really loved this. i loved the story, the writing, and the surprising depth. and i really loved hearing gillian anderson read the book to me. she reads in a subdued, understated way, but i found her entirely captivating. never sure what readers do with accents, though. this is a problem that definitely needs to be tackled.

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

attica locke is fantastic. she does noir and hart-bitten perfectly, thus turning on its head a genre that is generally reserved for white males. in the meantime, she tackles intraracial tensions (mostly related to class), the demise of civil rights in america, the demise of voting rights, and the general erosion of american democracy. all in a serious page turner. loved this book.

If you could sum up Big Little Lies in three words, what would they be?

a perfectly composed story of women's secrets, the slow process of their unveiling, the meanness and kindness that accompanies it, and the small triumphs that happen when people pay attention to each other. PERFECTLY read by carline lee. loved every word.

Where does I'll Be Right There rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is not an easy book to listen to. There's a lot of pain. But the construction of the novel, with various disclosures coming at various times; the amazing language; and the depth of feeling, the scope of the life vision, the tenderness... stunning. All this beauty easily makes up for the tough bits. It will be forever with me.

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

this is book is absolutely fantastic. if you are faint of heart you may consider giving it a miss, otherwise, don't miss it. it should win all the prizes given to books everywhere. the readers are perfect, although the reader that does perina has a couple of glaring mispronunciations. no worries, though, really, he's perfect.

Any additional comments?

Anna Karenina is just a masterpiece and there is no need for me to add more. But THIS NARRATOR. I wish she had recorded War and Peace, and all of Tolstoy, because she was 50% of this audiobook for me. True, sometimes she speaks too quietly and one misses a sentence or two, but her rendering of the *people* -- their personalities -- through their voices is superlative. Major props for Kitty. They are all fantastic, but Kitty's voice has a levity, a joyfulness, which is just a delight. So well done. Thank you.
