Gripping and Informative

Revisado: 03-04-21

Really interesting story. A straight from the hip account of a fighter pilot from Canada in the RAF.

The narrative style can be difficult to follow as it switches between first person and third person with no change in narration style. Narration is pretty good but the heavy accent may take some getting used to.

Could not be bothered to finish it...

Revisado: 11-26-20

Although this book has some interesting points and occasionally a good idea, it simply isn’t worth the time it takes to listen to.

You get the feeling that this is one of those stories that is written for the author rather than the reader.

The story is convoluted and you are constantly waiting for the point at which the story will get interesting.... Although I didn’t listen to the end it doesn’t matter. Not even a perfect finale would save this book.

Narration is just fine.

Hilarious and great fun

Revisado: 09-22-20

BBC comedy at its best. This is basically a recording of the TV series with some narration to fill in the gaps from not having the visuals. So occasionally you loose some context, but still very easy to follow.

Easy Education

Revisado: 10-08-19

This is a great logic resource, the lessons are easy to understand and full of humour, as are the examples of how various fallacies are frequently used in places like advertising and politics. Lots of appeal for students in their teens, but also helpful as an adult to become more familiar with the propaganda or marketing ploys I’m likely to be taken in by.
Highly recommend.

A great resource for regular attitude correction. Short, to the point, easy to read, challenging.

Another great Psmith book

Revisado: 04-28-15

The Psmith books are my favourite of all the Wodehouse classics and the narrator is excellent. This is a must get for any Wodehouse fan.

One of the best since...

Revisado: 02-12-15

The Chestnut King is the finale to a wonderful trilogy and Nathan Wilson is probably the best author of this genre since Tolkein and Lewis.

Very well and clearly narrated... Listened to it several times now and it doesn't get stale.

Really Good

Revisado: 02-12-15

Sutcliffe is a wonderful author and this is no exception. Narrator is clear and the recording good but it would have been better with a male voice narrating this story.

Marryat is a master story teller

Revisado: 03-05-13

Captain Marryat gives a sense of realism to his adventure novels which few authors rival. His knowledge of the sea makes it clear that he is no armchair author. His character development and sense of right and wrong leave most modern authors for dead.

Narrator is clear and on the whole easy to listen to although he doesn't quite capture the intensity of the story.

Not sure if this was a spoof or not

Revisado: 03-05-13

For those of you who are after an historically accurate representations of the Arthurian legends stay away from this book. Pretty sure that people in this era did not have spectacles, drink port, or complain about the lack of electrical motors.

Narrators voice is nice clear and easy to listen too but by his lighthearted rendition makes it sound more like a spoof than every.
