Actually Surprised
Revisado: 10-02-14
Where does My Dead Boyfriend rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
For full books it ranks in the middle. But for less than 5 hours it's towards the front of the pack.
What was one of the most memorable moments of My Dead Boyfriend?
As soon as the fairies hit and I had no clue where the story was going to take me. So, I just sat back and let the story unfold for me, and I'm glad that I did.
What about Karen Krause’s performance did you like?
I enjoyed all the voices throughout except the boyfriends. His voice just didn't fit for me, but all the other characters were spot on.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The entire second half of the story was pretty awesome when it went into Irish legends. But when the boyfriend woke up, I'd say that hit me right in the feels.
Any additional comments?
I usually review the performance based upon how well the narrator's voice can switch between the speeds
0.5x Didn't necessarily enjoy this speed, It's almost normal except the spaces between the words are extremely noticeable.
1.25x Can'r tell the difference between this and 1x speed
1.5x Very easy to get used to sounds like a slight hurried speaker in a conversation.
2.0x Changes the voices a little. This is the speed I finished the book at where I became indifferent to the boyfriends voice.
3.0x Almost unlistenable for an enjoyable experience, the words blend way to often to understand while working.

Robin Mulcahey has always dreamed of being a big-time actress. As a college student, she took endless drama classes and finally snagged the lead of Maggie in Tennessee Williams's Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Now, six years later, she's one of the country's hottest soap-opera stars. She's just won a Daytime Emmy for her portrayal of South Riding's bad girl, and now when it seemed life couldn't get any more perfect, she's wed Declan Blair, an up-and-coming Irish film actor. So what's the problem? Robin Mulcahey is dead.

It's A Twist!
Revisado: 09-30-14
Would you consider the audio edition of Understudy to be better than the print version?
Absolutely Angie brings every character to life. My only complaint is that the two Irish gents blend together at a higher listening speed during the sexy time. The accents were a huge plus and besides the Irish blokes the voices were spot on and really drove the characters home for me.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Understudy?
Just when you think that you have it all figured out there is a twist and we jump down another layer of the rabbit hole.
Which character – as performed by Angie Hickman – was your favorite?
Paul, Angie makes him very empathetic to me (a male), I can put myself in his shoes even though the story is told from the opposite perspective.
If you could rename Understudy, what would you call it?
"Living in the Shadow" Once you read the book and see what she did and why she did it the title will make sense.
Any additional comments?
To properly judge the performance, I listen to each of the play speeds for a few minutes.
0.5x A tad comical like every performance at this speed, however Angie's voice doesn't make it unlistenable like other narrators.
1.0x Can't go wrong with a classic, I spend very little time listening at this speed, however I did start out at this speed to savor the first part of the book while I could
1.5x My bread and butter. Just a tick faster to eliminate the pauses associated with normal sentences. This for me is where the book shined, I got a quicker listen while at work but just long enough to savor the story and the voice.
2.0x This is still very manageable, Angie's voice can handle the speed very well and you will not miss a thing at this speed.
3.0x Some narrators will get washed out in a blur at this speed and on occasion will make me loose my place when I concentrate on something else, but Angie did not and the thirty minutes I read the book at this speed was still enjoyable.
If you can't tell I enjoyed her voice very much. She is defiantly in my top 5 narrators, this with the twists in the story helped me wait to finish a Dance with Dragons read by Roy Dotrice. So this is saying a lot especially on my first read through.
I will defiantly have to have my mother read the book as well as I'm sure she will enjoy as much as I have
