Story
With a thriving parahuman accounting practice, a steady relationship, and a circle of trusted friends, Fred's undead life has become more enjoyable than his normal one ever was. Unfortunately it also seems that he's no longer the only vampire to appreciate the up-and-coming city of Winslow, Colorado. A new clan of vampires is moving in, and they aren't well known for tolerating outsiders in their territory.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Forbidden Stone to be better than the print version?
As all unabridge versions, exactally like the book, Local law enforcment frowns on reading while driving so i will stick to the audio versons
Who was your favorite character and why?
I would have to say Becca, the shy introvert the author does give a glimps of her coming out of her shell.
Have you listened to any of MacLeod Andrews’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I have not listen to any othere Audio, while his voices are no Roy Datrice or Jim Dale he does a decent job
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I found the story made some presumptions that were not obvious. The interaction between villian and the children to be lacking, Would love to have more depth to the villian, That being said with more books to come i see that role growing
Any additional comments?
decent book I will be listing to the others i am intrested in the subject matter and it did an OK job in grabbing my attention

Story
Why we think it’s a great listen: It’s easy to say that when it comes to sci-fi you either love it or you hate it. But with Ender’s Game, it seems to be you either love it or you love it.... The war with the Buggers has been raging for a hundred years, and the quest for the perfect general has been underway for almost as long. Enter Andrew "Ender" Wiggin, the result of decades of genetic experimentation.
