Astonishingly good - I thought the audio couldn't improve on the printed version. I was wrong.   posted Mar 15, 2011 at 6:44PM

A fine biography. In audio, Andre Braugher and Lanie Kazan lift it to heavenly heights. It moves along briskly and takes you for a trip you won't soon forget.   posted Mar 15, 2011 at 6:42PM

Heinlein's YA yarn is good for all ages. I listened to the production (done play-like with good readers) with Daniel Bostik at the helm. Recommended.   posted Mar 15, 2011 at 6:38PM

Get your Gaiman as a well-produced and -acted playlet or two. Worth listening for sure!   posted Mar 15, 2011 at 6:34PM

Read it in print. The audio emphasizes the poor characterization and pedestrian pace of this book, which is just a bit of diverting fun on the page.   posted Sep 20, 2010 at 1:31PM

Brilliant writing shines through when a great voice reads it aloud. Yes, the Nazi era is awful. Yes, the story is told by Death. There is a relish for life and the ordinary Germans who battle through the horrible times which lifts this book up. And this narrator does some fine voices for the Germans.   posted Sep 20, 2010 at 1:25PM

I'm very glad to have listened to this epistolary novel (excellent in any format) because the British voices are brilliant and bring the book alive.   posted Nov 28, 2009 at 4:09PM

Brutally honest.   posted Nov 11, 2009 at 12:55PM

The best kind of oddball Fantasy Detective hybrid.   posted Nov 11, 2009 at 12:54PM

I wish I had read it on paper instead of listening.   posted Nov 11, 2009 at 12:54PM

This one is GOOD peculiar.   posted Nov 11, 2009 at 12:53PM

Wonderful Minnesota Hero-Writer. I love all the books in this series. This one is a good example of how well they translate to audio.   posted Oct 14, 2009 at 2:36PM

Michael Connelly's books are usually police procedurals; this is a new protagonist. They're all very good. I'm recommending this one because in audio it snapped with life.   posted Oct 14, 2009 at 2:33PM

Discover this brilliant writer in one of her lighter stories (she can be dark).   posted Oct 14, 2009 at 2:30PM

I'm just plain crazy about Terry Pratchett. No one does Genial Satire better these days. And the Discworld is fun, fun, fun.   posted Oct 14, 2009 at 2:28PM

A perfect book. Sissy Spacek is the perfect reader for it.   posted Oct 14, 2009 at 2:25PM

Craig Johnson is a national treasure.   posted Oct 14, 2009 at 2:19PM

A great premise, and a powerhouse of a female lead.   posted Oct 14, 2009 at 2:16PM

A fine writer, lost to us now. This one in the series (#2) is my favorite to listen to, but they are all excellent.   posted Oct 14, 2009 at 2:05PM

If you buy the premise, these novels are addictive. Some are better audio "listens" than others. This is one of her best.   posted Oct 14, 2009 at 2:02PM

Cindy Cheung does a superb job rendering the many voices and the book is better than a vacation.   posted Oct 9, 2009 at 1:31AM

Fun horror? I can't resist the premise: an author stalked by a psychotic critic!   posted Oct 9, 2009 at 1:29AM
