Love or Hate: I HATED

Revisado: 02-03-25

Weird sci-fi full of despicable people who enjoy killing & ruining as many lives as possible along with foul-mouthed acerbic talking dolphins. Only one nice guy & his 2 sci-fi cats. Extreme amount of cursing, especially f***. Only book I’ve read that I wanted to be over after the first 10 pages but obligated for Book Club. I think you’ll love or hate it.

Very Very SLOOOOOW

Revisado: 11-22-23

Consists of character-building episodes with few plots till the end. An abridged half-version might prove able to keep listeners’ attention.

So Enjoyable!

Revisado: 10-31-23

I highly recommend this Audible recording of P&P. Regardless if you have read the book umpteen times as I have, listening to the story, read beautifully by the narrator, seems to come to life in lovely ways I didn’t obtain from my readings. I will listen again & again to this book.

A Delightful British Mystery

Revisado: 01-27-23

A. A. Milne developed intriguing characters other than Winnie, Piglet, & Tigger! An enjoyable who, how & why murder mystery that kept me listening way past my bedtime! I wish Milne had written more adult books. To my understanding, he wrote this one for his father, a mystery lover.

Sweet Christmas Story. Excellent Narration.

Revisado: 12-19-22

An Old-Englishman whose personality resembles the modern-day Grinch, struggles mightily with his internal & external emotions. The adorable children are personified so well that I wanted to invite them here to share our holiday season! Furthermore, the Narrator is beyond superb. I will search her name for Audible books narrated by her rich, full voice and well-appropriated characterizations.

Engaging American Revolution Tale

Revisado: 09-29-22

I had little hopes to enjoy this historical fiction novel since personally, I didn’t find the title appealing. How wrong I was! This book is an engaging tale of events before and during the American Revolution. The author did thorough investigative research before writing about characters, events, and locations down to small details such as the weather on an actual date. Many characters were real people, the most well-known being John & Abigail Adams who are major figures throughout the novel. A true litmus test for my level of enjoyment about a book centers on the feelings I have when finished reading. Yes, I was sad this one had to end…an A+ rating for me! I also felt personally enriched that I learned more about this important time in America’s history. I highly recommend this book to those who enjoy novels set during the American Revolution, particularly books centered on women “left at home” to survive and maintain the new country their men were fighting for.

A Lovely Mini-Series!

Revisado: 07-20-22

If you enjoy a lengthy yet engaging tale rich with vibrant historical British fictional characters, full of mighty attributes yet humanly flawed, I highly recommend this well-written novel. I would thoroughly revel n a BBC Mini-Series based on this work, resplendent with appropriate landscape cinematography and detailed inner conversations many characters have with themselves. After this enrapturing book, I want to linger among small English village churches. More importantly, I am behooved to look deeply within myself at some good as well as some undesirable traits, those seen and unseen, known and perhaps, until this reading, even when unknown to me. Thank you, Mr. Trollope, for lovingly encouraging me to do so.

Wonderfully Surprising!

Revisado: 06-28-22

After 2-3 depressing books in this series that I enjoy while doing house tasks, I was DELIGHTED by this one! A more complicated mystery that didn’t feel like a rewritten previous plot.

Unpleasant & Dour

Revisado: 06-11-22

I’ve read the Hamish Series in order, delightfully relishing most of them as I perform rote tasks or drive long spells. Even though the series plot lines remain similarly scripted as well as the unfolding of the mysteries at the end, I like the main character personalities & idiosyncrasies in addition to the cast of community figures. HOWEVER…for me, this novel lacked any endearing qualities on any front, character or plot wise. Even the two main characters are irritable & I couldn’t wait for this one to end. It almost seemed the writing was done hurriedly or while in a depressive state. I’m hoping for a better story & something enjoyable for listening in the next book.
