"My favorite book, read by the author."
The audible version is better than the print because you can drive, work-out, and clean your house while listening. Because this is my favorite book it has been very cool to have it read to me by the author, with the inflection and pauses he intended.
When Violet the child stolen by the fairies is flying by her own sleeping mother( that she hasn't seen in years) on the back of a stork and reaches out to touch her mother's hair.
This sentence will obviously make no sense to someone who has not read the book.
I like all the characters too much to pick just one. I identify a lot with Daily Alice.
This book gives me a feeling of wonder that I only remember from childhood.
This book is a classic, if you love fantasy or strange tales you must read this book in your lifetime. I quote this book often and there is a web site dedicated to quotes from this book.
"One of the best books I've ever listened to."
Mingus Roode. I love him. When I wasn't listening I was wondering what was happening to him.
This is one of the only books I've ever read/listened to that I felt had no cheesy filler parts. Most books have parts that you can take seriously, and parts where you can tell the writer is filling in or trying to bring things together, you know where you stop hearing the story and you're just watching the writer write feeling a little sorry for him/her. This book was real heart felt story telling all the way through. These characters are real people, even though they aren't.. They could be any one of us is what I mean. Just read it.
"Wow"
If you are into yoga, meditation or are seeking to grow spiritually you need to listen to this book. I spend a lot of time reading and listening to eastern spirituality books and a lot of it is the same thing said different ways. This is actually different, it goes into depth about some ideas that were touched on in my yoga teacher training. So glad I found this!!!
"If you eat food, you MUST read this book"
It is time for human beings to take responsibility for the things they put in their bodies. No more can we continue to buy these products and say "Well, I didn't know." the information is out there, we are all adults and have a responsibly to educate ourselves. By continuing to support these practices we are condoning it and are there for responsible. Eating animals is a good place to start because it is a very balanced picture of what is wrong with our farming system. There are parts that are hard to hear for sure. But we owe it to our fellow creatures on this earth to treat them with fairness. We owe it to ourselves to know what we are putting in our mouths and feeding to our children. Every adult on this earth should read this book. Seriously.
"One of those books you will want to relisten to"
twisted, deep, sexy
Galilee, because you just fall in love with him, its actually impossible not to.
I don't think its a
This book has not gotten it's proper due. I feel it should have the popularity of Anne Rice's The Withing Hour.
"One of my favorites!"
I adore this series! I love the characters, the plot, the SEX! And Simon's voice is perfect for this story. Not for people who are faint at heart about love making though.
"Simply a great listen"
This is a wonderful, insighful book with great narration. I was sad when it was over.
