The story and the performance was great. Some of the dialogues were a bit frustrating but perhaps that was by design.

The actor’s voice was a great choice is all I’m going to say. Great. The story was also good, perhaps fizzled out a little bit towards the end, but the setting and the premise was excellent.

Only 20 minutes in, but already had two “What did I just listen to” moments. This book sure will keep me engaged. The narration, too, is outstanding.

Performance and story both were great. I recommend all of the audiobooks from this author.

Having just listened to the sixth book I’m starting to get the impression that the author can’t fathom the idea of a woman experiencing a wide range of emotions for any reason other than being “stubborn”. The characters are static -all of them- and act the same way they have in book 1.
Performance: well, you know. Other reviews for volume 1 detail that already.

Overall I found the story entertaining and I enjoyed listening to the books. However, I felt that I too had a hard time getting over the narrator’s performance, although I felt that he exaggerated both men and women. I found that when I listened to the track at 115% speed I was able to bypass some of that issue, and the voices sounded more realistic.
I should mention that this repeated feedback - in my opinion - is only partially the narrator’s fault, as I thought that the characters were at times overall dumbed down and were portrayed with a difficult attitude.

All in all I think the three book bundle is worth the one credit, but I don’t think I would’ve been happy with my purchase had I bought them individually.

This heavy breathing - whispering narration was at times distracting, but I noticed that it was less noticeable when I increased the speed by 10%. Then the narrator’s voice became rather fitting to the story and overall I enjoyed the experience.

At times I felt that the story — both character interactions and the flow of events — was unrealistic, which irked me.
Narration was outstanding as always.

I love audiobooks narrated by the author to begin with. I also love books by Bill Bryson. Put the two together, and I am ecstatic. Thank you.
