Davina Porter is an excellent narrator! she does an amazing job of giving the various characters a distinct voice. if only she could do an American accent for Brianna.

Good But Not Appropriate for Children...

Reviewed: 02-03-20

Catherine Byers reading of "Zel" was wonderful and Napoli is a gifted writer. I loved how she selved into the minds and psyches of the characters. I'm just not sure it should be marketed as a children's book due to mature content. If you like reimagined fairy tales you'll love it.

Riveting Tragedies

Reviewed: 03-20-19

"Just Mercy" is the common read at Penn State this year and Bryan Stevenson is speaking at Penn State Abington. I got the audiobook to ensure I'd be able to finish the book in time for his appearance on campus today. It was amazing to listen to an author read his own book, although Stevenson's pace was a bit slow for me (I listened at 1.25 speed). The book is masterfully written and I would reccomend it to anyone interested in true crime or learning more about the problems in our justice system.

Davina Porter is a Skillful Narrator

Reviewed: 01-11-19

Davina Porter almost perfectly tells the story Gabaldon wrote. I am amazed at the way she is able to give each character a different voice right down to accent in most cases. The only type of accent she cannot do is American which is unfortunate but forgivable since she is so wonderful at nearly every other aspect of story telling. my inebper peeve is that as I read along with her I found that she sometimes skipped over a sentence here or there. Most noticeably toward the end of the novel. Not a huge deal but since I was reading along it was hard to miss. Overall a really good listen. I'd definitely recommend it and anything else read by Davina Porter.
