Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have really enjoyed three previous Soundwalk recordings; but this one, although having high production values, was poorly conceived and executed. The narrator has an irritating voice (which is a problem in an AUDIObook) and his script is much better suited to a yoga or meditation class than to a guided tour of Times Square--ex. "breathe with me, be one with me," etc. There are a lot of interesting sounds and brief interviews, but they're so poorly introduced that the overall effect winds up being more confusing than interesting. Finally, a significant portion of the tour is spent... at the Marriott Marquis Hotel. It's... a Marriott hotel, for goodness sake. I've stayed there twice, and while it was a pleasant hotel, I can say from personal experience that it doesn't merit having ANY part in a guided tour of a fascinating, world-famous neighborhood like Times Square, let alone a SUBSTANTIAL portion of the audio tour!

Each SoundWalk is 50 minutes of walking adventure through a neighborhood, guided by a local personality, packed full of interviews and cinematic sound effects. SoundWalks are living documentaries about the city, but instead of experiencing it through the remoteness of your TV, you will savor the city in its reality.
