Love this

Revisado: 04-15-25

I loved every aspect of this book. Reads just like a memoir, but better. It really makes you feel that late teenage mix of anxiety and invincibility because you don’t know any better. Very authentic and funny. Narration is phenomenal.

Didn’t connect

Revisado: 04-06-25

I suppose this is helpful for someone with the issue the author is addressing, but my own negative thinking is not really what is holding me back. Probably just the opposite. Was recommended to me, but wasn’t really relevant. There were a couple useful nuggets in here, if I hadn’t heard them before already in other similar self help/motivational material.

Beautiful

Revisado: 01-03-25

Really top notch experience. The writing and performances feel so organic, realistic, and like they were conceived together. Really beautiful book and young love, coming of age story.

Very enlightening

I think this will go a long way to helping me relate to and understand my co-worker, who I would like to have a personal friendship with.

Jeff Langham

Revisado: 09-04-24

Of all of Gregory Ashe’s characters, I think that Jeff Langham has the most moving and tragic fate. Really sticks with you.

I love all of Gregory Ashe’s series. The ending of this book in particular was so incredibly touching that it brought tears to my eyes,

Great characters

Revisado: 05-09-24

I really enjoyed the historically accurate take on the characters and the situations they live in. I love a gay MM mystery, hope the other books come to Audible.

I love these two

Revisado: 09-05-23

I love the tension in this series, both in the mysteries and the characters, within them and between them. Very realistic portrayal of personalities, I think, despite them not actually being all that appealing as people a lot of the time. They are both pretty broken to some extent. But they try for each other. Not even sure they are a healthy relationship, but it is well written. I was afraid this would get boring with them finally being together as of the last book, after the long buildup. I really loved the buildup.

One note on the ending. I hope we are not going on a journey of discovering faith. If so, I’m out.

Narrator is disappointing.

Revisado: 07-03-23

I am listening to these new versions into order. Have mostly enjoyed the new narration (except for Bill Nighy. did he ever wake up during sessions to record the footnotes?). I’m not a Planer/Briggs purist. (Though they are perfect.)

Until this book. Narrator is all wrong for this sub-series. So dry. And no variety to the voices. No enthusiasm. No energy.

Great narration

Revisado: 02-11-23

I love me some Nigel Planer from the original narration and I can get through the Tony Robinson narration from the abridged version, but as the Wizard/Rincewind sub-series is the least of the Discworld series, and the first two being the least of those (it all started here), I have never been able to make myself focus and pay attention to this sub-series in audiobook form until this version. Clear voice, not manic, takes time to tell the story. I am now much more enthused about exploring the whole series with the new narrations than I was. I love the Nigel Planer and Stephen Briggs versions, and I’m glad that experienced them that way for the first time, but I am looking forward to these new editions now, after a good deal of skepticism when they started coming out.
