Can we re-record this one please?

Revisado: 11-03-21

The narration is absolutely brutal on this. We really need this one to be redone for the love of all mankind. What a disappointing shame to have such a great story lost with poor narration. The narrator yelled the story rather than live it breath it. We must all understand that there will probably never be a better narrated book than “the prince of tides” (God bless frank muller) but there are so many great narrators that would have knocked this out of the park. This narration was equivalent to asking me to play a strata-various at a wedding (I have no understanding of how to play any musical instrument.) if they ever re record this, I’ll be the first to snag it up! But unlike my other conroy books, this is a listen once only, never to be listened to again until it’s a fixed version.

Good and Bad

Revisado: 03-08-19

The first 5 hours is extremely boring. The last 6.5 hours is extremely captivating. You need those first 5 hours to set up the last 6, but its a chore to get there.

Good but.

Revisado: 07-17-18

If you’re already working in a creative field... you may want to move along. This book will be a “you’re preaching to the choir” type of listen.
A synopsis of the entire book.... creative people work hard.
On another note, what is up with this narrator and his reading style? Why does he continuously pause mid sentence every sentence through the whole book?? It’s a bizarre reading style.

Great Book, but requires concentration.

Revisado: 03-15-18

John Hart has become one of my favorite authors over the years and this book is no exception to his great work before. J.H. is one of those authors you REALLY wish would put out 2 books a year (or more if it were possible).
This one is another great J.H. but.... buyer beware, or buyer be ready. I found this one required extra concentration to follow. I kept finding my self lost and having to go back and re-listen to catch things I had missed. This one is a great candidate for a long road trip, not a day to day multitasking listen. The good news about that is... When I go on my next road trip, I'll re-listen to this and it'll be like a new J.H.

Jeremy Bobb did an outstanding job on narrating!

You can't miss with a John Hart, just know that this one may require a little more ear / brain coordination.

Yawn

7 hours into this book I finally pulled the plug realizing nothing was ever going to happen in it.

Well.....

Well..... That was confusing.

This was a good story but I don't recommend multitasking at the end. Pay attention so your not scratching your head in confusion.

The ending

Revisado: 03-29-16

This book was moving along nicely and about 2/3 of the way in I thought I had the ending figured out and couldn't wait for it to unravel.... Unfortunately the ending I thought I had figured out was not the ending! My conjured up ending was better than the actual ending. Good book, I just wish there was a stronger ending.

Attention Authors!

Revisado: 02-07-14

Attention Authors! You are authors, that is your profession and your specialty. PLEASE do not try to be a professional narrator! Fans of your work wait a long time for your books to come out and it isn't fair to the listeners to have the book compromised by poor narration! You are authors not professional narrators. Let them do the narrating and you do the writing and every one will be better off for it. This is twice this year that I have listened to great books by great authors who for some reason feel they should be the narrator and in turn make the listening experience a tough listen to endure.... With that said, If you listen to Donna's "Goldfinch" THAT WAS AWSOME NARRATION!

The story was compelling and a great story to follow however I kept feeling like the big plot twist was right around the corner and it never came. by the end of the book I felt like the entire story turned out to be fairly predictable.

Really good...But.

Revisado: 02-25-13

This was a good one! If you liked Gone girl then you'll like this one. The one down fall I found with this book was the "who done it factor" was pretty obvious about 1/4 into the book and you spend the rest of the book listening to how they did it rather than trying to figure out who did it. None the less this was a good one. I'd give it 4.5 stars if audible gave us that option.

Don't Judge a Book by it's Cover!

Revisado: 09-25-12

Fascinating stuff. If you've ever been courious about doping in cycling... this is the behind the scenes insider story. This book tells you what they do, how they do it, who is doing it and answers the biggest question of all, how they pass the doping tests. If there is still any one out there that still thinks Lance is a saint... this book shows you some of his twisted darker sides.
The methods they use to get away with doping, is stuff straight out of movies. If your a cyclist or keep up with the sport, you'll find it even more captivating since you know all the charicters. Not a cyclist? You'll still find this book beyond interesting. The bad thing about the book... THE COVER! If ever there was an example of don't judge a book by it's cover... THIS IS IT!

Job well done guys!

Thanks for providing this in audio format! Wish Landis' book was audio and "From Lance to Landis"
