"Huge Disappointment!"
Better story!
Certainly not the next book in this series!
Difficult to understand and not a very appealing voice.
Boredom!
I was excited to begin listening to Outlander, but I have to say, this is the FIRST and ONLY audio book I've purchased that proved to be a huge disappointment. I tried several times to listen to this book, but finally gave up. The storyline is terrible and the performance sub-par. I was desperate to enjoy this book as I purchased it for a long car drive, but I stopped listening when I realized I was more bored listening to this book, than not listening to a book at all.
"Huge Disappointment!"
The characters were SO unlikeable that I found I didn't care what happened to them!
The characters
annoying adequate average
The plot's not bad, it's just that I had no interest in the characters.
"Shoemaker's Wife Has it All!"
The BEST!
Absolutely everything from the story to the narrator!
She is one of the best, if not the best, female narrator!
YES!
This is a fabulous journey!
"Shocked and Disappointed!"
A good story!
The third book in the Ken Follett trilogy, Fall of Giants.
It doesn't really matter who is cast as narrator, the story is unbearably painful.
I am shocked that I not only did not enjoy this book, but was unable to listen to more than two hours. I loved the Kite Runner. I completely devour historical fiction such as Unbroken and Ken Follett's trilogies. I look forward to Nelson DeMille thrillers and light-hearted novels featuring comedic heroines such as Stephanie Plum... but Life of Pi is horrendous. It is the most boring novel I have ever read or listened to. After at least two hours, STILL no plot! The story went nowhere and the characters are simply uninteresting to the point of "I don't care one bit about them or what happens to them". I don't understand why. Perhaps I should read the book instead, or better yet, see the film. I was so looking forward to listening to the story on a recent road trip, but instead had to purchase another audiobook instead. What a shame!
"Very Entertaining!"
Makes Me Smile!
Of course, John Corey!
Plum Island begins the John Corey series and sets the tone for even better stories down the road.
"Incredible!"
Absolutely!
Unbroken satisfies every thirst a reader/listener craves in a perfect story: addictive plot, colorful characters, and the desire to learn something.
No
Unbroken is without a doubt one of the greatest audiobooks out there. The story is incredible and the narration is flawless. The story grabs the listening from "word one"and doesn't let you go. The fact that Unbroken is historically based, blows my mind.A better story could not be made up. The main character is perfectly flawed as are those in his life. Unbroken is a "must hear". You will not be disappointed.
"Huge Corey Fan!"
Probably because Scott Brick is able to bring all the characters to life!
John Corey... funny... tough... smart... and charismatic.
I was thoroughly entertained and intrigued by a field of work I am unfamiliar with.
John Corey is a great character with a wonderful supporting cast and great storyline, voiced by the charismatic Scott Brick! The entire John Corey series is addictive, beginning with Plum Island, but be warned... only purchase Scott Brick's audiobooks. Once you tune into him, you won't be satisfied with any other narrator.
