About this listen
The year is 1499. As Alexandra Dunn’s farmhouse is set ablaze, her grandfather places precious stones in her palm, telling her she has until the next full moon to return with a hero ... a brave, chivalrous knight to help save her family. Familiar objects become a blur as she is swallowed in darkness. Suddenly Alexandra is standing in the middle of Central Park, but she has no time to ponder on the wondrous powers of the stones or the amazing sights before her ... she must find a hero before all is lost.
Joe McFarland would be the first to admit that he’s far from hero material … definitely not the man she’s looking for. A firm believer in quietude and non-violence, he avoids conflict at all costs. At 34, he is one of the younger Professors at NYU where he lectures and teaches History: The High Middle Ages.
Joe’s organized, well-structured life begins to unravel the moment he meets Alexandra Dunn. He figures she majored in medieval history before going off the deep end … until days later when he is miraculously transported through time, to 1499 England. Dressed in Dockers and a button-down shirt, Joe thought he was ready for anything ... anything but this!
An armored man with a very authentic looking broadsword is about to strike him down. With only nail clippers and a Bic to defend himself, Joe has no time to think about such an implausible phenomenon as traveling through time … not if he wants to live to see another day.

Story
In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue - Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is - she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.

What did you like best about A Knight in Central Park? What did you like least?
It was really difficult to get into this book BECAUSE THE NARRATOR was so bad, almost totally monotoned. I love time travel stories. I did feel that this book might have been more interesting with a different narrator, such as Kathrine Kellgren, who performed Ragan's "Return of the Rose." As it is, I was tempted to give it a "0" for all catagories. Please use a different narrator to give this book a chance!How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
I thought the theme was good. Did need more dialog --- or did I just miss it because of the narrator?Would you be willing to try another one of Heather Wilds’s performances?
No!If this book were a movie would you go see it?
Not sure.Any additional comments?
I have listened to many audible books. Without a doubt, the narrator can make or break the book for me. This narrator's voice was clear but there was no energy in it to keep you interested, no passion. My favorite narrator is Kathrine Kellgren and I do search for books that she narrates. I have not been disappointed yet. Miss Wilde has a nice voice but she could take some lessons from Miss Kellgren.Really Bad Narrator which Spoils this Book!

Not what I was looking for...
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I didn't like the narrator either she was so s l o w so double speed it if you're going to purchase it.
I've already downloaded Return of the Rose otherwise I wouldn't have bothered until it was on sale.
Worth my credit? No, I could quite happily of lived my life without ever hearing this tale. But, if it's on sale, and you're wanting a light listen, then maybe yes.
I really wanted to like it but........
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
NO!! The narrator is just terrible and I gave it 3 stars for overall and story because it seems like it will be a good story but I've only reached 10% right now and I'm finished listening. I will finish the story by reading it. Joe's voice sounds just like Alexandra's. The narrator doesn"t even try to make it sound like a male. All she does is read the book. AND not a bit of emotion when she reads.Would you be willing to try another one of Heather Wilds’s performances?
Absolutely not!Did A Knight in Central Park inspire you to do anything?
Yeah.. Read or listen to another time travel.Any additional comments?
If this narrator is being paid to read this book someone is wasting their money. She could take lessons from Katherine Kellgren. That's one wonderful narrator. So much emotion when she reads, anger, joy, sadness, love, hate, etc. She reads a book like it should be read.Jeeez..
