Typically rich John Burdett tale, enlivened by the stunning acting skills of the narrator. Movie-like.

I became delighted in the main character, and felt that it was enough to adore this gentleman and his ways, his friends, his love. But then the author picked up the pace and gave me a grand adventure, to boot! I loved this story enormously, and the telling of it by the expressive, humorous narrator enhanced my enjoyment. I'm so grateful to my local book club for their selection of this wonderful work.

The Fault in Our Stars Audiobook By John Green cover art

Without being in the least bit cloying, this story moved me to tears numerous times. As soon as I finished listening to it -- out of order, as it turned out, which made it strangely even more gripping -- I purchased another Audible book by the same author, John Green, and another book narrated by the same tremendously talented voice actor, Kate Rudd. Every once in a while, my Audible selections have brought me an experience of the book that feels like it far exceeds reading. The amazing range and acting of the narrator breathed a vital force into each character. I would recommend this Audible selection very highly.

We listened to this in a sprint, on a two-day roadtrip. What a blast! Juicy characters, unquenchable adventure, tension, horror, pathos. Loved it!

What made the experience of listening to Big Little Lies the most enjoyable?

The format works incredibly well as an audible book, and the story is superb. This is not the slight, gossipy, voyeuristic beach read I expected. I loved the characters sincerely, by the end.

Would you consider the audio edition of All the Light We Cannot See to be better than the print version?

N/A

Who was your favorite character and why?

Uncle Etienne has a fascinating back story and great courage, in spite of the trauma he has suffered.

What about Zach Appelman’s performance did you like?

The narrator gave voice to terrible events without blurring or exaggerating.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I found this story hard to put down. If I had the luxury of listening to it all at once, I would.

Any additional comments?

The use of dates in the chapter headings was ENORMOUSLY HELPFUL in this story, which bounced around in time.
