Talked to a friend yesterday and she did say the audio did not work for the Plum ones eitherBlodeueddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03435479623560871881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157347784110166160.post-42761716336593395442009-11-11T06:20:30.377+02:002009-11-11T06:20:30.377+02:00Hi Blodeuedd!

I've picked up her books, but never manage to take them home. I wonder if reading would improve the story. <br /><br />Great review, I loved it, lol!<br /><br />Dottie :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08688849410604429533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157347784110166160.post-43868895591661024922009-11-11T03:12:16.504+02:002009-11-11T03:12:16.504+02:00Sorry the audio was disappointing.

My husband will take audio books out of the library for us to listen to on long trips, and if the narrator is annoying, I turn it off right away!<br /><br />--Anna<br /><a href="http://diaryofaneccentric.blogspt.com/" rel="nofollow">Diary of an Eccentric</a>Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08046635675540466183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157347784110166160.post-69742008576663727172009-11-09T10:26:29.585+02:002009-11-09T10:26:29.585+02:00Sassy Brit,

For me it must be a great narrator, or else, no.<br /><br />Yvonne,<br />Dunno why they must re-do them, could she just not keep them like they are.

But hey, I am quite partial to audio books, but it can be difficult to take it all in, if it is a complexed plot etc, and you are doing something else. Well, I find so. :) I do love the cover - what a cute pig!

If I am to listen to a voice for hours it needs to be good.<br />But perhaps the Plum ones have another voice, a better one.<br /><br />Nah not much substance, just annoying characters. i can live with fluff, I can read fluff but I sure cannot listen to fluff!<br /><br />I read listen to a Gaiman book and he is an excellent reader, his voice was magic!

They are hysterical.<br /><br />Carol,<br />Oh I should have given up but I listened to it while washing the dishes. But Plum is way superior.<br /><br />Mary,<br />Audio books are so, blah. They need a great narrator to keep me focused.

The quality of the reader, readers, is important. Have listened to the several of the Stephanie Plum books and they were well done. These other chick-lit books are romantic fluff. Whether read or listened to, there isn't going to be much substance. <br />I read Nora Roberts' Circle Trilogy and enjoyed it. About a year later I listened to it on CD and enjoyed it so much more. The reader did an excellent job with the voices. I always have about 3 books I'm reading and one I'm listening to. It's the only way I can "read" even a portion of the books I'd like.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157347784110166160.post-79660570296506454512009-11-07T04:15:28.521+02:002009-11-07T04:15:28.521+02:00If I try this one I think I'll grab the book :...If I try this one I think I'll grab the book :) And I just adore this cover! :)Kristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00246520046645594673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157347784110166160.post-27494128168210563142009-11-07T02:14:29.336+02:002009-11-07T02:14:29.336+02:00I've not had any luck with audio books so I wi...I've not had any luck with audio books so I will continue to read too!!
