Review 1: In the Barren Ground audiobook by Lizzystick
Strong beginning, OK ending , rough middle
I almost gave up on this book ,The beginning was decent and set up the mystery fairly well but it takes time to get used to the narrator because for the first half of the book she makes every character sound pissed off. Im not a fan of romance and this had a little too much for me also the storyline in general just gets too neatly intertwined in ways that seem implausible . The best parts and most action of the story happens at just about the last 2 1/2 hours. However, the author spent the last 15 minutes trying to wrap everything up too neatly ad then it got irritating again. The setting for the story was interesting. I think there may have been a setup for a sequel or spinoff but I will not read or listen to it. The narrator improves toward the end of the book when she doesn’t make everyone sound so angry.
Review 2: In the Barren Ground audiobook by Texas Traveler
Can’t Stop Thinking About This Book
Any additional comments?
An amazing sense of place. So fully entrenched in Northern Canada. The characters, the weather, the land, the relationships, the backstories, the language, the plot. This is not a story put in the north, it is a story grown out of the north.
Perfect to listen to while I’m sweltering though my Texas summer walks. Even though I finished it 3 books ago, I keep thinking about it.
Review 3: In the Barren Ground audiobook by Trish R.
Horrible narration..
As of this writing there are 89 4 and 5 star reviews and I have no idea how that came to be. Raj (a man) and Selena (a woman) sound just exactly alike, and there’s no emotions, no nothing from Cara Gee. I can see this happening years ago when the narrator simply read the book, BUT this is 2016, time for narrators to know they have to sound like men and women both or they’re not really narrators. I can’t listen to this woman, it’s no wonder she has only 2 books to her credit and the other book only has 1 review and she gave the narrator 3 stars, she’s terrible. It doesn’t matter if this is a free listen and free read if you can’t stand the narration. If you want to listen to a great book by Loreth Anne White get The Slow Burn of Silence or In The Waning Light. You won’t be disappointed with the narration. I left 3 stars for Overall and Story because I know it was probably a good book and I wanted to be fair to the author. Sorry, Ms. White.
