Better read than listened to.

Would you try another book from Jim McDoniel and/or Drew Campbell?

Author yes, narrator - no.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Simon. I think the character was underdeveloped though, and in general the backstories of the main characters were revealed a bit late in the book to put their actions in context.

Would you be willing to try another one of Drew Campbell’s performances?

Not inclined to. His timing was very odd, inserting pauses where they made no sense and throwing the cadence of the text off.

Could you see An Unattractive Vampire being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Yes - and no idea!

Any additional comments?

I liked the story a lot, but it felt a bit rushed in places and the pacing was a bit uneven.

Met expectations

Revisado: 12-05-12

Where does Native Tongue rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Compared to other audio books this was good - not great. The pacing felt a bit slow - although the narration suited the pace of the story so I can't blame the reader.

Any additional comments?

It was well read, and as it progressed the story became more engaging. Towards the end I laughed out loud at a few points. Overall, I'd recommend the book and urge patience as you wait for the story to kick into gear. The narrator did a great job.

It Grew On Me

Where does Halfway to the Grave rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I enjoyed this - its a light supernatural caper type story that moves at a good pace and grips your interest. The narration grew on me. At first the cockney accent given the character Bones grated, but by the end of the book I had come to appreciate the narrator's skill in differentiating characters and her consistency.

So Much Fun

Revisado: 05-03-12

Who was your favorite character and why?

How can you have a favourite character in a book chock full of such colourful personalities?

Which character – as performed by the narrators – was your favorite?

Stacey and Stephen were both hilarious, and Ronald was also pretty droll.

Any additional comments?

If you are a fan of CBC's Wiretap, you will adjust quickly to the narrator's style, otherwise - give it a few chapters and he will grow on you! Funny book, great pacing and wonderful narrators. You are in for a great listen with this story.
