A challenge for those who like linear structure

Revisado: 05-24-13

I found this to be a challenging story to follow. I enjoyed the narration immensely but needed to relax into the non linear structure. The one thing I can recommend when listening to this is just to go with it. Don't try to figure out what is real, what is truth or what is fact; just follow IMP on her journey.

What made the experience of listening to Wicked the most enjoyable?

I really enjoyed the narrator. He did a brilliant job.

What did you like best about this story?

I adored the character of Elphaba. What an incredibly passionate, committed and strong woman and what heartbreak comes from ignorance.

Which character – as performed by John McDonough – was your favorite?

John did a brilliant job narrating the Nanny character. So few narrators get the voice right for the opposite gender.

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

I was moved by the scene when Elphaba is being oiled by her lover. So intimate and touching as we have always seen her as evil and ugly but he sees her as exotic and wonderful.

Any additional comments?

I really struggled to read the hard copy of this book so found that the audio version gave me access to a story I really wanted to hear but would have otherwise missed out on. Perfect for audio format.

If you could sum up Is It Just Me? in three words, what would they be?

Funny, delightful, clever

Who was your favorite character and why?

Miranda - present day
Who doesn't find teenagers a little trying??? (sorry teens)

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

I loved listening to Miranda do her own narration but it was a little hard to listen to her doing the voice of little Miranda especially listening with ear bud headphones

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I certainly had a number of laugh out loud moments and cringed at times when the stories came a little too close to home

Any additional comments?

I just adore Miranda

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

I would definitely recommend this book ... in fact I already have. It is sassy and takes the dramatic vampire story and lightens it up with the great attitude

Who was your favorite character and why?

Betsy of course

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

I love hearing the intonations and attitude that Nancy brings. My only complaint is her male character voices ... not so good but I tried not to let it bother me too much.

If you could rename Undead and Unwed, what would you call it?

Undead in Style???

Any additional comments?

Searching for the audio version of book 2 now
