This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
I can't answer this yet bc I'm going to read it on my own; I am only here to complain about the audible.
Would you be willing to try another book from Emily Evans? Why or why not?
So far I would be willing to but not with audible!
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Ziggy O'Keefe?
Almost anyone else. Maybe someone who can do voices? Or someone who understands when different people speak or what it sounds like to be from Texas?
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
I honestly could not concentrate on the book bc the audible was such poor quality. I plan to read it on my own. These questions keep asking about the book but they need to address the audio bc that's why I'm here; otherwise I would just write a regular review where most people do: under the book and not under audible.
Any additional comments?
All these comments have to do with the story. The story is fine; it is the audible itself that needs to change. The narrator had an Irish accent so it was very distracting for a character from Texas. The voices between characters were not thought out and other than the MCs, the others all sounded alike. There's SO much static in the background! In addition it feels like it is the reader's first time reading the book so she didn't know where to use emphasis or how to express the difference between thought and dialogue. I listened to the story on my way to work and I was very confused in several parts until I was able to pull over and actually at the story because there was no difference between paragraphs or when a character was just thinking compared to saying it out loud. Pauses were in very strange places as well. I had to stop at only 8%. It was only $1.99 but I want a refund. If I recorded myself using the computer it would sound better.
