Simply Incredible

Revisado: 08-09-17

Would you listen to Buried Memories again? Why?

Maybe. It is an incredible book and I cannot give enough credit to the strength of Katie Beer, who opened up for this book to be possible. The only reason I say maybe is because it is hard to listen to someone treating a child like that.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Buried Memories?

Discovering that there were tapes of her screaming for help

What does Allyson Ryan and Eileen Stevens bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

They bring the story to life. With the different voices you get a very special insight to how each woman was feeling during the time in the book.

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

Yes. I cried. A couple times actually. Just from how this child was treated. I think it brings a lot to light about that side of our society that no one likes to talk about.

Any additional comments?

She deserves to be heard. So much courage for one girl. She deserves the upmost respect and I suggest this to anyone who comes across.

Just facts. No story.

What would have made Stolen in the Night better?

If it was a story and not just a listing of facts.

What do you think your next listen will be?

Anything else.

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

I have not. I did not think that the narrator was bad, just the story.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Stolen in the Night?

All of them and made it a story instead of a list of facts. It sounded far more like a high school report

Any additional comments?

I would not suggest. Although the truth of what happened to those children is incredibly sad and horrible, I do not think that this book did them any justice. It did not properly discuss the effects on the children. It Sounded more like a report than a book.

Cannot Speak Highly Enough!

Revisado: 08-09-17

What did you love best about The Fireman?

I love the whole story line. I love the uniqueness of the story and how drawn in I became. My new favorite book. I would suggest again and again!

What other book might you compare The Fireman to and why?

I'm not sure there are any to compare it to really. It is one of a kind

What about Kate Mulgrew’s performance did you like?

I love how drawing her voice was. It made me feel like I could hear all of the characters and really made it just that much better

Who was the most memorable character of The Fireman and why?

Nick. He was such a strong boy who had a hard start already. I love how he attaches himself to Harper. Their relationship be beautiful and I adore his entire being.

Any additional comments?

No comments that would properly fit how incredible of a book this was. I thought that, with how long it was, that I would be bored, but at no points in this story did I bore or become tired of listening. It was intriguing 100% of the time.

Joe Hill Does it Again!

Revisado: 08-09-17

Would you consider the audio edition of Heart-Shaped Box to be better than the print version?

I have never tried to read a paper copy, but I think that the narrator provides a great perspective.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Heart-Shaped Box?

When the reveal comes in Florida

Which scene was your favorite?

The scene while Jude was being attacked and released his dogs.

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

I would have, if it weren't for work

Any additional comments?

I was skeptical when I read the description but the reviews convinced me to purchase it. I am happy that I did! Well worth the listen or the read (however you prefer). The Narrator did very well in providing a looming and dark aspect to the book that I believe contributed to the wonderful story.

A Great Listen

Revisado: 08-09-17

Would you listen to NOS4A2 again? Why?

Yes. Kate Mulgrew's incredible narration alongside Joe Hill's amazing writing skills is just a match made in Heaven! This story draws you in.

What was one of the most memorable moments of NOS4A2?

The point of view from Bing. From someone who genuinely thinks that he is doing good.

What about Kate Mulgrew’s performance did you like?

Her variety of voices created vivid imagery as well as a drawing voice.

If you could rename NOS4A2, what would you call it?

Roads in the Mind

Any additional comments?

I had a bit of a difficult time in the beginning of the book really getting into it. The first couple of chapters. That being said, immediately after that it all comes together.
All the chapters present a unique perspective and detail to the story. An incredible horror book that is one of a kind and certainly going above and beyond expectations. I would highly recommend to anyone who likes a good horror book!
