Cool Auntie J

Did not want to put it down!

Revisado: 07-20-18

Very good character building, felt like this story was about my neighbors and friends. I really cared what happened and when I wasn’t reading, I kept thinking about the story!

I have been disappointed with some other of Ms. Roberts books, but no disappointment here! Fabulous writing! Just read it, you’ll see.

Resist - Resist - Resist

Revisado: 06-01-15

What disappointed you about Resisting Ruby Rose?

This book falls into that unfortunate category of not living up to the potential of the original. This book was full of a whiny teenager and all her self-tormenting angst and it got very tedious, very quickly.

Has Resisting Ruby Rose turned you off from other books in this genre?

Not this genre, just this series.

What didn’t you like about Kimberly Harsch’s performance?

When I read the first book, I imagined Ruby to be a tough, go-getter type with a confident attitude. I did not expect this performance to be one of a bratty Valley Girl.

What character would you cut from Resisting Ruby Rose?

All of them. I'd scrap it and start over.

Twisty-Turny Story with a wild-end curve!

Revisado: 10-30-12

Would you consider the audio edition of 14 to be better than the print version?

I did not read the book, only listened.

What other book might you compare 14 to and why?

I've never read a book like this. I might compare it to Dr. Who, The Twilight Zone or The Time Machine (which I did read). But this book is unique.

Which character – as performed by Ray Porter – was your favorite?

I liked 3 characters the best, Veek, Nate and the old "publisher".

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

Some parts of it I could not stop listening to, I had to continue the story, but some parts I needed to think about.

Any additional comments?

Really good story! I highly recommend itl.

I had the Blues after reading

Revisado: 08-02-12

What did you like best about Succubus Blues? What did you like least?

The story was okay, but really tired of the main characters whining about how great she is and what a burden that greatness is

Love, love, love Richelle Mead

Revisado: 08-02-12

Where does The Golden Lily rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It ranks in the top five. I love Richelle Mead's original series where Sidney was introduced, so this was a natural follow up. I think the story is better in these books, though. Or at least I like Sidney better than Rose, I think.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Golden Lily?

Can't tell you, it would spoil the fun.

What about Emily Shaffer’s performance did you like?

Love how she was able to transition from all the different accents, and characters so smoothly. She really did a great job. And I love how she was able to give voice to Sidney's exasperation!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Alchemical Lily turns Desert Gold.....I don't know, not very good at this

What would have made Frost Moon better?

a new author and a new story, way too much "baggage" in this book for me

What was most disappointing about Anthony Francis’s story?

everything was disappointing. I think she could have done a better job fleshing out her main character instead of tying her up in dog collar regalia

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Traci Odom?

have no idea, don't know very many narrators yet

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Frost Moon?

the whole book and started over

It would be "criminal" to miss this one!

Revisado: 08-02-12

What did you love best about Criminal?

I loved finally learning Will's back story.

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

The plot was exciting, but not edge of seat, thrilling.

What about Kathleen Early’s performance did you like?

I liked how she voiced Will's character, I was not sure how it would sound since the main character was male, but she did a good job.

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

Yes, but I can't tell, it will give away too much.

"Witness" this extraordinary novel, amazing read!

Revisado: 08-02-12

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

Yes! Yes! Yes! This is, by far, the best Nora Roberts book I have ever read. The story is absolutely riveting. It is timely and a great coming of age story, no matter how old you are....

What did you like best about this story?

I loved the main character. I loved how she is portrayed, I loved how the narrator interpreted the nuances of her feelings and words, and her story gave new meaning to what it means to have a stable home life.

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

Have not heard any others, but will definitely find more!

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

Yes, could not put this down. I even brought my headphones to bed to listen while I fell asleep!

Any additional comments?

Honestly, this is just one of the best, most enjoyable books I have listened to, or read in a long time. Great story, great characters, and a great personal lesson. Always be yourself!
