i hope a movie is in the works.

bodu. what a cool friend

oswald

max. i learned so much about humans from his character. i understand he had a disorder which made him extreme but we are all like him in that we have comfort zones we protect.

i am excited about this story and am highly recommending it!

I think the voice of the narrator (and the voice of the performer) really carried the story forward.

Oh, it was impossible not to like the main character.

Well, he changes the voices for the characters, bringing a new quality to the characters, adding another level of character to them.

I was driving, and I admit that there were a few times where I was practically on the edge of my seat, which is kind of dangerous. There were a couple times where I was yelling at the console in my car like a football fan yelling at the TV. It was kind of exciting.

This is a unique story. The ending could use some help. The resolution moved a bit fast. It was a bit unnecessary. There was a shift in character that didn't seem necessary to me. But okay. Still, it's worth a read.

The author's preoccupation with death made what could have been a delightful tale an onerous burden. The imaginary friend has too long monologues so that we never fully get to meet his owner. There are too many contradictions regarding what the imaginary friend can and cannot do, like go through doors but not walls or curtains that take away from the preciousness of the tale.

The narrator wasn't too bad.

It started out ok.

I enjoyed this book from beginning to the end. What is life without our imagination? Boring and dull! Without the ability to "talk to ourselves" we might go crazy! I can relate to Max, I too had a stressful event as a child and my ability to be somewhere else in my mind spared me the pain of the moment! Reading does that for me now, it takes me away! Great book! Well read!

What a fantastic mystery with delightful characters! This well written story completely captures the nuances of human relationships while sharing the essential elements of adventure or risk to grow or fade parts of ourselves.

The meaning of friendship

It has been a very long time since I have thought about the importance an imaginary friend can have for a lonely child. Budo, the very vocal imaginary friend of Max, protects him from bullies and helps him to try behaviors that will help him to fit in. You see, Max is a different child, perhaps an Autistic child.

The author, Matthew Dicks, has breathed life into Bubo. He tells us how imaginary friends are born and how they die. Bubo talks to the others who accompany the children to school. The pace of the story is never slow, and becomes every bit as exciting as the thrillers that I usually read.

I enjoyed the narrator's performance very much. No complaints here.

I recommend Memoirs of an Imaginary Friend highly. It has been several weeks since I "read" it-- in one sitting -- I couldn't sleep until I got to the end, and I am still talking about it.

Great characters, excellent plot and twists.

Bodu, his interpretation of the events drew me in and let me escape to another world.

no, I will seek out other performances though

Imaginary friends do exist....

thank you to other reviewers, it was based on their recommendations that I bought this book.
