Prepare yourself for the ultimate multicast performance. We've gathered many of Audible's most popular narrators to bring to life some of the most extraordinary words ever written. 19 words, in fact, carefully selected and arranged alphabetically as in their original source: the 11th edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica. We created this enlightening journey from AUDIENCE to LITERATURE because you asked for it.

When I downloaded this and listened for the first time, I thought it was funny! I love how the readers give their all for the entry they are performing. I've listened to this book possibly hundreds of times, however, because it's the perfect sleep aid. I slow the speed down to 0.85, and they smooth talk me into slumber. They have such beautiful voices, and do a great job with the presentation! And the content is so dry after the upteenth time through that I don't feel compelled to follow closely (as opposed to the current book I'm working on, where I don't want to miss a thing), so I'm free to drift off. It breaks all my in-head conversations enough for me to sleep, and for that I am grateful!
I am also really happy to know the definition of blunderbust and blackball. Thank you, Audible, for a wonderful performance that has become a household lifesaver!

Alvie Brechenmacher has arrived in London to begin her training in Polymaking - the magical discipline of bespelling plastic. Polymaking is the newest form of magic, and in a field where there is so much left to learn, every Polymaker dreams of making the next big discovery. Even though she is only an apprentice, Alvie is an inventor at heart, and she is determined to make as many discoveries - in as short a time frame - as she can. Luckily for her, she’s studying under the world-renowned magician Marion Praff, who is just as dedicated as Alvie is.

So much of Alvie reminded me of myself, I loved her! She was very relatable with her quirkiness and awkward charm.
I am a huge fan of the Paper Magician series, and was excited when I saw this book was coming out! It can be read as a stand alone; however, I found it weirdly entertaining, as if I were in on a secret, when characters from the trilogy would surface in Alvie's story. Charlie has created a charming universe, and I hope she continues to explore it.
The performance was also really great! I listened at 1.5x speed, so it wasn't completely as it was designed, but I felt like the voice actor did a great job bringing it all to life.

In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.

entertaining!
Reviewed: 12-03-16
loved the book! warning-lots of language. It was consistent with how I viewed her, so I was able to ignore it. I enjoyed hearing about her decidedly normal upbringing and how she has won over people with her fresh, honest and hilarious views of the world. I also appreciated how not over the top, but glowing praise and love of her family came through.

Amelia Peabody inherited two things from her father: a considerable fortune and an unbendable will. The first allowed her to indulge in her life's passion. Without the second, the mummy's curse would have made corpses of them all.
