Dare I say I liked book way more then the first? Book two was packed with character development and new setting ! I Thoroughly enjoyed how the story unfolded while still managing not to loss sight of our heroine main journey . Who went though a lot of growth. I honestly can’t wait to read book 3 !

A unique YA series

Revisado: 09-30-21 El oyente recibió este título gratis

I loved this book ! And can’t wait to read on in the series! while I knew from the synopsis that I might enjoy Series since it seem like it would slot in perfectly with my interests. I was honestly blown away ! I loved the world building and characters.

The characters were unique and multifaceted . Which leaves you wanting to know more . While picturesque language allows you to become full immersed in the story. Honestly I can’t wait to see where book two takes me.

RBP is gone but Spenser & Co. lives on.

Revisado: 06-05-12

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

Robert B. Parker will be missed, but Ace Atkins does a creditable job of continuing to breath live into his characters. Some of their dialog is cliched, almost as if it was extracted from previous stories, but they do ring true. Prior to hearing the story, I was concerned that this might not be the case, Now, I feel good that the Parker estate chose wisely in their selection of Atkins and believe that the characters will continue to evolve, as he becomes more comfortable with them. Atkins provides us with a glimpse into Hawk's background that was never shared with us before, which brings up the question as to whether it's an attempt on his part to make a personal contribution to the Spenser storyline, or if he's treating us to a bit of background that Parker had previously held back. Joe Mantegna turns in his usual excellent performance, which goes a long way toward helping us accept Spenser's new chronicler. All in all, a recommended listen.

What does Joe Mantegna bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Joe Mantegna brings Spenser and his associates to life. He has a great feel for the character and his relationships that has grown out of not only his previous readings of Spenser novels, but also his portrayal of Spenser in made for TV movies. His voices, inflection, and timing are dead on as he delivers our favorite private eye's one liners.

More fun with old fiends (the blood sucking kind)

Revisado: 04-09-12

What did you love best about Bite Me?

Books by Christopher Moore are always entertaining and this one was no exception. It was great to hear what happens to our friends/fiends after You Suck ended.

What other book might you compare Bite Me to and why?

One can't help comparing this story to the other books in the series: Bloodsucking fiends and You Suck, or with Dirty Job, which takes place at the same time as You Suck and Bite Me. Moore's humor is top-notch, though I liked the other three a little bit more.

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

As with Bloodsucking Fiends and You Suck, Susan Bennett's performance on Bite Me was brilliant. She really brings the characters (even the dead ones) to life and her comedic timing is perfectly matched to Moore's

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

While I'd have loved to listen to this book all at one setting, that wasn't possible. That said, I admit that on more than one occasion, I sat in my car listening to it for 5 or 10 minutes after arriving at my destination - just to hear what happens next.

Any additional comments?

A must-hear selection from one of the funniest writers on the planet.
