"Hamilton's vocal special
effects are excellent. Her voice changes for different characters
bring them to life. Her 'special sounds' (animals, groans, screeches,
etc.) are spooky and fun."

"In Mary Hamilton's Susan
Contemplates Murder, a scorned mistress starts out thinking
about murder but in the end deflates her lover's ego with a far
more clever and liberating, but just as final, act." "However you use it [Sailing
the Flying Ship], you cannot help but appreciate a beautifully
crafted storytelling piece that is sure to make you think. Perhaps
you'll think about the power of inner voices, the importance of
focus, true listening, and taking time on the way through life.
Each person will no doubt take from the tape what he/she needs and
have a good time doing it."
