The memoir in Part One is informative and highly interesting. The essays from the 1930s in Part Two are tremendously valuable — not only as historical documents but perhaps even more so for the present day. The narration is excellent.

Nice story.

It pleasantly has no sleaze.

But it is not a gripping mystery or an exciting romance.

This narration of Brideshead Revisited by Jeremy Irons is outstanding. And what a novel – wonderful.

Excellent (as were books 1-7). And the plot thickens. I sure hope Book 9 is not too far off.

For listening to Bk. 4 of this terrific series, I recommend printing out maps of Caedellium and Anyar. Having a visual sense of the geography of the island, in particular, will help the story in Bk. 4 make more sense. There are free maps at the author‘s website.

Terrific story. High quality work by the narrator.

The story was much more interesting than I expected from reading past reviews. It’s original and it is like a puzzle.

I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 because the historian character Matt is flat and the budding romance with him felt unconvincing. The reader is very good except for the voicing of this character. But those are minor qualms. The main characters and the storyline are interesting.

The responses in this rosary are by a group of people who are at various distances to the microphone so they sound disjointed. Poorly produced with very poor audio quality. This recording is unworthy to be sold at Audible.

The content, packed with archival research, is very interesting and provides a valuable contribution to understanding 20th and early 21st century American political history. The book is well organized and well written. While the style of the audio reading didn’t fit my preference, I didn’t find it as annoying as some reviewers describe. At least the audio quality is good and the reader was clearly well prepared.
