Nine-year-old Ada has never left her one-room apartment. Her mother is too humiliated by Ada's twisted foot to let her outside. So when her little brother Jamie is shipped out of London to escape the war, Ada doesn't waste a minute - she sneaks out to join him. So begins a new adventure of Ada, and for Susan Smith, the woman who is forced to take the two kids in. As Ada teaches herself to ride a pony, learns to read, and watches for German spies, she begins to trust Susan.

Alternately heartbreaking and heartwarming...

With a great voice Ms. Entwine brings to life the thoughts, feelings, and words of dear, damaged Ada. You will love her story, cry with her in her moments of terror and pain, and ultimately share in her "joy".

F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic American novel of the Roaring Twenties is beloved by generations of readers and stands as his crowning work. This new audio edition, authorized by the Fitzgerald estate, is narrated by Oscar-nominated actor Jake Gyllenhaal (Brokeback Mountain). Gyllenhaal's performance is a faithful delivery in the voice of Nick Carraway, the Midwesterner turned New York bond salesman, who rents a small house next door to the mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby....

Disappointed with Gyllenhaal's performance.

Lack lustre for such an accomplished actor. His emphasis was often off in my view.

'There's an empty notebook lying on the table in the moonlight. It's been there for an age. I keep on saying that I'll write a journal. So I'll start right here, right now. I open the book and write the very first words: My name is Mina and I love the night. Then what shall I write? I can't just write that this happened then this happened then this happened to boring infinitum. I'll let my journal grow just like the mind does, just like a tree or a beast does, just like life does. Why should a book tell a tale in a dull straight line?'

Would you listen to My Name Is Mina again? Why?
Yes!
Sanderson's voice is superb as MINA. When I picked up a hardcopy of the the book I found I couldn't read it without hearing her voice in my head. Her voice made funny lines funnier and touching lines more touching...
What other book might you compare My Name Is Mina to and why?
Skellig - same author and characters
Okay for Now - Gary D. Schmidt - which is also about a boy struggling to find out who he is.
Which scene was your favorite?
The poem about school!
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Both - laugh and cry...and cry laughing...
Any additional comments?
Too many wonderful bits to count.
She's a delightful character...delightfully portrayed. I didn't want the story to end.
