Dazzling, Romantic, and Witty

- Narrado por: Adjoa Andoh
An amazingly perceptive piece of writing
Revisado: 05-29-13
What made the experience of listening to Americanah the most enjoyable?
1. The narration - so beautifully read in so many voices - and everyone of them sounding so authentic
2. the story itself was a 'cannot put down'
3. the way it made me feel uncomfortable, angry embarrassed and challenged - yet told without seeming accusatory.
What did you like best about this story?
the challenge of listening to and reacting to how it is for other races living in a country where bigotry and prejudice are so deep seated - both subversive and overt
Which character – as performed by Adjoa Andoh – was your favorite?
Ifemelu
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
many many moments!
Any additional comments?
this should be a must read for everyone

Too much misfortunes for one person due a lifetime

- Patrik Hedström and Erica Falck, Book 7
- De: Camilla Läckberg
- Narrado por: Robin Bowerman
disappointing
Revisado: 04-23-13
What would have made Patrick Hedstrom and Erica Falck (7) – The Lost Boy better?
I wonder if the translation to English lost much of the impact. I found the constant use of common similes and metaphors childish and infuriating.
The story itself was gripping - but I struggled to continue listening as the writing constantly annoyed me.
I also did not like the narration - the tone varied between condescending and pathetic - not enough variation for other compex characters again - most annoying
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
The relationship between the "now" and "then" - which had me trying to work out the connection.
Re reference to parts already told. Did the writer think I couldn't remember?
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Robin Bowerman?
Sean Barratt
What character would you cut from Patrick Hedstrom and Erica Falck (7) – The Lost Boy?
The Super - time he went!

Historia
What happened to Jacques Gaillard? The brilliant teacher at the École Nationale d’Administration, who trained some of France’s best and brightest as future prime ministers and presidents, vanished ten years ago, presumably from Paris. This ten-year-old mystery inspires a bet—one that Enzo Macleod, a biologist teaching in Toulouse, France, instead of pursuing a brilliant career in forensics back home in Scotland, can ill afford to lose.
