Piranesi lives in the House. Perhaps he always has. In his notebooks, day after day, he makes a clear and careful record of its wonders: the labyrinth of halls, the thousands upon thousands of statues, the tides that thunder up staircases, the clouds that move in slow procession through the upper halls. On Tuesdays and Fridays Piranesi sees his friend, the Other. At other times he brings tributes of food to the Dead. But mostly, he is alone.

Whimsy and Wonder
Revisado: 10-21-24
A story for the curious and inquisitive which stokes your sense of wonder and, even in the midst of mystery and fear, manages to still be whimsical. A truly worthwhile listen, enhanced by the narration.

Erika Cass has a perfect family and a perfect life. Until the evening when two detectives show up at her front door. A high school girl has vanished from Erika's quiet suburban neighborhood. The police suspect the worst - murder. And Erika's teenage son, Liam, was the last person to see the girl alive. Erika has always sensed something dark and disturbed in her seemingly perfect older child. She wants to believe he's innocent, but as the evidence mounts, she can't deny the truth - Liam may have done the unthinkable.

Fine. Just fine.
Revisado: 10-01-24
The narration was frequently wooden, and the teenaged characters went from two dimensional to frankly unbelievable. Got through the first hour then skipped to the last four chapters to find out what had really happened. Save yourself the time.

Spellbinding
Revisado: 12-02-23
Like Granouille himself in all his guises, this story and performance were spellbinding. I could not put it down or turn it off. My house has never been cleaner nor my dog more exhausted from all the walks its been getting, just so I could listen more.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 1,698
The tales of The Silmarillion are set in an age when Morgoth, the first Dark Lord, dwelt in Middle-earth, and the High Elves made war upon him for the recovery of the Silmarils, the jewels containing the pure light of Valinor. Included on the recording are several shorter works. The Ainulindalë is a myth of the Creation and in the Valaquenta the nature and powers of each of the gods is described. The Akallabêth recounts the downfall of the great island kingdom of Númenor at the end of the Second Age, and Of the Rings of Power tells of the great events at the end of the Third Age.

Andy Serkis, unsurprisingly, brings the gravitas
Revisado: 07-11-23
As the title says, Andy Serkis brings the gravitas required of reading a tale spanning from a cosmogonic myth to a variety of romantic fairy-stories. This is what Tolkien himself stated his intention was in setting down the Silmarillion. His son, Christopher, then took his disparate notes and forged them into something greater than the sum of its parts. All of it is interconnected, and all of it has in some way to do with the History of the Elves. Yes, there are a lot of names. Yes, it's almost impossible to remember them all. That is not the point. When listening to Andy Serkis's deep, weighty narration you are carried away to this world of myth and fairy-story. You are caught up in the world-changing love of Beren and Luthien. You are horrified at the rise of the first Dark Lord, Morgoth. The listening in itself is somewhat of a religious experience, which seems apt when considering Tolkien's aims and his own personal faith, even though he explicitly stated that it was "fatal" for any legend of England to contain the Christian religion. This story is not Christian. It is English. And it is very great, in the eyes of Elves and the hearts of Men.

Remember, we're virgins
Revisado: 02-27-23
Couldn't quite get through the whole thing. Some may enjoy it, but certain bits got reused to the point of annoyance. The 'virginal' bards were especially grating. The voice work was entertaining for the most part. The story felt like a half-baked attempt at a Terry Pratchett / Miracleworkers style medieval comedy.

I almost finished the story, but couldn't quite get there. Left a bad taste.
