Mandip narration!

Revisado: 01-30-25

I have the physical copy as well as the audio and I have to say the audio version is so worth it because Mandip narrates. The first five minutes is basically her talking about how gorgeous Yaz is, which I find amusing.

Excellent world-building

Revisado: 01-30-25

Years later, I still remember how much I loved the world-building in this book. I could visualize it so perfectly in my mind and it felt so richly-developed and interesting.

Worth It

Revisado: 04-10-21

A beautiful expansion upon the television episode. We get to be inside the Doctor’s head during her revelations about seeing the universe through the eyes of a woman. We get to hear more about Yaz and Izzy. We get a moment with Graham. Ryan and the king are a treat. We also learn Becca’s origin story. We learn about the Morax, who imprisoned them, why and how. We also learn about what happens to Willa. Sophie Alfred narrating was just the icing on the cake!

Addicted

Revisado: 08-08-19

I wish this book existed when I was in high school. It sucked me in more than any book since Harry Potter. The narration by Kristen Dimercurio was amazing. I felt myself gripping to every word. I need more of this story. The WORLD needs more of this affirming and magical tale of LGBT+ witches.

Voldemore and more

Revisado: 03-23-16

If you could sum up Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Book 1 in three words, what would they be?

Magic, love, friendship

What other book might you compare Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Book 1 to and why?

I cannot think of a singular book that can stand up to this novel.

Which character – as performed by Jim Dale – was your favorite?

As performed by Jim Dale, I suppose it would be Harry who always pronounced Voldemort with a nice audible "t" at the end, even though Jim Dale always said "Voldemore" for the rest, which can be annoying when you've been reading/saying/hearing Voldemort for 15 years.

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

I cringed when certain names and words were pronounced incorrectly/differently than I am used to. Hermione (understandably) and Voldemort being the most pronounced. Otherwise, I enjoyed his intonation and portrayal of the characters.

Any additional comments?

While the pronunciations are jarring and bring me out of the story, the story itself is absolutely fantastic and definitely worth a read (or 500).

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

One of the best.

Any additional comments?

I wish there were more female pirate novels like this-- perhaps one about Anne Bonny?

Wonderful!

Revisado: 03-18-13

Would you listen to Pandemonium again? Why?

Yes. The story was well crafted and the performance was the best of any audiobook i've heard.

What other book might you compare Pandemonium to and why?

Delirium, its predecessor, as the entire trilogy is well done.

Have you listened to any of Sarah Drew’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes, the previous two in this trilogy, which are also great.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Off the top of my head, "how far would you go to have the right to choose, even if you choose the wrong thing?"

Any additional comments?

I thought it was a wonderful performance and trilogy. Well done!
