"Gave Up"
I'm with the previous reviewer..I had to give it up..It was boring and not worth the time...
"Didn't really enjoy it..."
This became a case of "I bought it and I'm darn well going to finish it'. I've listened to just about every Titanic book out there and this one was my least favorite. The evil talking iceberg was downright creepy. It never occurred to me that the iceeburg not only anticipated the collision with great pleasure, but also derived personal satisfaction in the deaths of the passengers. Each time the iceberg spoke I wanted it to be over with. The same goes for the obnoxious talking rat whose voice and words were annoyingly repetitive. The voices and words of the men in the mailroom bordered on annoying as well. Sorry to say I can't recommend.....
"Wonderfully Entertaining!"
Sophie Kinsella does it again! I just loved this story! Great narration, too....If you are a fan of Sophie this is another great listen..if you aren't, you will be soon!
"Bizarre...."
This book was bizarre..I couldn't finish it. The narrator reads the entire thing, or up to where i stopped, as if she's patiently explaining to a toddler why he can't have candy before dinner..it's a condescending slow process to listen to it! And she uses a baby voice...That combined with the total lack of direction made this really bizarre...
"Ho Hum..."
This was a sleeper...I wanted to jump ship after 2 hours but I paid for it and was going to finish it! Which I did, but it never improved and i was relieved when it ended...it just didn't have anything in it that hooks the listener in...it's a bit aimless...and boring.
"UGH!!"
This is yet another shallow plotless book ..if you enjoy characters defined by frequent descriptions of what they are wearing, or thoroughly predictable big strong guy saving not so pretty but also very predictable girl, this one is for you! I found it too boring to continue...
"Not Good..."
Listened for a few hours and gave up...thought it really blah...I can't recommend...
"Yawn..."
I gave it a few hours and then stopped..I just couldn't get into it and found myself constantly drifting...
"Words can't express..."
How incredible this story is. I wish it could be a mandatory read for older teens...There is so much to learn in it's pages. Avery Brooks is phenomenal..This is a story that will have you crying and laughing and wondering how these things could have happened. I did see the movie many years ago and can safely say the book goes deeper and tells the story in a much larger way... I'm not a writer and I don't have adequate words to express how wonderful this listen was...I can only highly recommend...
"Stick with it!"
After about an hour of listening I was dismayed at having picked another "sleeper"...I stuck with it on principle and was very glad I did! It picked up and was very much worth the time. I highly recommend....I'm not going to elaborate further as the review above mine says much of what I would say...
