Would you consider the audio edition of Anne of Green Gables to be better than the print version?

Not particularly, I enjoyed both. I tend to be a fast reader though and believe I am able to get more of the details in the audio version because it makes me listen word for word.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Mirella, especially how she grew as a person through her interaction with Anne.

Which character – as performed by Arika Escalona – was your favorite?

Anne, she was able to capture her wistfulness and imagination.

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

Whenever Matthew went out of his comfort zone and bought something for Anne that he thought would please her. She was able to touch him and draw him out in a way that no one else had ever been able to.

Any additional comments?

The author is a fantastic storyteller. The characters are so well drawn, you can imagine them being very real.

A joy to revisit.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Hobbit to be better than the print version?

Yes, in many ways. The narrator brought to life the characters with his accents and I believe I got many nuances that I didn't get when I read it the first time.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Beorn, a combination of fierceness and gentleness in one package. A good man (bear?) but also a cautious one.

Which scene was your favorite?

When Gandalf and the dwarfs first came to Bilbo's house and caused his little comfortable world to turn upside down

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

Not really. I enjoyed listening it to a while, then looking forward to hearing the rest of the story. I hated to see it end.

Any additional comments?

I originally read this in high school many moons ago. I thought I would revisit it because of the movie coming out to refresh my memory of the story. I really enjoyed the narrator's style and especially his singing of the dwarfish and elfish songs!

Would you listen to Minding Frankie again? Why?

Yes. The story is gripping and I love the accents.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Minding Frankie?

When Noel's parents realized they could honor their saint as they wanted to, but also expand that by giving a playground to the community.

Which scene was your favorite?

The dedication of the new playground.

If you could take any character from Minding Frankie out to dinner, who would it be and why?

Probably the cousin, she is a very interesting character and seems to have the answer to everything!

Any additional comments?

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It kept my attention from beginning to end. No snoozing off like I do with many audio books!
