One of my favorite books of all time
Revisado: 04-21-15
Hummingbird's Daughter just very well be my favorite novel of all time. I have read it several times, and never tire of the story. To hear it read by the author made it even better. All the humor and intention behind his work comes right through, and I found myself laughing out loud several times.
Bravo on such an accomplished and beautiful story. I can't praise it enough!

Magical Storytelling
Revisado: 04-21-15
Listening to Islands in the Mist was my first experience with an audio book.
What came to mind as I listened to Mr. Keating was the fact that long before people were writing stories, they were telling them--around the fire, in pubs, in royal courts, and on voyages and journeys to pass the time. The clan bard was something of a demi-god.
There is something magical about listening to someone tell you a story. A talented storyteller pulls you into it, and makes you feel as if you're right there with the characters. That is what Mr. Keating has done with Islands in the Mist. Listening to him bring my story to life was nothing short of magical. Thank you, John!
