The narrator sounds like he’s talking over a crowd

Revisado: 06-25-24

The narrator sounds like he’s performing at a bar or someplace where he has to go for more volume than inflection. I read several reviews praising him, so though I didn’t like the sample, I thought he would improve with the dialogue. I should have trusted my own ears. Listen to the sample and see if you can stand it. If you can, the stories are a lot of fun. I’m going to have to return it and read hard copies I think.

An inspiring life story

Revisado: 08-10-22

I would have preferred a more streamlined telling. The writer jumped from one point to a future or past point several times and it was difficult at times to keep track of where you were in the story. A timeline would have helped. The story itself was amazing and worth puzzling out.

I can’t give the story a fair review yet

Revisado: 03-25-21

I’m writing this not for the story but for the performance. I have barely started and I wish I could chuck it because the narrator is not doing well at all. Other narrators tend to have a relaxing but humorous execution of the story which I think Wodehouse stories demand. This one is full of awkward pauses, very overdone voices, and annoying bursts of speed. And it’s the only version I see on Audible. I might get the kindle version and quit on this, it’s such a train wreck so far.

Didn’t listen to it because of the warning at the beginning

Revisado: 01-04-20

I wish the warning about mature content was somewhere in the description. If it were, I wouldn’t have chosen this book. I have like three originals I don’t enjoy or want to listen to that I’m stuck with because I didn’t know about the content.

not what I expected

Revisado: 06-12-19

I was hoping for more of a fairytale/ adventure story but there were a lot of sexual references. The parts of the story I might have found interesting- the farm and creamery, the charm of a small town-was buried under all that in my opinion.

with a preliminary p which however is NOT sounded

Revisado: 05-13-19

I love this book, and although the recording isn't the best, the narrator is good except in one point: he persisted in calling Psmith "puh-smith" or "psssmith" throughout the book even when reading the instructions in pronunciation given by the character.

the second act was okay

Revisado: 10-05-18

I almost quit several times. So many eye rolling comments like "the scent of healthy male sweat" and "he'd never had to [insert any effort] with a woman." Your usual Francine Rivers with a worldly man used to getting his way bullying a demure servant woman who takes his crap to make ends meet as she slowly influences him to change.
*spoiler alert*
After he messed up big time and she moved away, the story instantly improved as he tried to focus on his relationship with God and she made up with her aunt and forgave her. When they got together again it wasn't so cheesy. I wouldn't read it again though because I'd have to slog through all of that sensual cheesiness.

life changing

Revisado: 09-27-18

This was exactly what I've been looking for my entire life as a slob! Methods and ideas you can use immediately. I loved it and will be listening again!

an amazing book

Revisado: 06-05-18

Warning: not a young adult book. There are some bedroom scenes between married people, one which was very detailed that I found it necessary to skip over, and one separate and very disturbing scene which was a turning point in the book.
That being said, this is a very good book about two faithful women with a mother/ daughter relationship living totally different lives who kept their faith in God when they had to turn their backs on the people around them.

Helpful

Revisado: 04-15-18

I enjoyed this book, except for the Freudian theories about children in chapter...14 I think? the one about setting boundaries with children. I felt like that chapter was a little idealist as well, but the Freudian theories were out of date and disturbing in my opinion. I noticed the rest of the book had scads of scriptures to back it up, but there were no scriptures in that part.
