Stunning

Revisado: 05-02-22

Extremely daring! Just when I start to feel old I come across a fresh young voice. Sparse and beautifully vivid. Sophie Amoss narrating makes you feel you’re there. She’s fabulous as always. It took me more than one listen to fully grasp it but I loved re listening!
Favorite quote
At times you want to ask for forgiveness. But you don’t know forgiveness for what. And you don’t know who you’re asking it from. But at times you felt you’ve done something wrong. And you need to be absolved.

Scarfed this title in two 5 h plus sessions!

Revisado: 12-20-21

My first Julia Heaberlin title and I’m excited to find her work.
seriously considered a second listen starting immediately but I’m going to let it marinate a while. Narration by total pros. Recently I listened again to a John Irving title M. Andrews narrates and would never guess he was the voice of Wyatt. New Hampshire to Texas he is FABULOUS.
More than a very smart psychological thriller. A meditation on the continual outward ripples caused by human violence. This beautiful voice examines how easily a trauma creates another trauma and another. People at risk remain at risk.
Excited to choose another title by Ms. Heaberlin

Blatty narrating is the cherry on top on top edition

Revisado: 12-01-20

I’ve read the Exorcist several times over the years. In narrating his work William Peter Blatty was stunning in his performances of the title’s characters,; Detective Kinderman and Father Karras especially.
This prose containing such beauty right alongside such ugliness is unlike anything I’ve ever read. Then or now.

Twisted, funny, and poignant

Revisado: 07-25-20

Finding myself drawn to transgressive fiction since Fight Club. Chuck Palahniuk
I’ll definitely need another listen or two to glean more of Bunny. I was laughing then five minutes later crying.. Ultimately it’s a truly insightful look at several topics which are Hard! Authenticity or as close as some are able to get as twenty somethings in 2020 love and loneliness, to be sure
Sending Ms Mona vibes and good energy which whisper more like this pretty pretty please.

Absolutely a modern day fairy tale.

Revisado: 07-16-20

The prose was lyrical and harmonious. The characters are complex and well developed. I adore that this title truly expressed loneliness, and somehow made it poetry. It showed us acceptance and connectedness in such unlikely places.
Each of the characters has a special place in my heart. Strickland is one of the most interesting male characters I have read. I found myself alternately sympathetic toward then disgusted by him as he decompensated.

Favorite quote
Giles But I cant be alone can I? Of course not. I’m not that special. Anomalies like me exist all around the world. So when does an anomaly quit being an anomaly and start being the way things happen to be?

Didn’t see the film so the end was a great twist!

Revisado: 02-25-20

Great wrap up to the story. The last games were interesting as was Peeta’s transformation. Some of the District Thirteen stuff and the slog through the capital got a bit tiresome.
Never saw the ending coming.

Great Audible Interview. Such a lovely man!

Revisado: 02-14-20

Armistead Maupin despite enormous critical, success proves in the interview to be entirely down to earth, almost bashful at times. I wondered the first time listening to The Night Listener how biographical the sweet, sensitive and humorous Gabriel was. Quite a bit it seems. A must for any fan!

Really Enjoyed the narrator

Revisado: 02-06-20

I enjoyed this a lot reading this novel years ago. Im finding it a bit irritating this read this time. I remembered the Vietnam jargon and just attributed it to a need in the characte's identity. Richard is a childish daydreamer who as far as I can determine has never had a job. My issue is the frequent use of sixties slang terms that twenty somethings in the 90s did not use. hassle drag dope and scene were a few. I was waiting for the travelers to call law enforcement pigs but I guess Garland thought that would be over the top. The other problem which only served to call more attention to it is the two American travelers do a Keanu Reeves surfer dude act. That was a bit clever blonde young American men on a beach who purposely sound like so totally brain fried dude are actually students from Harvard studying literature. But the total combination of dead slang and in depth writing about old video games over shadows what could have been great IMHO.
