While I love the Bloody Jack series and adore Jacky and her wild adventures, I couldn't help feeling frustrated with the direction this one went with. I find Jacky's character refreshing from the pristine, virginal heroines who never contribute to anything constructive. I like how Meyer makes Jacky identifiable and her character like a real girl. I don't even mind Jacky's use of her sexuality and various love interests.What I found to be the biggest wallbanger moment was when she was having yet2018 reread: Ah, Jacky. *melancholy sigh* This is a particularly delightful adventure, but it ends on such a sad note. This is for sure one of my favorites in this series, and Katherine Kellgren's narration of all the French accents has me pronouncing "croissant" as an emphatic "kwah-sawn!" for days. 2016 Reading Challenge: A fiction and a non-fiction book about the same subject (will be reading "Liar, Temptress, Spy" which is about real-life women who were spies and/or disguised themselves as
Kaherine Kellgren has officially ruined audiobooks for me. She is absolutely amazing at it. The books come to life in my head as she reads it with many different accents for all the characters. She has such enthusiasm and even sings all the old sailor songs. I swear she's amazing. When this series is over I shall be quite sad to go back to the regular books with singular characters and narrators without enough ummph.L.A. Meyer has found a gem of a series with his adventures of Jacky Faber and I
Again this installment was pretty amazing, made more so by the superior reading of the audiobook narrator. This is the first one of the Jacky Faber books that I listened to instead of read and I wasn't sure I would like it. At first, the cockney accent of the reader got on my nerves, but I trudged through and became thoroughly convinced that this is THE way to experience these books. The acting was superb as was the writing. I was sorry to recently read of the death of the author, L. A. Meyer,
I have listened to all of these books on Audio. The reader Katherine Kelgrin is superb, bringing the stories to life amazingly! One of the things I love about the character Jacky Faber is that no matter what happens, she presses on with wit and ingenuity. A lesson about doing what you can with what you have and not whining about what you don't. BRAVO! Made me laugh and cry.....well done Mr. Meyer, RIP.
Still enjoying this series. It is a lot of fun.
Ive been listening to the Bloody Jack series because the narrator does such a wonderful job. This book, however, didnt really click. I zoned out for chapters, it seems. Reasons/reflections:A few things that have begun to bother me:1) Im really not all that convinced with Jackies love for Jamie. Like, why is she promising herself to someone she fell in love with at the age of, what, 9? There are plenty of attractive men who cross her path, and I really think its unrealistic that shea woman of the
