DHANDHO INVESTOR CRITIC SERIES
but there's not much "Magic" in the series (and I'm on the last book in the series now), but I STILL got caught up in "The Characters" somehow!. almost like the author thought "How ALIVE can I make each character? Can I make them feel so real that people CARE about them as they would a real person?" THAT was DARING! Because when you buy a Fantasy Book with Magic (etc), You EXPECT "Magic, Etc". This book (The SERIES in fact) is MOSTLY based on "Characters". Now I've just quit saying I hate "Fantasy" because it seems every 4th book I listen to nowadays is Fantasy (I like to tell myself "that *I* haven't changed, It's just that better writers started writing fantasy". I HATED "Fantasy" until Sanderson got me hooked on it. Some people buy romance books, (Uhhh NOT "Me" on this one, but to each their own). Some People Love Hard Sci-Fi (ME! ME! ME! AGAIN! ). Some people like Hard Military Sci-Fi (ME! ME! ME! ). If you're wondering why this book gets high ratings in "Book Format", but not many "Reviews", in Book OR Audible Format, I think I can TRY to answer THAT question at least. yet.) but the narration/direction makes me suggest this book be read, not listened to.
(Especially considering the acclaim of my husband, who has made it through the series and LOVED it. I was more interested in the book when I wasn't actually listening.Overall I'd say the story has been very good. I kept thinking how interesting the content was, but weighing that against how bored I felt. Maybe some readers like it (like my husband, who didn't notice) because it's 'not distracting,' but I can't say I agree. Neil is much closer, in this book, to the latter than the former. Now imagine a type-to-talk program, a digital voice reading text.
DHANDHO INVESTOR CRITIC HOW TO
I'm not sure how to describe it in text, but imagine the tonal variations of someone speaking with an Irish accent. like a he's trying to read a history? Or a dictionary? I'm not sure what the directed or intended tone was, but the lack of modulation sounds bored to me. Neil needs to cultivate his stage whisper and fake yell.Tonal modulation: (not enough) Neil sounds bored. Most people I know use earbuds or headphones to listen to books, and what's comfortable at a talk is very jarring, if not painful, at a yell. Whispers that are difficult to hear are frustrating, and yells that are *actually* yelled are literally painful. The issues I had were:Volume modulation: (too much) Even in time of great passion/distress/terror in an audiobook, the actual volume level, for the comfort of the listener, should stay within a small spectrum. My husband 'never noticed' any issues and 'didn't mind' the things I found frustrating to the point of wanting to just go buy the paper books. I think the difficulties in narration might have more to do with direction than voice talent, though I haven't listened to other works by Neil, so I can't say. What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike? Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Couple torn over narrator, both loved story
