    Most people think 15-year-old Charlie is a freak. But then seniors Patrick and his beautiful stepsister Sam take Charlie under their wings and introduce him to their eclectic, open-minded, hard-partying friends. It is from these older kids that Charlie learns to live and love.

    What did you love best about The Perks of Being a Wallflower?

    The innocence in the narration, the absolute honesty of the character. The narration is also very good, very true to the main character.


    Which scene was your favorite?

    The three friends, driving with great music, feeling infinite.


    If you could take any character from The Perks of Being a Wallflower out to dinner, who would it be and why?

    Charlie, it's always fun to be able to talk to someone who speaks his mind openly... upon asking a lot of questions, of course.

    Stephen R. Covey's book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, has been a top seller for the simple reason that it ignores trends and pop psychology for proven principles of fairness, integrity, honesty, and human dignity. Celebrating its 15th year of helping people solve personal and professional problems, this special anniversary edition includes a new forward and afterword written by Covey that explore whether the 7 Habits are still relevant.

    Story
    Is there anything you would change about this book?

    The narration, it felt very plain, so I got bored... I got great advice from this book, but I couldn't finish it since I was afraid to fall sleep while driving.


    What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

    Did not finished this book.


    What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

    I didn't linke the narrator, it felt too dull. However, the book has great advice. It doesn't translate well from book to audiobook in the chapters where there are practical exercises to apply in the reader's life.


    Who do you think would benefit most from listening to The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People?

    People in need of truthful advice, not only "quick fixes", as the author explains.

    Why we think it’s a great listen: If you’ve ever loved a dog - or even patted a dog - this book, told from the perspective of man’s best friend, will tug at your heartstrings...and won’t let go until long after Welch performs the last word. Enzo knows he is different from other dogs: a philosopher with a nearly human soul (and an obsession with opposable thumbs), he has educated himself by watching television extensively and by listening very closely to the words of his master.

    Lora says: "Enzo (because he's so wize) for president."

    What made the experience of listening to The Art of Racing in the Rain the most enjoyable?

    I loved having the point of view of a dog, as he got to witness several important moments of his family's life. From a loving, honest and really wise perspective... the perspective of one who cannot talk, but only to watch and listen.


    What did you like best about this story?

    I really liked Enzo's personality, I thought it was gonna be a sweet puppy kind of dog, but he was really wise, loved, got mad, etc. I loved the complexity of his character.


    Have you listened to any of Christopher Evan Welch’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    No, I haven't.


    If you could take any character from The Art of Racing in the Rain out to dinner, who would it be and why?

    Definitely Enzo.


    Any additional comments?

    Loved this book, got into my "favorites" list. I would like to point that it is not a "Marley" kind of story, as some people tried to put it when I read the reviews: I really liked Marley, but Enzo is a way more complex character, and the problems he and his family go through are WAY harder. I really got to love Enzo, I see my own Jack Russell in a whole new perspective now.
