Revisado: 11-16-20

Good listen

The whole family (5, 7, 10, 12, 36 & 39yrs.) enjoyed this story, but it left us hanging. Will there be a second book?

I'm no physicist but...

Revisado: 04-13-20

loved this. I dabble in scifi and physics is an unknown but I really appreciated how easy this was to understand at least superficially to the layperson. very interesting and fun.

Meh

Revisado: 02-07-20

I got this book based on the very favorable reviews I read on Audible, but it just didn't do it for me. I listened with my four children (ages 4-11yrs) and none of us ever really got into the stories. I don't know if there are illustrations that go with the physical copies of the book. If there are that might help engage us more, but overall it was just okay.

What's not to like

Revisado: 02-07-20

Based on others' reviews of the narration I almost didn't get this book. Glad I threw caution to the wind in favor of a story I know and love. I didn't find the voice of the high witch to be unbearable. It isn't easy to understand, but it isn't supposed to be clear since the high witch is supposed to have a heavy accent. Even if the voice does bother you, you'll only have to listen to it for a brief portion once in the book. Great story and good narration. My kids also give it high marks. My kids did ask me to read the high witch's part from the book and of course I tried to put as much gusto and accent into it as the narrator did, but they did stop me and ask questions. I would listen again!

great story and insights

Revisado: 05-06-19

Lund's insights into the culture and story of Christ's ministry and life are very interesting and give deeper meaning to my personal study of the bible. I listened to this with my wife and young children while studying the New Testament and it's a great companion to bring the Bible to life.
At first I wasn't sure I liked the performance, but after an hour or so he had brought the characters to life for us and though his deep voice probably isn't great for female characters it ended up working for my immersion into the story and people.
I can't wait to listen to the next book in the series.

my children really enjoyed it

Revisado: 12-30-18

We enjoy listening to books as a family. It all started with the Harry Potter series. Percy Jackson was enjoyable for the whole family. The narrator has a youthful voice (dunno if he's actually young), but I think that added to our connection to the story. We look forward to listening to more in this series.

interesting and fun

Revisado: 10-11-16

this book got me even more excited and interested in the natural world around us all. as an entomologist I enjoyed the insect stories, but also loved his beautifully articulated introductions to lichens, foliar senescence, and various bird species.

interesting and even a bit fun

Revisado: 08-31-16

I enjoyed listening to this book on my rather long commute. As a budding entomologist who works closely with the public I found the insight provided to be helpful in understanding the reactions I have seen during outreach events and even some of my own emotions. The narration by Jack Marshall was a bit Bill Shatner-like but considering the material I think he did very well in presenting information that could be a bit dry at times.
