    "Surprisingly enjoyable read"
    Would you listen to The Witness again? Why?

    I might, just to hear the narration by Julia Whelan.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    Abigail/Elizabeth. She didn't have sloppy emotions, didn't whine, and did what she needed to do without getting wordy about it. I like her matter of fact and logical way of thinking.


    What does Julia Whelan bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    Her voice for Abigail and the tones and inflections to reflect her "Mr Spock" way of speaking was wonderful and realistic without being annoying. I could not have done it as well "in my head".


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

    When I get ahold of a book with a interesting plot and a good narrator I would go all day listening if I get the opportunity. This was one of those books.


    Any additional comments?

    Norah Roberts books can be a little foo-foo for me but after reading "The Witness" I will check out the plots on her past and new books.

    The unique and creative plot is fleshed out by Roberts' reliable warm and interesting characters. Just plain enjoyable.

    What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

    Disappointment


    Any additional comments?

    This book was a total disappointment for me. I don't know why this book is categorized as "suspense". It must have been categorized as "romance". If you like the Jack Reacher series, and if you are a guy, this book is not for you. Trust me and stay away. If you are a female, then you will probably love this book like other reviewers. I am not going to provide any spoilers, but the main character "Liz/Abigail" acts like a person who is from another planet and who is sent to live among humans. And this drags till the end of the book. At one point, I also thought of her as a computer program that is trying to live a human life. I cannot find anymore words to describe my disappointment with the main character as well as the storyline. The book has the potential to deliver an interesting and captivating story but fails miserably. Overall, I couldn't wait for it to end. A little note for Julia Whelan: she delivers an outstanding performance. She is the only reason I finished this book. I fell in love with her!

    "Can't go wrong with Nora Roberts"
    What made the experience of listening to The Witness the most enjoyable?

    Easy to follow the characters and story line. I listened to the book in chunks, often with days in between and the story still worked for me.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    The personalities of both lead characters - Abigail and Brooks - come across well. I quite liked Brooks' mom - a little quirky, warm and fun.


    Which character – as performed by Julia Whelan – was your favorite?

    Julia really does well to differentiate the characters with subtleties in her voice and tone or with relevant accents. No particular favourite.


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

    I definitely did a some sittings of a couple of hours, which were really enjoyable. But most of the time I listened here and there while doing other tasks or driving. This book was good company over many hours.


    Any additional comments?

    A general 'good read'.

    I enjoy stories! Mysteries, drama, love stories...some sci-fi, some self help, some history. Books are entertaining, and educational to me. Since being an audible customer I've listened to some great books and not many that I just didn't like (only two so far, and that's not bad!). Audible has a fantastic library! So many books to choose from. Some of the books recommended for me were great! Thanks Audible!

    What made the experience of listening to The Witness the most enjoyable?

    This book has given me renewed interest in Nora Roberts, as I've gotten a little bored with her. I LOVED this story. She may have rushed the ending a little, but it works well. The narrator did a fantastic job.
