Would you consider the audio edition of Room to be better than the print version?

The voice of the boy is to be congratulated. Very well done.

What did you like best about this story?

Not a 'likeable' story, but the honesty and innocent view of the world from a child's eye is endearing and hopeful.

Which character – as performed by the narrators – was your favorite?

Jack

If you could rename Room, what would you call it?

freedom

Any additional comments?

So glad I read this as a book-club book, needs a 'de-briefing' session. Surprisingly all 12 members read it, with initial apprehension, and all had positive appreciation for a confronting story.

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

yes, interesting world, and fascinating historical facts that intrigued Sarah Dunant to write novel. Really like Shakespearean themed novels.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Suora Zuana, finds a life within the walls of the convent that would not have been available to a woman of her times, and has an intelligence and soul that is inspiring.

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

no. Happy to in the future though.

If you could take any character from Sacred Hearts out to dinner, who would it be and why?

Suora Zuana, imagine the remedies she might share with me

Any additional comments?

worth the read/listen. thanks

Main character was distant and cold. Felt like I was just watching a story roll by, not a lot of reader interaction.

Would you ever listen to anything by Nicholas Evans again?

read a few books already. Good mid-day movie fodder.

How could the performance have been better?

too contemplative as far as story content

What character would you cut from The Brave?

??Gina, there were a few too many characters and happenings to follow.

Would you listen to The Titan's Curse: Percy Jackson, Book 3 again? Why?

Yes, read the books first, then downloaded them to listen to while traveling. Even had my husband listening to them.

What did you like best about this story?

Perfect mixture of Greek history, wit, feelings of growing up...very clever and adventurous

What about Jesse Bernstein’s performance did you like?

expressive

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

They did make a film, and changed way too much of the plot. Still trying to work out why. Should have used the producers of 'Harry Potter'. The story is brilliant as is!

Poor Canada

Would you try another book from Richard Ford and/or Peter Marinker?

No

What could Richard Ford have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Characters were unlikable. Too structured, and frustratingly repetitive.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Canada?

at least half the book. Not enough scenes about the scenery...very desolate descriptions...bit like the characters, but way overdone.

Any additional comments?

worst book Ive read in a while. - most of the bookclub members agreed too.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Good to listen to whilst long distant driving...Read this book as a 12 - 13 year old, like most people... re-hearing it, made me realise how TV graphics have changed the idea of 'terror'.

If you’ve listened to books by John Wyndham before, how does this one compare?

Good author

What three words best describe Samuel West’s performance?

Very proper pronunciation!

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

couldn't quite get through the movie, better as a book.
