Molly Weasley

Preferred his other two books

Revisado: 02-26-25

I know I really loved the bank of godliness, and I also really loved The Farmhouse Five Go Quizzing. In this book, I found the characters in the town less charming that I was supposed to have. I didn’t like the people I was supposed to root for, and it was a bit more violent than I anticipated, having just finished the farmhouse five

Honestly, I needed this break –

Revisado: 02-22-25

This book is a standalone, and it was a lovely setting with inventive and interesting characters and a unique storyline. It would be so nice to live in this world and hang out with this team to solve puzzles. Very cool idea. I was definitely in need of a pleasant escape, and listening to this book surely did that for me! I am downloading another book from this author now …

Too long

Revisado: 01-09-25

Much too long. Pretty scattered, too — sometimes hard to follow. Many details that are irrelevant.

Not as good as the others, and I didn’t like the narration

Revisado: 11-26-24

This time the suspension of disbelief was too much: the clues were too obtuse to read and to stake everything on, and the lack of nobody being forthcoming at all and speaking in riddles was annoying and unrealistic. I mean, I know the books aren’t meant to be super realistic – but they usually hold together more. And the cliffhanger was a disappointing surprise because that means I know what the next book is about and I’m less interested in that topic. By the time we’re this far along in a series we don’t really need a cliffhanger to make sure we come back– i’d prefer a whole new story next time. And lastly, although I realize this makes me sound very complainy, which I’m not usually (I think I gave five stars to the last several books) — I wish the narration wouldn’t keep changing. I understand that the first gentleman died, and I was very grieved to hear that, because he was the voice of inspector Gamache. I came to like the second narrator, who was also very good in his own way. I was so disappointed to have the voices and personalities of my characters change with a new narrator who interprets phrases a little differently than I would have or than the other narrators probably would have. I have a consistent set of characters in my head and it messes with it when the narration keeps changing. I just wasn’t a fan of the story or narration this time.

Love the story, love the narrator

Revisado: 02-13-23

Wonderful book. This is my second time through because I love this book so much. I’m also in my 50s, but the Lockwood and co books hold up

Fantastic

Revisado: 12-31-22

The narration was delightful, as was the story. Just what’s needed when you’re feeling overwhelmed with serious stuff.

Outstanding

Revisado: 12-21-22

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and learned a lot. I highly recommend it. It’s very, very easy to listen to, injecting humor into a topic that is quite worrisome, but it does far more than that: it paints a picture of how we got here and concludes with absolutely sound advice for the path going forward.

A great book to keep a person company

Revisado: 11-29-20

I enjoy this book a lot. Central to the book, and highlighted by the outstanding reader, are people, their histories, and their personalities. Not central to The book are explosions, crashes, police pursuits, or fight scenes; I’m so glad. There are reasons to become deeply concerned about these friends of yours, but it’s a character-driven story rather than an adrenaline-driven story, and I enjoyed it very much.
