Review from Rilla of Ingleside →
I was really looking forward to a full cast narration of this book. Buyer beware- Jem has a British accent. Anne sounds like a pre-teen. I found it to be so distracting that I it’s on my DNF shelf. I wish I could get my credit returned.
Review from Mary Lincoln →
I loved the care with which Ruth Randall told Mary’s story. Lamon’s and Herndon’s book were so awful to her. I have listened to this book 3 times. It’s perfect.
Review from The Story of Walt Disney →
I thought was it being written by his daughter that it would cover what he was like away from the spotlight that cameras and what he was like at home.
FINALLY a well-researched, engaging book about a woman who faced challenges her entire life. Loss of parents, three of four children – and a husband murdered before her eyes. Pressure from family members who disagreed with her decisions, politics – or envious of her position. Other members trying to freeload or cash-in. Medical and psychological..
The context of the book is interesting at times, and boring in frequent places. What makes it excruciating to listen to though is the narrator. Her voice is grating and unpleasant when she is speaking naturally; when she breaks into her fake simpering Savannah southern Belle voice whenever she’s voicing Mary Lincoln, it’s absolutely nauseating…
I loved the clarity of her written voice and how undaunted she was in pursuing her career dreams, the way she handled her male pursuers and her inner dialogues. How smart she was and how gifted artistically.
This book came at the perfect time in my life I’m so grateful for coming across this beautiful information, thank you so much.
Oh boy, was I not expecting the intricacy of the themes! The last twenty minutes of the audiobook I spent standing with my mouth hanging open. When you think you figured out what this book is all about, know—you are wrong.
Great performance and history of the area. Truth of ghost tours that makes we want to take the black tours.
Review from Dead Pan →
This is a good cozy mystery. Good side characters, good storyline. It held my interest. I liked that it was in Virginia. It mentioned several places near me. Karen Commins does a great job narrating this book. I will look for other books that she narrates. Its easy to get wrapped up into listening to..
