So boring. Sooooo boring. I guess I enjoyed so much Tim Burton's deeply free-adapted film that this was truly a disappointment. Irving gets so lost into his descriptions that you end up forgetting there was a story at all, and every character is plain and so stereotypical that it made me cringe. I k...
A re-read (re-listen) for me in honour of the upcoming holiday and Halloween Book Bingo. I still think the writing is set at maximum verbosity, but since I was expecting it this time, I was able to enjoy the story a bit more and pick up on more of the wry humour. The narrator is excellent. Thi...
I loved the narration of this story. Tom Mison (the actor from the Sleepy Hollow television show) narrates this book and I could seriously listen to his voice all day long. Unfortunately, I didn't liked the actual story as much as I thought I would. I really wish the story was a bit darker and ...
I never had the occasion to read this story but picked it up on Audible a couple months ago. I liked it and am happy that I can now say that I've read (listened) to it.
I meant to listen to this at Halloween. That didn't work, so I decided to listen to it now as I wanted something short. Let me start by saying Tom Mison does a brilliant job with the narration. His voice is so smooth and gorgeous to listen to. But that proved to be a double edged sword. It was...
Already being familiar with the tale, there was nothing that was going to surprise me as far as the story goes. I was more interested in the quality of the writing and the author’s story telling ability. Unfortunately, although the writing is competent enough, the story is too long for its content. ...
I'm so glad I happened to be glancing around my audible app and saw this was being offered free. I scoped it up immediately and knew I'd have to choose this for my Halloween tale in Holiday Bingo. It's only an hour and fifteen minutes but it feels so much shorter. I don't know when you were first ...
So every year I re-read The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. I think all of us who went to school in America are pretty familiar with this story since I think it was required reading every Halloween. You read The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, The Raven, and The Tell Tale Heart. When I got older the teacher would...
This probably would have been rated two and a half to maybe three stars, but the excellent narration by Tom Mison bumps it up to a full four.I grew up watching (and loving) Disney's animated version of this story, but had never actual read the original text, despite--at one point--having owned it. (...
I'll be honest, the reason I ever downloaded this, my first audiobook, is entirely because of its narrator: Tom Mison. While I do not watch the Sleepy Hollow TV show, I found myself swooning for Mr. Mison after watching him in Salmon Fishing in the Yemen. Let me tell you that his narrative voice is ...
