Just Clever Enough to Keep You Interested

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

It kept my just entertained enough to be satisfied while I ran errands, so from that point of view it was a credit well spent. Not a favorite though.

Have you listened to any of Stevie Zimmerman’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Her performance was lovely, but this audio—like Metzger's others—had some production problems with skipping/repeating. Nothing too bothersome though.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Actually, a Lifetime Original Movie isn't a bad analogy for what this short story collection is. Moderately amusing fluff that does the job well enough if you're in the kind of mood, but is otherwise not particularly noteworthy.

Any additional comments?

The mildly frustrating thing about these stories is that I know Metzger is a better writer than she displays here. Indeed, the stories all had flashes of great wit and humor—it just wasn't sustained the way it ought to have been. For example, the idea of the dog Imp (in the third story) was brilliant, and I so wish it had been better fleshed out. Read 'A Loyal Companion' for a much better example of what the author's capable of.

As a side note, this is the first Metzger book I've run into that has anything resembling risque language or adult references. It doesn't bother me—and the references are quite mild by most standards—but it's sufficient that this is one audiobook I'd be careful about playing around my grandmother. Just a heads up for anyone else that's used to putting Metzger's books on in the car with conservative ears around.

Very good almost as I imagined it!!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would because it was a lovely hilarious book, I feel Barbara Metzger has the best Georgette Heyer feel and love all her books! While I love her longer books, I feel there is a place for the slightly shorter regency!

What did you like best about this story?

I like how she is scheming to get all her sisters married to the people they love and while she is doing it the grandest gentleman is falling in love with her.

What does Stevie Zimmerman bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

while I love Stevie! I think she needs a bit of early Phyllida Nash A la The Corinthian by Georgette Heyer, if she could listen to that audiobook before recording the next Barbara Metzger that would fab!

Any additional comments?

I would love to see all the Barbara Metzger books in audiobook form especially
1. An Affair of Interest
2. Saved by Scandal
3.The Primrose Path
4.A Suspicious Affair

Excellent romp from Metzger

Would you listen to Autumn Glory and Other Stories again? Why?

It is a great romp! Who wouldn't listen to it again? Also Barbara Metzger obviously loves dogs as they often appear in her books. This book is 3 short stories collection and two have dogs in them.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I like all of them really. She makes even badies sound human...

Have you listened to any of Stevie Zimmerman’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Nope, but I feel I should, therefore got another book by Ms. Metzger which she also narrates.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Fire in the hotel. I was on the edge of the seat because of the dog. Also felt sorry for the poor devil dog... (Everything has happy ending! Relax people)

Any additional comments?

I wish more of Metzger's books were available. I love to read her. Her books are short(er) and sweet.
