![The Murder of Roger Ackroyd: A Hercule Poirot Mystery | [Agatha Christie]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51BeTCYP80L._SL175_.jpg)
"Wonderful!"
What made the experience of listening to The Murder of Roger Ackroyd the most enjoyable?It's one of my very favorite Agatha Christie books of all time, so it was wonderful to be able to listen to it in the car.
Who was your favorite character and why?Poirot, of course! He comes across as arrogant, yet no one takes him very seriously - until the very end when he pounces. Underestimated by the characters.
What does Hugh Fraser bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?The audio version of the book brings a delightful voice to the narrative that I didn't really get as I read the book. Hugh Fraser made the book really come alive.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?You'll never guess who did it.
Any additional comments?A must read in the Christie canon.

![Treasure in Clay: The Autobiography of Fulton J. Sheen | [Fulton J. Sheen]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/512iZNWG42L._SL175_.jpg)
"What a Wonderful Autobiography!"
What made the experience of listening to Treasure in Clay the most enjoyable?Listening in Bishop Sheen's own words the story of his life was the most enjoyable part of the experience for me.
Who was your favorite character and why?Bishop Sheen is, of course, my favorite character in the book. I've been a devotee of his talks and books for many many years, since my Dad introduced me to him 25 years ago. I pray that he makes sainthood.
What about Greg Friedman’s performance did you like?I wasn't pulled out of the story by his performance.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?I certainly wanted to, but was unable to.
Any additional comments?The only way this could have been made better would be if Bishop Sheen were reading this book himself. He is unparalleled for his story telling ability. I would have loved to hear his voice change as he read. Additionally, would love to listen to more of his books as audiobooks.

![The Fellowship of the Ring: Book One in The Lord of the Rings Trilogy | [J. R. R. Tolkien]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/615xqa-V0PL._SL175_.jpg)
"Delightful!"
Would you consider the audio edition of The Fellowship of the Ring to be better than the print version?The audio version is better to listen to than the print version. :) I do prefer to listen to the audio description of the landscape much more than I like to read about them. Overall, both audio and print are wonderful - this is "Lord of the Rings" we're talking about.
What did you like best about this story?I love the introduction and development of the characters in The Fellowship of the Ring.
Which character – as performed by Rob Inglis – was your favorite?I loved Tom Bombadill, quirky, fun, wise. Additionally, I have noted the subtle more sophisticated and elevated tone Inglis uses with Aragorn so I enjoy his characterization there as well.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?Oh yes.
Any additional comments?The time commitment of re-reading all the Tolkien books is significant - it's really wonderful to be able to listen to the books during the long commute and enjoy them again and again.
