Very Enjoyable

I very much enjoyed listening to this book and I’m looking forward to see how much I can switch over to this sort of being.

Silliest audio book ever

Revisado: 05-22-24

I truly cannot believe that anyone allowed this to be sold as an audiobook - especially on Audible. Practically the whole book is a discussion about various rooms and spaces that are clearly pictured in the book but not available in the associated PDF. So be prepared to listen to a book of visual descriptions but nothing visual to see - a recipe for sheer frustration! And yes, I've checked the available PDF and have even gone to the authors' website looking for an additional PDF that might make this book make sense. If these women were hoping to get fans or followers from this book, it accomplished the opposite.

In need of an editor to pare this book way down

Revisado: 04-06-18

I enjoyed this book as it started and very much enjoyed the narrator's accent which seemed to add to the story. But not quite half way in, it started to drag in the worst way and I ended up feeling like the whole story could've been much, much shorter and less annoying had an editor pared things down.

Entirely Predictable Story

Revisado: 03-06-16

How on earth did this book get so many good reviews? I bought the book based on them and kept listening because of them, thinking that maybe the plot would finally change or do something unexpected. But it just drags on and on and it ends just the way that you think it's going to within the first few moments of the book.

Around midway through the book, I couldn't take it anymore and jumped to the last two hours... I hadn't missed a thing. The plot was exactly where you'd expect. How can this book be called a thriller when it is utterly predictable? I truly feel like I want a refund on the time I wasted listening to this... in fact, I'd pay to get my time back.

Having said that, I will say that I think that it was well narrated and hope that I'll come across a better book with the same narrator.

This book lit a fire in me and my painting is improving as a result. I can't recommend the book highly enough.

The best history book that I've ever heard

Revisado: 01-23-13

I'm blown away by this book. It fills in a huge gap of human history. How did China learn of Europe, Europe of China? Gunpowder, printing, the compass... and this is just scratching the surface of the impact that the Mongols had. The narration was fabulous. The story was fabulous. I wish that I could give the book more than five stars.
