I enjoyed the book, but detested the performance

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I love this series! I love Lori Wick! I have never read a book of hers that I haven't liked. However, the performance by Virginia Leishman left a lot to be desired. Now don't get me wrong, her style of reading was good for the most part, and the various voices that she used for the different characters was also good, it was the noises that she kept making with her mouth while she was reading that drove me insane. Every time she made one of those noise I wanted to cringe. At one point during this book, it got so bad that I almost gave up on the entire series when I realized she read all the books. The noises that she made almost sounded like chewing or like she was swishing the spit in her mouth around. It was just gross and I believe I will stick to reading these on Kindle from now on.

Would you be willing to try another one of Virginia Leishman’s performances?

No

Pomp and Circumstance

JWright
A story of customs and past times of seventeenth century England, this work reminds me of those of Jane Austen.
We focus on characters and their relationships during a “proper” culture. God’s word is prevalent throughout.
I loved the narrator’s lovely accent!
If you are searching for suspense, this novel is not a choice. However, if you desire a step back to a less complicated time, you will enjoy this novel.

Nice book

I enjoyed the storyline and, having read the other books in the series notes the characters were consistently interconnected. The only issue for me, was the voice the narrator chose for Cassandra. She seemed to not be able to sustain the timbre and I found it distracting.

Enjoying the story

I did find it just a little distracting to hear the narrator’s swallowing etc. while reading. Otherwise she did a very good job with accent and expression. I think she must have had a cough drop in her mouth while reading.

Enjoyable

Nice to have some scripture in a story. Romance without the smut. Thought provoking on how to relate to people and to God.

My Old Friends

I love the English Garden Series. They are my old friends. When I’m in a slump, I pick these up and re read. This is my first time listening to them and I love the narration. The Visitor has fun characters and appearances from the previous books.

The Visitor

I love Love all of Lori’s Wick books. She is such a talented author.

Thank her for her work. I have almost all of her paper back books and now I finally discovered she had audible ones as well. . I am a little behind but blessed abundantly!

Blessings to all who pull these together.
