I enjoy a wide variety of novels in audio book format. As a commuter with 140 miles/day. I can burn through titles quickly.

    Set in Calcutta in the 1930s, The Midnight Palace begins on a dark night when an English lieutenant fights to save newborn twins Ben and Sheere from an unthinkable threat. Despite monsoon-force rains and terrible danger lurking around every street corner, the young lieutenant manages to get them to safety, but not without losing his own life.... Years later, on the eve of Ben and Sheere's 16th birthday, the mysterious threat reenters their lives. This time, it may be impossible to escape....

    R. J. Melton says: "Another lovely book, beautifully presented."

    Would you consider the audio edition of The Midnight Palace to be better than the print version?

    Carlos Ruiz Zafon is one of my favorite authors. I have read and listened to his books, both are stellar formats since Carlos is a fantastic writer and the translations from Spanish are rich and fluid.


    Any additional comments?

    In general, I prefer 'standard reading' audio books, but I have enjoyed the theatrical presentation in this book.

    It's war time, and the Carver family decides to leave the capital where they live and move to a small coastal village where they've recently bought a home. But from the minute they cross the threshold, strange things begin to happen. In that mysterious house still lurks the spirit of Jacob, the previous owners' son, who died by drowning.
