Annoying narration

Revisado: 07-02-24

Narrative voice for Queenie is so annoying I couldn't get past the first few chapters.
I enjoy Quinn's writing and I think the story will be good. I only hope when I read the print version I won't "hear" this Queenie's voice.

Kelley Grammer can sure turn a phrase

Revisado: 06-23-24

The story is perfectly read by the author. There are lines that are cleverly descriptive. The story has a kind of noir attitude reminiscent of Raymond Chandler.
Who knew Kelsey Grammer is also a terrific novelist?
I hope there will be more.

Didn't need the explicit sex

Revisado: 05-12-23

The story was an easy-going fluff. I personally don't find a need for explicit sex passages to make a story interesting or better. It detracts and reduces the book from a story that might be worth reading to just titillation for teen readers.
It takes more talent for a writer to convey passion without resorting to erotic passages. After the first episode about 2/3 the way in and it was like a dam burst. After that, it was one sex scene after the other.
Overkill, in my opinion.

Deeelightful!

Revisado: 01-30-23

From start to finish an entertaining read. Kathrine Kellgren's narration gives this wonderfully imaginative story an extra layer of fun.
Highly recommend for all ages.

Couldn't go the distance with narration

Revisado: 12-09-22

I've read print versions of many of the Hannah Swenson books and enjoyed them. However, the character voices performed by this narrator were just too painful to finish the book.

Inspiring!

Open your heart and mind to the possibility that angels are real.

When Kieth asks if you can recall certain times in your life things have happened that, at the time, you wondered "what just happened?", then you can feel certain that the only explanation is an angel intervened.

You know you have had moments. Only hubris could cloud a person from seeing angel support as their own doing.

Kieth has led an amazing life and his acknowledgment of angels early on in that life was a gift inadvertently to all who read this book.
Seeing is not believing. Believing is seeing.

Dog loving Groucho Marx, Esquire

Revisado: 10-24-16

David Rosenfelt's witty and engaging writing paired with perfectly delivered narration by Grover Gardner make for an entertaining reading/listening experience.
The characters and plot line are well developed and kept me engaged in the story throughout.
I began the series with Who Let The Dog Out. A good stand alone read but there are several references letting me know there was prior history so I started at the beginning. So much falls beautifully into place.

So far with three of the books read I would say the quality is consistently crafted.

If you love animals, charitable champions to the underdogs, and a witty sense of humor, you will enjoy this series.

Recording quality detracts at times

Revisado: 07-01-16

All good except the extra high treble of the recording was painful on the ears.

The content is very interesting and the narration itself is good. After making adjustments on my listening device equalizer I was able to finish the whole book but still had to occasionally adjust the volume. Pity.

I would recommend the book but maybe not in this recorded version.

Douglas Adams meets Forrest Gump and Big Labowski

Revisado: 12-11-15

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Would recommend highly if you are a fan of well written farce. Pithy humor and well written dialogue are reminiscent of Douglas Adams and P.G. Wodehouse.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Besides Alan, I think Beauty is my favorite. A self reliant, smart, rough talking dame that knows how to play a part of piety well when called upon.

Any additional comments?

An all around fun read. Noticed that it is now a movie available on Amazon Prime but wanted to read the book first. Now I can't wait to pop some corn and watch this story unfold on the big screen. Have to wait until the Husband has read the book, too. Don't want to spoil it for him.
