Enjoyable combination of Fantasy and Myths

Revisado: 05-26-12

What did you love best about The Lightning Thief?

The humor and the combination of the Greek Mythology and fantasy.

What other book might you compare The Lightning Thief to and why?

It reminded me a little of Harry Potter in the that Percy and Harry are a like in the way that they are both boys of a certain age and that his companions are one male and one female. They also seem to have leadership and heroism thrust upon on the but it suits them at the same time.

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

I have never listened to Jesse Bernstein before but I enjoyed his performance very much.

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

It made me laugh at times but I wouldn't that an extreme reaction.

Any additional comments?

It was a very enjoyable listen and I am looking forward to the next installment very much

Happily Ever After?

Revisado: 05-06-12

I have been listening to and reading a lot of books that are very similar to Evermore and though I did enjoy it I think that Alyson Noel probably made the story harder than it should have been. It also reminded me a little of Lauren Kate's Fallen Series though if I had to choose I would probably go Lauren over Alyson.

The Da Vinci Code with Shakespeare

Revisado: 04-17-12

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

I recommend this audiobook to anyone that enjoys a good thriller and adventure story

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

The plot keeps you on your seat for sure as you never know who it is that is after the main character, Kate. The people that help her along the way change regularly and though she trusts them half the time she shouldn't

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

I never heard a book by the narrator before and she did a good job on this one

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

Yes, it is and it was hard stopping it because I always wanted to know where Kate was going to and what mess she was getting herself into.

Any additional comments?

This is a very enjoyable listen and I hope that J.L Carrell's next is done in audio format as I have read that one and it was really good read so I would love to listen to it as well.

Surprising

Revisado: 10-05-11

I have watched the first season of True Blood and didn't really like it all that much, it was a little too explicit for my tastes but I decided to give the book a go. I was pleasantly surprised and found it very hard to stop listening to once I started.

Wonderful

Revisado: 10-05-11

I read the book before I bought the audiobook and though I enjoyed the book greatly I love the audiobook even more. I loved the different accents Jennifer Ikeda did for the characters and I hope that when Deborah Harkness finishes and release the next book that Jennifer Ikeda will do the next one as well.

Enjoy

Revisado: 09-23-11

I have read and listened to all of Cassandra Clare's books and though I liked Natalie Moore's readings I have to say that I have enjoyed this one the most mainly due to Ed Westwick. He adds a different dynamic to the story and his interpretation of Simon is wonderful. I think I also like Molly Quinn more than I liked Natalie's Moore or maybe she it was just her in tandom with Ed that makes this audiobook so easy to listen too and hard to press pause buttom.
