Startling, unusual, and yet irresistably readable, Among Others is at once the compelling story of a young woman struggling to escape a troubled childhood, a brilliant diary of first encounters with the great novels of modern fantasy and SF, and a spellbinding tale of escape from ancient enchantment.

Interesting Story, Unlistenable Performance
Revisado: 10-18-19
At the end of the 2nd CD, I decided not to listen any more. The story was intriguing--a young girl is sent off to boarding school after an unknown calamity. The narrator's performance was so sing song and so persistently "perky" I got a headache, and couldn't follow the author's intent at all. There was a complete lack of emotional expression. I hated it. I plan to get the book so I can read the story instead.

Fifteen-year-old Tess doesn't mean to become mute. At first, she's just too shocked to speak. And who wouldn't be? Discovering your whole life has been a lie because your dad isn't your real father is a pretty big deal. Terrified of the truth, Tess retreats into silence. Reeling from her family's betrayal, Tess sets out to discover the identity of her real father. He could be anyone - even the familiar-looking teacher at her school. Tess continues to investigate, uncovering a secret that could ruin multiple lives.

Not just another Young Adult book
Revisado: 08-07-16
Would you listen to Silence Is Goldfish again? Why?
Yes I would. The story is gripping and nuanced. You really start to care about the main character as she struggles with loss of trust. The narrator really captures so many shades of emotion--it is really the dialog that makes this story, and the narrator is very deft.
What did you like best about this story?
The dialog. The articulateness of Tess.
Which character – as performed by Jayne Entwistle – was your favorite?
Tess, of course, but she does really well with step-dad Jack, and makes my skin crawl with Anna, the school beauty/bully.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
When not talking says the most.
Any additional comments?
Marvellous, really glad to read/listen.
