How Do I Delete Thus !

Revisado: 04-08-22

Worth exactly what I paid fir it. Nothing. The readers sound like two teens having a sleep over, staying up late and thinking they’re really doing something.

Must King shove his politics at the CUSTOMER?

Revisado: 08-17-21

As a long time fan of King, I'm done. His hatred for Trump is shoved into this story repeatedly. It isn't done well. It is not a relevant part of the story or the character. It's forced and unnecessary. And doesn't work. I would bet he wouldn't have done this, before he was as successful as he has become. It's insulting to the reader.

I had never read the Dark Tower series. I used credits to put the first one in my library. I'm returning it.

NO Personal Politics

Revisado: 03-26-21

In the first few chapters, I found the subject and it's unfolding interesting. As I listened, I wanted to say
"ok ok move along". Just too many small details of Vanessa's day, on and on it went. I have never had a problem with the tedious length of books by Stephen King, English lit etc. But, this was not interesting enough to add anything of substance to the story. HOWEVER, when the author threw in gratuitous slams at Republicans, twice, without context, without it giving the reader/listener any more content, it was apparent that she just HAD to make a political statement. I do hope she realizes that there is bound to be a good portion of her audience who will be insulted. I'm not easily insulted. But, I do know when I'm being slapped in the face. Ultimately, a novelist is an entertainer. Write a good story. Keep gratuitous political slams out of it.

Politics Here?

Revisado: 02-05-21

I'm an avid Connelly fan. At least, I was. I've listened and enjoyed all the Bosch series and have enjoyed Micky Haller almost as much as Bosch. Peter Giles is perfect for this genre. HOWEVER, when an entertainer, (I would put a writer of novels in this category) just HAS to insert his politics into the story, where it is totally unnecessary to the plot or story line, I AM DONE. The love story is over. Ruined.

Gone With The Wind-light. Every single Southern plantation pre-Civil War cliché that could be dredged up, was. I should’ve read the reviews. The reader did a good job of the myriad voices, multiple types of southern dialects , both male and female. However, there seems to be an ordinate usage of the words again and against. This reader, speaks in a neutral Midwestern voice when she is not speaking for the southern characters. But, insists on pronouncing again and against as agAyn. & agaYnst. It becomes distracting and annoying. Also, throughout the book a character says something, then the reader has to explain it to their listener. This can’t be blamed on the reader of course. I will chalk off to the writer thinking the listeners are idiots.It’s quite condescending to the listener. Akin to someone telling a joke. Then, explaining the punch line. Altogether I found this book unbearable.

I listened to this to the end. But, knew how it would go very quickly. It was just the details to get through. Very disappointing. I didn't know Ken Follett was a romance author. the reader was very good. But, it was just soooooooooooo thin The only interesting bits were the information about the Scottish slaves. As a n Irish/Scott, I'll have to look into that further. i thought I wanted to read the Kingsbridge Series. But, no. Not my cup of tea.

Serprisingly Terrific

Revisado: 08-08-20

I have been disappointed in the other free books I've listened to. I almost didn't listen to this one, for that reason. I'm so glad I did. It was well written and the voice actor did a great job.

Not listenable

Revisado: 03-06-20

The information is read in a monotone and more of a list of events. I was looking to be educated in Biblical understanding of what End Times means. Very disappointing. I am returning it after less than an hour of listening.

Half a story!?!

Revisado: 11-12-19

I was surprise when the story suddenly came to a halt. It had just ramped up and come to a point where it should then have unfolded and wrapped up. It was like reading a book and finding out halfway through that someone had stolen the rest of the book.

I stopped listening after an hour.

Revisado: 09-23-19

I ordered this book because Bryan Cranston is the narrator. I didn't get a chance to enjoy him. By an hour into it, I was struggling to keep listening. Much of it is a list, another list, another list of "stuff". While i get the importance of the list being the title of the book, It became unbearable to go any further. Very disappointing.
