![]() However, as a whole I felt like both narrators did an excellent job with their performance on the story and I wouldn’t hesitate to check out either one of them more in future.Ģ022 Audiobook Review: Reading over part of my original review, I still wholeheartedly agree this is one of my favorite series of all time even 2 years later and a lot of books read/listened to. But I honestly just felt that that was par for the course when you have so many different characters that need to be narrated. ![]() I say that with the caveat that while the female narrator did an amazing job with most of the voices, I did find that with her having so many to play I didn’t necessarily love each guy’s tone. This duet as well as the previous book in the sweetverse before this one featuring Lola‘s best friend Baby have me really interested in checking out more books by this author. And was extremely happy with how everything ended overall. I was really happy to see her get her moment. It made the ending even more satisfying especially as the big plot point that had been hanging over both books was finally resolved. ![]() And I loved how she grew and developed and came into her own in this book.

In thirty-nine of his signature long takes, engraved in ghostly black and white, Tarr conjures an apocalyptic vision of dreamlike dread and fathomless beauty. Adapted from a novel by the celebrated writer and frequent Tarr collaborator László Krasznahorkai, Werckmeister Harmonies unfolds in an unknown era in an unnamed village, where, one day, a mysterious circus-complete with an enormous stuffed whale and a shadowy, demagogue-like figure known as the Prince-arrives and appears to awaken a kind of madness in the citizens, which builds inexorably toward violence and destruction. One of the major achievements of twenty-first-century cinema thus far, Béla Tarr’s mesmeric parable of societal collapse is an enigma of transcendent visual, philosophical, and mystical resonance. Based on the 1989 novel The Melancholy of Resistance by Hungarian writer László Krasznahorkai, the film will be re-released in New York later this month with more cities to follow.
