I haven't listened to many audios, but I like the thought of doing a re-read as an audio! I'll keep this one in mind. .-= S. Krishna´s last blog ..Winter Garden – Kristin Hannah =-.

I won a copy of the audiobook and am waiting for it to come in the mail. I'm glad it's a good one, and I love the cast of voices, too. I'm reading and listening to Graceling right now, which is also a cast of voices. .-= The Kool-Aid Mom´s last blog ..FFI- GO COLTS!!! =-.

I love a good audiobook! A good narrator can bring so much to a book - I know that when I read Winterwood and The Book Thief, having a narrator that could handle the languages and accents really made a huge difference. I am looking forward to reading this one.

I just love when audio books have more than one narrator, particularly if they breathe life into their characters. Thanks for a great review. I’m looking forward to reading this book.

What a great way to do re-reads! There are so many books I’d like to read again but there are so many others that I have to get through on paper first. But I can listen when I can’t read so this will work wonderfully.

I bet this book is fantastic as an audio! I’ve never listened to a book that had more than one narrator, but have listened to a couple that really need more.

I do appreciate an audiobook that uses a cast. While I think one narrator can do a fabulous job, when listening to a cast it is a treat like you said.
I am glad that you were able to enjoy the story the second time around. Now to decide if I should read this book or listen to it on audiobook.

I’m so glad to hear this…thanks for the audio perspective! I just got the audio book from the library a couple of days ago, got it loaded yesterday and will start it as soon as I finish my current one (Sarah’s Key) which I am listening to for my book club. I find audios with a cast a phenomenal experience. Very few narrators can duplicate the feeling by themselves.
