Where does Aikido Au Revoir rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I like this narrator alot – that makes a big difference in the overall enjoyment. The story has some weaknesses, but I enjoyed it very much. Maybe top ten.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
Make the women less petty. Parker always seems to be the magnanimous guy – keeping in touch with these beautiful women that he falls for, who let him down. They never have the ability to see the bigger picture, and always end up being shallow.
Which character – as performed by Steve Marvel – was your favorite?
He does the central character, Parker, really well – just spot on. And he can do female characters without sounding silly or distracting. He does accents well – not just the accent, but the attitude. Great!
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Sensei in the south of France
Any additional comments?
Tell Daniel to stick to the mystery – write a separate book if he wants to expand on the Aikido philosophy – I liked a little of it, but not when it means dropping the thread of the story. And write a woman a cool as Parker! Even if they don’t work out, it doesn’t have to be bcse she’s flawed, shallow, or bi-polar!
