With so many twists and turns, this book goes on and on. This absorbing tale of life in King Henry's court is a great distraction from what's happening in the world right now.

What did you like best about this story?

The story drew me in, in a sick sort of way, like gawking at an accident.

Which character – as performed by Scott Shepherd – was your favorite?

"The kid" is a sad sack, who never really got a fair chance in life, but you can't help rooting for him and hoping he'll get a break. The narration over all was excellent.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I couldn't stop listening, carried along by curiosity and the beautiful descriptions of characters and settings, but my heart ached for them all.

Any additional comments?

The tale starts out almost believable, but slowly devolves into a series of vignettes of weird caricatures, and (unfortunately) "the professor" and his story become convoluted beyond recognition. I'm not sure if I exactly recommend this book, but it is certainly a memorable experience and well-crafted in many, but not all, respects.

My kids were looking forward to this book, but we gave up when they simply couldn't understand what was being said.

great narration; colorful characters; weak finish

Overall
3 out of 5 stars

Reviewed: 06-22-05

This clever yarn dives into the subculture of computer-obscessed programmers (and other lives affected by them), and is beautifully narrated by the author. The colorful characters are all larger than life, but the author can't seem to untangle the elegant web he weaves, and cops-out with weak ending that just doesn't match.

Looking for Alaska Audiobook By Peter Jenkins cover art

good yarn, poor delivery

Overall
2 out of 5 stars

Reviewed: 05-14-05

This wonderful glimpse of life in Alaska is ruined by the author's unbearably dull narration. I gave up before finishing it.
