Very Entertaining

Revisado: 10-07-19

Quite a few laugh out loud moments. Perfectly narrated by the author. I certainly don’t share his leftist politics, but still found this very entertaining. A must for Python fans.

Excellent

Revisado: 06-30-18

Terrific exploration of the events and people surrounding the Lincoln assassination, both before and after. Remarkably well researched. I also thought that the narration was quite good.

Amazing—Highly Recommend

Revisado: 12-31-17

If you love A Christmas Carol, I highly recommend this story. So unique. The author had me literally saying “Wow” aloud as I listened to this audio book. I was amazed how he flawlessly weaved such a fresh and clever take on the original story and maintained the same sense of awe and joy evoked by Dickens. Numerous times I found myself asking, “Ok, now how is he going to handle this event from the original storyline?”—only to be entertained in a way I couldn’t see coming. Simon Vance, as usual, is impeccable. So thrilled to have found this one. I’m going to try and get my hands on a hardback edition.

Very enjoyable

Revisado: 06-12-16

Concise, but enjoyable biography. I particularly like the discussions dealing with the ridiculous anti-Stratfordians. Yes, Shakespeare wrote Shakespeare. I thought this and Schapiro's book are the two best I have come across dealing with the authorship issue. In any case, I would recommend this book for anyone interested in Shakespeare.

Not one of his better ones

Revisado: 12-12-15

I love Kurt Vonnegut (and here there is a picture of a big heart). However, I don't believe that this is one of his better stories. Of course, he admitted it was not one of his better stories. In addition, because the drawings make the book a little more enjoyable, not having them makes it a little less enjoyable. John Malkovich (and here there is a picture of a bald man) does an OK job. However, his voice comes across as a bit bored.I'm curious how I would've experienced the story with a different narrator (and here there is a picture of a big question mark).

Wanted to like this

The narration was fine. The story just seem to drag on, and there really wasn't much excitement until near the end, and even that was a little corny. Overall, a fairly dull story.

Remarkable first novel

Revisado: 04-27-15

I thought it amazing that this was his first book. It is extremely well written and entertaining. I thought the narration was quite good as well. Although it seemed that the same voice was used for a number of different characters, it was still easy to follow the narration. I would definitely recommend this book.

Interesting

It reminded me of a lot of the things that I forgot from the 1980s. Pretty fun! I would recommend the book.

Very interesting

Revisado: 04-02-15

I was interested in learning more about the silent film era. This was an ideal book to start with. I had never heard of William Desmond Taylor, in his murder was obviously a critical event in film history. It was great to learn about the surrounding cast of characters as well. I highly recommend if you're interested in murder mysteries or the 1920s as well.

Good audio version

Revisado: 04-02-15

This is about as good as you are going to do for an audio version of Shakespeare. It was quite good.
