I Loved the Book and despised the performance

Would you try another book from Lori Wick and/or Virginia Leishman?

I love this series! I love Lori Wick! I have never read a book of hers that I haven't liked. However, the performance by Virginia Leishman left a lot to be desired. Now don't get me wrong, her style of reading was good for the most part, and the various voices that she used for the different characters was also good, it was the noises that she kept making with her mouth while she was reading that drove me insane. Every time she made one of those noise I wanted to cringe. At one point during this book, it got so bad that I almost gave up on the entire series when I realized she read all the books. The noises that she made almost sounded like chewing or like she was swishing the spit in her mouth around. It was just gross and I believe I will stick to reading these on Kindle from now on.

How could the performance have been better?

Virginia Leishman could have read the story exactly the way she did with out all of the gross noises that she made with our mouth and I would've given her four stars. Those noises were just horrid!

Was The Rescue worth the listening time?

No, but not because of the story. I say this because of the cringe worthy noises that the narrator made every time she paused and sometimes even before that. It was like she was swishing spit around inside of her mouth or something.

The story was so contrived and nonsensical

I really had to suspend disbelief for this one. And at times it just didn’t make any sense! Like why would you allow your father who doesn’t have his full faculties and has proven to be violent, carry a weapon or leave him in attended for days?? You cannot sympathize with the MF because you just feel she is stupid and borderline malicious for allowing a whole town to play along and feed into his delusion. I love the narrator and downloaded the book just for her.

Lovely story

I was initially put off by the description but am so glad I finally took the plunge and listened to this book. The narrator did a lovely job and it was fun to hear characters from the first book return.
