

What did you love best about Beautiful Creatures?

The story line was interesting and had some good twists. The dialogue was witty and fun.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Beautiful Creatures?

I liked hearing about the house and funny interactions between main characters.

What didn’t you like about Kevin T. Collins’s performance?

I've lived in the South all of my life and it was PAINFUL to hear the over produced and exaggerated accents the narrator used. He's obviously a skilled performer, so I blame the director for his performance. It TOTALLY detracted from the story and there were times I wanted to stop listening because of that.

Any additional comments?

I cannot say enough of how over produced this performance way. The music, the sound effects, the exaggerated accents. If I was the author of this book I would be pissed at how this performance detracted from the story.
