Superb story but weak narration

Revisado: 06-16-20

I loved this as an ebook so much that I jumped at the chance to enjoy it again in Audible format. Narration was hugely disappointing, however. I expected to hear English with an accent from somewhere on the Sub-Continent. Instead I heard a fairly low energy, generic American accent. I did not finish the Audible book and intend to return it.

I look forward to reading more of Purveen Mistry, Esquire’s adventures in future ebooks.

Superior PP fanfic

Revisado: 04-26-20

The storyline is strong and the author carried the convoluted plot twists successfully to throughout the entire tale. Unlike weaker fanfics that often become boring in the last 25% of the story, this one holds the readers interest with well drawn characters and superb setting. No historical blunders or errors in customs mar this story.

The narrator of the audible version gives an impeccable performance of all characters, rendering the authors intent in feeling and personality of each individual.

I highly recommend the story and audible performance to any Fan of Austen “variations”.

So disappointed I dId not finish it

Revisado: 07-06-19

I love the Alien stories—movies, novels, and audiobooks—and I own copies of most.

In theory this story idea is good—what happened between Aliens and Alien III. But too much of the narration is a boring synopsis of the last hours of Aliens. The remaining story is as flat as the retrospective, As another reviewer said, good thing it was free. The acting falls far below the quality of a single narrator-style presentation.

Wonderful story and performance but...

Revisado: 05-28-18

There were several skips in the narrative-technical issues that detract from enjoyment of performance. Audible should do better job of technical editing.

Wonderful performance!

Revisado: 05-07-17

A comfortable historic romance rendered extraordinary by the incredibly talented performer. From the broad Yorkshire dialect to the drawling upperclass tones of Vincent, from male to female voices -- all were perfectly performed and not read. Highly recommended .

This one's real too!

Revisado: 01-09-17

TJ Klune delivers another uproariously funny chapter in the lives of best friends, brothers, and lovers in Tucson. Paul and Vince, of Tell Me It's Real, reappear, with several great scenes involving Paul's inimitable family. The current story focuses on Sandy and Darren and the life of a drag queen. Like TMIR, the Drag Queen and the Homo Jock King makes me laugh out loud again and again. But as much as I enjoy the story, it's the superb narration that makes me give the heartiest recommendation to all to try the rare treat of an excellent story supported by a narration so superb that it elevates the entire work to something even better than the story alone.

Congrats to author and narrator, you truly deserve each other!

Charming story but disappointing narrative-DNF!!!

Revisado: 06-11-16

Chico is a charming main character, and the story itself is light, amusing, and entertaining. I have enjoyed many of this author's narrated stories already, so I succumbed to the temptation of immediate purchase without listening to the sample.

This narrator sounds like he is doing voiceover for a rather boring nature show, his voice holds none of the nuances of expression one would expect in a story about humans instead of gerbils. I listened for about 20% of the narration, after all sometimes narrators do improve as they warm to the story. But to no avail, I simply could not finish, this lovely story was rendered boring, and I intend to return to Audible for a refund.

I expect more than someone simply reading a story aloud when I purchase an audible story. I expect a performance, why else would I spend money?

I cannot recommend this audiblized story to anyone. By all means read the ebook, Ms Cooper is a very imaginative storyteller.

Superb narration for superb story

Revisado: 05-24-16

As much as I enjoy reading Alexis Hall's excellent prose, this time I enjoyed hearing it even more. These narrators brought the characters to life by dramatizing the story, not merely reading Hall's beautifully literate prose.

I highly recommend this production, and know I will listen to it many times.

Sharpe and Harper begin

Revisado: 03-21-16

I love the story of the start of Sharpe's friendship with Patrick Harper, and continuing life in this man's army. Excellent narration by Davidson, who I first encountered in the Jeeves stories.
