EVERYONE should read this book.

Revisado: 07-21-22

As a victim of domestic and intimate partner violence, it is helping me so much. I gave it to one of my abusers and she has been deeply effected. Our relationship is better now than it ever has been.

It even helped me interact with the abusers that have refused to read this book (including those who have openly refused to stop the violence). Im almost excited to respond to the next boundary violetion......... almost.

Big Yikes.

Revisado: 08-23-21

What an sad and upsetting book. If you have medical PTSD it might be a bit triggering.

While the titular case is not a real disease, it is reminiscent of people with progeria disease. It was hard to get through while remembering how people have treated me because of my disability.

its a mean book filled with mean people. great narrator though.

Proto-twillight zone

Revisado: 01-06-21

Good story, not spectacular, but interesting enough as a bit of science fiction history. unlike his other stories that remain fresh to this day, this short story has not remained culturally relevant. Reads like a proto-twilight zone episode.

Suddenly Jesus

Revisado: 12-18-20

I was not prepared for the sudden turn to Jesus in the last few minutes.

Its trying very hard to be a Jane Austin style Victorian high society uninspirrd characters and a dull story prevented it from being enjoyable for me

I did like the main character and her mentor, but I found the rest of the characters grating and iritating. the story never got me, but the descriptions of the scottish country could have saved it but that part of the story is rushed over for gossip. Being a huge fan of a Christmas carol I had hoped in choosing this book to find the character to have learned a lesson at the end of of the book. Nope. Just a sudden mini sermon. Bah humbug

Snore, but that's the point.

I could not keep my eyes open. It's made a real difference with my insomnia!

Great for meditations, not for learning history.

My only real complain is that the book is far far too short. I would have enjoyed more quotations, or at least some historical, geographic, or contextual background information.

How to manual for DIY intoxication.

Revisado: 08-19-17

If you want to know how to get wasted the old fashioned way, this is the book for you. He has gone to great personal lengths to experience and disseminate these lost historical recipes.

There have been many authors discussing intoxicants effects on history, this is the most entertaining by far.

Great stories, just a bit too short.

Revisado: 01-31-17

I could really enjoy the actors. The voices were never too silly or overacting so even as an adult I could enjoy it. Wish it were twice as long!

Full of stereotypes and tropes.

Revisado: 01-12-17

It's fine for someone who really likes Chriton, but it's not his best work, it feels very dated in its depiction of Africa. Great narration.

Well paced, entertaining, with a few minor issues

Would you consider the audio edition of A Christmas Carol: A Signature Performance by Tim Curry to be better than the print version?

The purpose of this audio book is to be a performance of the book by Tim Curry, in no way do i think his performance could be enjoyed via text.

What other book might you compare A Christmas Carol: A Signature Performance by Tim Curry to and why?

Nothing compares to A Christmas Carol, not even other Dickens works!

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

Tim Curry's Scrooge is a whiney toned and rather sniviling, which are two qualities i would not associate with Scrooge

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

Tim Curry staring as all of the character in, A christmas Carol. Truth be told that doesnt sound too bad!!!

Any additional comments?

Honestly The consistent whine of Scrooge can get grating, despite its short three hour length.
