Excellent performance of a very fun book!

Would you listen to City of Ghosts again? Why?

I would totally listen to this again! Will M Watt did a phenomenal job reading this story. His ability to switch between accents, attitudes, and pitches as he narrates each of the diverse cast of characters is delightful! I felt drawn into the story by Will's narration style, the little hints of attitude and humor (where appropriate) in his tone of voice, and the pictures painted by Shawn's words. I thought it was particularly brilliant that the narrator's natural accent was distinct from the accents of the characters - it made it so clear when someone was talking/thinking vs. basic narration. I enjoyed the entire listen!

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

Even though I had read the book prior to listening to the audio book, I still found myself fully engaged as I listened. In fact, I am inclined to say that I enjoyed the experience of listening to the book even more than I enjoyed reading it to myself! (and I already reviewed the book highly on its own merits on Amazon!) I enjoyed the plot (apart from the listening experience) as it had adventure, a few twists I didn't expect, and even some fun flirtation. Jake and Tess are delightful characters, and I can't wait to read more about their adventures!

Which scene was your favorite?

I know it's a cop-out to say "it's hard to choose".... but...well.... :-) It is! Since for me, this was an adventure particularly for the audio portion (having read the book to myself previously), I especially enjoyed scenes with the three roommates as I got to hear the accent bounce back and forth among the different nationalities.

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

Yes! Unfortunately, the demands of life (a.k.a. kids and work!) required me to listen in installments. I very much enjoyed both the story and the reader.

Any additional comments?

In a spirit of full disclosure, I received a copy of this audio book free in exchange for an honest review. After this experience, I am inclined to purchase the next in the series for myself if Shawn has Will narrate Tower of Fools (book 2 in the series)!
