Historia
Semi-autobiographical but mostly fantastical essay on growing up in the outdoors of California, and the importance of having family just as quirky and not-quirky as you are

What made the experience of listening to The Black Men and Steven Spielberg the most enjoyable?
The descriptions!!!! and the trips down memory lane that brought up memories of my own childhood...even sensory images!
Who was your favorite character and why?
The main character and her self-....introspection? Interesting what we see when we look back...
Which scene was your favorite?
The description of sliding down on the grassy hill...and the laughter with family.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
The adventure was real
Any additional comments?
Such descriptive writing...knowing ahead that this would be a series of vignettes and not a chronological biography may have helped, but such great descriptions that emoted a lot of my own memories. And the narrator's voice was spot on. Calming when needed, energetic and exciting when needed. Introspective. She seemed to capture the right emotions.

If you could sum up Muse: A Cat's Story in three words, what would they be?
Heartwarming, adventurous, colorful
What did you like best about this story?
The warmth and innocence of the main character juxtaposed against others...and the influence that sweetness had on others...
What about Robyn Hurst’s performance did you like?
This narrator has an easy-to-listen-to voice, and captured the very different characters well. I was also able to follow the descriptive language in my mind's eye like a movie!
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It definitely takes you places, no pun intended (since the story does take the characters on an adventure)...don't expect to come away without your heartstrings having been tugged...=-)
Any additional comments?
While this story does have a "happy ending", it is also very real. I appreciate that not everything is a perfect fairytale, but there can be value and goodness found in every adventure.

Historia
International best-selling author Andrew M. Greeley is hailed by the Los Angeles Times as "a fascinating novelist" with a rare, possibly unmatched point of view. In this baffling mystery, the unpopular and incompetent Bishop Gus Quill is assigned to the Archdiocese of Chicago despite loud protests. When he disappears while riding the L Train, it falls to Bishop Blackie Ryan to find him.
