Not every author is lucky enough to have the perfect narrator, but Scalzi is with Wil Wheaton.

The Fuzzies.

Have you listened to any of Wil Wheaton and John Scalzi (Introduction) ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, but I will try others.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

not particularly

Any additional comments?

Scalzi did write a good story, not to diminish his work, but Wheaton raises the story a notch higher.

Not at all.

Long live Graeme Malcolm!

Revisado: 02-11-15

Where does Death of a Liar rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Any Hamish MacBeth mystery narrated by Graeme Malcolm always ranks among the best I've listened to so far.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Death of a Liar?

The arrival of a new policeman to room with Hamish just after getting rid of Dick.

What does Graeme Malcolm bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The wonderful accents and emotion.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Yikes! I have no idea.

Any additional comments?

I love listening to this series and worry about the author's age because I I don't want the series to end, at least not until Ms. Beaton finally lets Hamish find true love... besides his cat and dog.

A sad beginning with a happy ending.

Revisado: 02-02-15

What did you like about this audiobook?

I liked Saroo's practicality, acceptance of his adoptive parents as his "real" parents and the adoptive parents understanding of how to make Saroo a regular kid, not an oddity in a white world.

How has the book increased your interest in the subject matter?

It has increased my understanding of the desperate lives of the majority of Indian citizens.

Does the author present information in a way that is interesting and insightful, and if so, how does he achieve this?

The author's matter-of-fact presentation of what could have easily become overwrought melodrama made his story that much more amazing.

What did you find wrong about the narrator's performance?

I didn't find anything wrong. He did such a good job that I checked several times to make sure it wasn't the author narrating his own story.

Wow! Wow! Wow!

Revisado: 02-02-15

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would certainly recommend this audiobook to anyone who even halfway likes thrillers because it is the best thriller I've read/heard in several years.

What other book might you compare I Am Pilgrim to and why?

Perhaps an early Ludlum before his work became so bloated or Triple and The Key to Rebecca by Ken Follett. I Am Pilgrim is that good.

Which scene was your favorite?

There were too many good ones to choose.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

"The good don't die young."

Any additional comments?

Narrator was a great choice for this book.

Narrator distracting

Revisado: 02-02-15

What did you like about this audiobook?

The story was interesting.

How has the book increased your interest in the subject matter?

It really hasn't.

Does the author present information in a way that is interesting and insightful, and if so, how does he achieve this?

The information was presented in a straightforward way.

What did you find wrong about the narrator's performance?

While the heroine spent time in Ireland, she lived most of her life in the U.S. so the heavy Irish accent of the narrator was a distraction rather than an enhancement.

Do you have any additional comments?

Narrator makes the book

Revisado: 02-02-15

If you could sum up Burn in three words, what would they be?

Narrator is fantastic.

What other book might you compare Burn to and why?

I can't think of one offhand.

What about Danny Mastrogiorgio’s performance did you like?

He captures the character perfectly. And if he isn't who James Patterson had in mind, he should have.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

I can't think of one offhand.

Narrator hits the wrong note

Revisado: 01-13-15

What did you love best about Circle of Bones?

I like the story very much

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

The plot was tense at times, and, this being a new author to me, I couldn't be sure the good guys and gals would survive to the final page.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Angela Dawe?

Sadly, just about anyone. The narrator started off with far too much tension so that suspense didn't have a chance to build. Her odd intonation didn't help, either.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No extreme reaction.

Any additional comments?

The second book in this series is also narrated by the same individual so I won't be purchasing it as an audiobook.

Susan Bennett deserves even more stars

Revisado: 12-13-14

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend this audiobook because the narrator brings a good story to full life with her amazing range of voices and spot-on presentation of the characters..

Who was your favorite character and why?

I'm curious about the Reverend, who is more than he seems apparently, and just what it is Olivia does when she travels.

Which character – as performed by Susan Bennett – was your favorite?

She did them all so well it is hard to choose.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I wouldn't say I was moved, rather creeped out by the murderer and his/her explanation of why he committed murder because there are real people behaving exactly the same way.

Rene Auberjonois terrific as always

Revisado: 11-21-14

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Rene Auberjonois manages very well material that is fantastical and melodramatic and would seem ludicrous narrated by anyone else.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

Ending was fine.

Which scene was your favorite?

The ongoing search for the ingredients for the antidote.

Was Blue Labyrinth worth the listening time?

Very much.
