"Vanity Fair"
This is not a book, it is mereley a compilation of self-promotion articles of the author's buddies.
"A wonderful classic"
A superb sample of the Gentleman Cabrioleur adventures.These marvellous classic tales transport us to the elegant Belle Époque in the company of the supremely charming Master Criminal Arséne Lupin a man who devotes his outstanding skills to the delightful and very lucrative métier of burglary.
A great narration is the icing on the cake.
"Hilarious"
This is a very, very funny book and the narration is outstanding. The british accent and slang is dense and takes a while to get used to. It is by all means worth the effort though: it is funny, witty, and highly original. I hope it will have a sequel!
"Perfect for Whispersync for voice"
Audio is not the best format for this book - you will want the new Whispersync for voice that allows the use of the written text for referencing and reviewing.
"Slow talking redefined"
This is an attempt to to filter myth from fact in the murky self-development arena. Some good information and bs debunking makes it worth the time.
But the narrator... this guy redefines the meaning of "slow talker". I had to set the speed to 1,5x (some parts 2x) to be able to go through the book.
"A classic that is still a very good story"
This is a story about the enduring network of former nazis and how they plan and act to perpetuate their influence and protect the former SS members. Still a very good plot well worth the time.
Someone (the narrator?) opted to have all the german characters speak english in a squeaky pitch with a german (?) accent. Irritating and distracting,
"Very good"
This is an engaging tale with fascinating characters - and nicknames to boot - and a superb narration.I only found it lacking when explaining why Gaspipe converted into a rat.
"Should have known better..."
I keep forgetting to check for the "abridged" mention. I have yet to like an abridged audio book I liked. This one was no exception. It is a far cry from the unabridged written book I bought some 25 years ago.
"Solid thriller"
Yet another solid thriller from Eric Ambler. What I appreciate most is the dynamics and spareness: he says what he has to say - and no more - to keep the reader engaged and the plot unfolding at a good pace.
"Rotten Thing"
The previous novel of Bazell although not great was okay. This supposed sequel alternates being flat boring with being exasperatingly ridiculous.
This is obviously a contract driven book, the author has no story to tell.
"Couldn't force myself to like it"
I found the characters their language and their emotions, actually the whole story too inconsistent and unreal. I struggled to get to the end of it.
