Golden Globe nominee Scarlett Johansson ( Lost in Translation, Girl with a Pearl Earring) brings a palpable sense of joy and exuberance to her performance of Lewis Carroll's enduring classic Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The young and imaginative Alice grows weary of her storybook, one "without pictures or conversations", and follows a hasty hare underground - to come face to face with a host of strange and fantastic characters.

Scarlett Johansson kept my young children enraptured with every new character she introduced. We completed the whole book in two afternoon sittings, which has NEVER happened before. This audiobook experience has ignited a new passion for "reading" within my children, and I couldn't be happier.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 117
It’s been over six months since the eruption of the Yellowstone supervolcano. Alex and Darla have been staying with Alex’s relatives, trying to cope with the new reality of the primitive world so vividly portrayed in Ashfall, the first book in this trilogy. It’s also been six months of waiting for Alex’s parents to return from Iowa. Alex and Darla decide they can wait no longer and must retrace their journey into Iowa to find and bring back Alex’s parents to the tenuous safety of Illinois.

Why Did They Change The Narrator?
Reviewed: 02-27-23
The story was well-written, I just wish the author would stick to his day job. The difference in narration between the first and second books has been incredibly frustrating. You can tell the narrator of the first book is a professional storyteller. The second story sounds like someone decided to "wing it". After some research, I was shocked to learn that the new narrator was the author himself. I had to stop periodically from the story to take a break from the poor narration.
It took about 20 chapters to get my head into the story properly. Once I did though, I was reminded why I tried so hard to do so.
The story is worth the purchase, just not through audible.

This was a simple and sweet book. Heartwarming.

At first, I was afraid this book would be full of clichés. However, after the first few chapters when everyone had been introduced, the story definitely improved. This story flows well, and progressed gradually(which I prefer). I believe this to be an easier book to follow along with as an audio book.
