Where does Loup-Garou: The Beast of Harmony Falls rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Top 5

What did you like best about this story?

Once the story got going, it was engrossing. I became attached to certain characters and truly felt the camaraderie between them.

What about S.W. Salzman’s performance did you like?

He did well with all the characters, giving them their own voices, accents and inflections.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I don't want to go into detail but it involves the Sheriff.

Any additional comments?

The book starts slow and I am not sure how I feel about the sound effects. This is the first audiobook I have heard with sound effects included. Some of the noises were distracting and the voice recordings had a slightly tinny echo to allow for background media.

Different

Revisado: 03-15-16

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

Yes. It is an interesting story and I do like Lazar's writing style and Druyor's narration style.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

I have always been interested in essential oils so their inclusion was interesting.

Which scene was your favorite?

It is obvious that the author researched the oils and native procedures that were included in the book. For someone, like me, who is already familiar with them it bordered on too much detail.

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

There were only a few places where her voice was too soft. She did a great job, overall.

Surprisingly Interesting

Where does Don't Let the Wind Catch You rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Top 10.

What other book might you compare Don't Let the Wind Catch You to and why?

I have nothing to compare it do. It is beautifully unique and not something I would have ever considered reading, on my own.

What does Erik Synnestvedt bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He does well with the accents and voice changes. He brings real character to the characters.

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

I laughed many times and became rather emotional at others.

Any additional comments?

My only problem with the narration is that sometimes the narrated portion would continue in the voice of the character who spoke last. I have noticed this with a lot of narrators and would prefer the narration to be different from the voices. Sometimes it makes it hard to tell where the speaking ends and the narration begins.

This was a fun tale. It took me a long time to begin reading because when I heard the character names I assumed this book would resemble the last one of Lazar's that I read. This one was much different and a welcome change.

Not Bad

Revisado: 02-28-16

Where does Stalk Me rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Top 10

Who was your favorite character and why?

Kush. He's hilarious and loads of fun.

What about Maren McGuire’s performance did you like?

Sometimes her voice was a little too high-pitched and tinny but most of the time it was easy to listen to. I liked her "manly" voice best.

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

I'm not sure.

Any additional comments?

This is not the type of book I would normally read. Keatyn was a little childish, in my opinion and it annoyed me how people kept calling her mature. I am a slightly interested in what happens to Keatyn next. I may have to invest in the second book, though I'm not sure I will remain interested for the entire series.

What made the experience of listening to Planet Urth the most enjoyable?

The narration was emotional without being annoying.

What other book might you compare Planet Urth to and why?

I don't have another to compare to. It's unique.

What does Emma Lysy bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She brought passion and emotion to the words. She kept me interested.

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

Welcome to Urth.

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed this book and am disappointed that the rest of the series isn't available through audible yet.

A Story All Its Own

Revisado: 02-17-16

Would you listen to XODUS again? Why?

Maybe. I don't know if I really want to listen to any book a second time.

What was one of the most memorable moments of XODUS?

I don't want to give anything away.

Which character – as performed by Natalie Hoyt – was your favorite?

I don't have a favorite. She did them all, male and female, very well.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Yes. I don't want to give anything away, though.

Any additional comments?

This was a very interesting storyline and there were twists that I actually wasn't expecting (which is saying a lot). The narration was good and easy to listen to. I found myself staying up to listen longer.

Where does Spirit Me Away rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Top 10

What was one of the most memorable moments of Spirit Me Away?

The baby.

What does Robert King Ross bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He brought the "vintage" to it. He spoke the lingo well and made himself sound convincingly high, when needed.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, but way too long for that.

Any additional comments?

This wasn't the best book about female trafficking, but it wasn't bad either. I like that it was set in the past. This setting allowed for a more unique storyline.

Quirky

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

I didn't read the print version but I thoroughly enjoyed the audio version.

What did you like best about this story?

It was a fun, easy to follow murder mystery. I didn't lose interest.

What about Will M Watt’s performance did you like?

The narration was wonderful. At first, I thought it was going to become annoying but I grew quite fond of the accent and distinctive character voices.

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

I'm not sure.

What did you love best about The Second Tree?

The uniqueness of the story. I've never read anything like it.

What other book might you compare The Second Tree to and why?

I have no other book I can compare it to. It is its own breed.

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

No I haven't. I really enjoyed his narration.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I don't want to give the ending away so I will just say that what Andrew has to do is awful.

Any additional comments?

I recommend this to anyone who wants to read something different from what they're used to.

It is definitely sci-fi but I've never read anything like it before. It's quite interesting and slightly disconcerting.

Jake and Tom

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

There were laughing moments and scary moments.
