    "Good atmosphere, average story"
    What did you love best about Dance Upon the Air?

    The overall feel of the book. Sort of dreamy and pleasant. Makes you want to settle in a pretty little seaside town and work in the cafe. The story was decent enough to keep me interested, but the setting was the star of the show.


    Would you recommend Dance Upon the Air to your friends? Why or why not?

    Yes, to the ones who like a dreamy romantic read.


    Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Sandra Burr?

    Almost anyone. The narrator had a nice voice and would be great for children's stories, but the way she handled what was supposed to be normal adult dialog was sorely lacking. I constantly found myself thinking, "who the *$%& talks like that??" The voice of the main character sounded downright child-like at times, enough to be a little creepy during some of the "love" scenes. While the audio book was great for passing the time while driving or doing housework, the narration left me wishing I had read the print version.

    "Good story, bad narrator"
    Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

    THe book itself, yes. The Narrator, no.


    What did you like best about this story?

    The Magical aspect.


    How did the narrator detract from the book?

    Completely. I hated her voice. She does her best to make everyone sound like aseven year old. Or an old woman.


    What would have made this romance irresistible?

    I had no problem with the romance, I thought it was wonderful. I couldn't finish it because of the narrator.

    I love books and I don't like to listen to the radio on the way to work. Now I can listen to books instead! I am in heaven.

    What made the experience of listening to Dance Upon the Air the most enjoyable?

    The story made you forget you were in traffic.

    The story moved along at a good pace. And the character's were interesting, even though there were some sterotypes (in my humberl opinion).


    Which scene was your favorite?

    When Nell's ex showed up and got his just desserts!


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    I felt satisfied that good triumphed, even temprarily.


    Any additional comments?

    I am reading the whole trilogy, and I will read another one of series, the one with Ireland in the background.

    "Enjoyed story, poor narration"

    Enjoyed the story but couldn't get over the male voices. The voices were creepy. But due to the story building I have to finish the trilogy. Male voices are annoying.

    "Dance Upon The Air"

    Like all of Nora’s series books I really enjoyed Dane Upon The Air. The narrator was fantastic and the story line very good. This was like most of Nora’s book predictable in a way but still very enjoyable. If you enjoy Nora Roberts I think you will like this series also. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

    "Interesting book"

    Good plot, nice listen. This book held my interest and after listening now to the second of this trilogy, it filled in some of the missing parts that weren't quite explained in this first book. Overall I would give it a thumbs up.

    Story
    "What was she thinking?"

    The book is about an abused woman who ran for her life. So when she picks up with another guy, guess what? Yep, the author crafted another guy who is as controlling as the one her heroine left. Granted, he doesn't hit her, but the whole control thing is, well, creepy. The concept was interesting, and the plot had its good points but the characterization was lacking. Good narration.

    "Okay"

    An entertaining listen but not one of Robert's best efforts. I am a fan of Nora Roberts and have truly enjoyed most of her books. Unfortunately this book fell somewhat short of my expectations..

    "nice story"

    ..even though I don't like love stories, it was nice to listen to this one. I don't know if I need the other 2 books, though.

    "Fantastic!"

    I'm a big fan of female detective novels, humorous stories and spy thrillers, so haven't tried out Nora Roberts before. Boy was I ever missing a great author! This story flowed quickly and easily, keeping my interest until the last 'page' was read. The characters were believable and developed just enough to care about, but not so much you wondered when she would get back to the story. I thoroughly enjoyed the Narrator and can't wait to read the next in the trilogy!
