Danish Princess

Cliffhanger

Revisado: 04-22-25

My heart was pounding and my tears were flowing. Damion is the most perfect vampire male I’ve ever known and Anthony was as sexy as ever narrating this book. I’m getting the next book asap!

Weird Man, Weird...

Revisado: 12-03-15

First, it's really short. Like an hour or so. Second it's like "Hitler for Dummies" written by a Nazi Apologist. And finally, it's has distracting background battle sounds throughout. Probably shouldn't bother.

In Depth and Pretty Detailed History

Revisado: 10-26-15

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

Only if they were interested in the Norman Conquest or a serious Anglophile.

What about Frazer Douglas’s performance did you like?

It was pretty good, but he did a little over acting when pretending to be someone other than the narrator.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No freaking way. Way too detailed to absorb all at once.

Any additional comments?

Great book with reasonable narration if you are into English history about the Norman Conquest. If not, it would be drab, dry and tedious.

Most Moving Story I Have Read in 20 Years

Revisado: 10-07-15

Would you consider the audio edition of Kimberly's Flight to be better than the print version?

Probably not, but don't let that stop you. The only knock on this is the narration, but the story is so good, it makes no difference. The narration is not horrible, just a little wooden.

What did you like best about this story?

The individual details and in-depth sharing of her life.

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

The Real Life Story of An American Soldier Who Gave it All

Any additional comments?

I can't put into words why this was so good. I think it has to do with the reality of it. Just give it a listen and if you can turn it off I would be amazed.

Dismal, Dismal, Dismal.

Revisado: 09-08-15

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Maybe a bright spot or a decent human at least once in a while.

What could Wendy Lower have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

It was just hours of wretched descriptions of horrible human beings. And rather dry at that.

Would you be willing to try another one of Suzanne Toren’s performances?

NOPE.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Seemed a fairly accurate description of some very interesting psychological studies.

Any additional comments?

I know there are some hard truths in this book and I appreciated them, but damn, you can't listen to it for hours straight without wanting to pull out your fingernails. The narrator was as horrible as the subject matter; dry, depressing and just plain sad. No thanks.

Super, Super and Well Read

Revisado: 07-22-15

Would you listen to Pacific Crucible: War at Sea in the Pacific, 1941-1942 again? Why?

Yup. Because the narrator did a great job (as did the author of course) of reading like he cared about the content. He even sounds a bit (not too much) like a newsreel reader of the period.

Any additional comments?

This is very complex subject matter and the author did a great job of being detailed but keeping the overall picture in sight. Lots of nice, nuanced points and facts woven in for good measure.

Meh, Wordy, Overthought - a few Good Thoughts

Revisado: 07-22-15

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Made it more readable. Very Herky-Jerky both with it's timeline and thought process. It would have been nice, for example, if they had clearly stated the 3 laws; they NEVER did, not once. I was always loosely described in a sentence and differently each time.

Would you recommend The Three Laws of Performance to your friends? Why or why not?

Maybe, if I thought they weren't in touch with reality.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

Loosened up. Very rigid, sounds like he's reading it for the first time. I have this problem with a lot of Audible Narrators. You wouldn't think it'd be that hard to get someone to just read a book nice and evenly.

Could you see The Three Laws of Performance being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Dear god, no, unless they were trying to anesthetize the audience.

Great 1st Person Humor and Likability

Revisado: 07-22-15

Would you consider the audio edition of The Wrong Stuff to be better than the print version?

Probably not as the narration was the only thing holding this one back.

What did you like best about this story?

That it came from a 'regular guy' aviator, that is, he was a co-pilot on a bomber, not a fighter jock of whom much has been written.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

Not spoken with his North East US dialect, not pronouncing 'r's and overacting. A 'straight' read would have been miles better.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, but it did carry along at a good pace and I was wanting more when it was done, despite the narration.

Any additional comments?

The Narrator is stilted and corny but not unlistenable. The story is good enough that the narrator doesn't destroy it but I'd rather read the hard copy myself.

Worst. Narration. EVER.

Revisado: 07-13-15

If you could sum up Snow & Steel in three words, what would they be?

Great Book, Crap Narration. Oh, wait, that's 4...

What other book might you compare Snow & Steel to and why?

I don't know because I couldn't make it through the first 15 minutes of the narration that made me want to pull my eyelids off with Channel-Lock pliers.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Paul Boehmer and Tim Reynolds ?

Anybody, dear god, literally ANYBODY else but the man who did the narration.

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

The book seemed like it might have been awesome but I. Couldn't. Get. Past. The. William. Shatner. Narration. For. Whom. English. Was. Not. A. First. Language.

Any additional comments?

Literally spent 30 minutes on the phone with customer service to make them add this BACK to my queue so I could leave this review because you can't leave reviews on books you don't own!?!?!? WTF. This was SO BAD a narration that I felt a public DUTY to make sure that this guy NEVER narrates another English language book in this or any other lifetime.
