What made the experience of listening to Cattle the most enjoyable?
The Narrator's performance
Who was your favorite character and why?
Herold, he was sort of the glue that held the narrative together.
Which character – as performed by Ian M. Walker – was your favorite?
Spoiler Alert: I liked the way the narrator handled the dead friend Harold. The character went through several iterations (live, imaginary, zombie) and Mr. Walker managed to make them all work and yet not conflict with each other. His use of voice allowed one to get a since of each representation without interrupting the flow of the story or conflicting with other versions of the character.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The ending
Any additional comments?
I finished listening to Cattle today and I have to say it was definitely the narrator's performance that made it for me. I was intrigued by the way he managed to give each of the character's voices distinct enough to identify yet unobtrusive enough that they did not interrupt the flow of the narrative. I also appreciated the way he handled some of the more delicate subject matter. Well worth a listen.
