"Fun listen"
I thought the reader was pretty good and didn't get too heavy handed and weird when trying to read male voices. A fun modern listen and fun for some escapism.
"Good book, fun listen except for male voices"
I really enjoyed listening to this book EXCEPT when the men talked. I had a hard time even thinking the male lead could be considered sexy b/c of the readers slaughtering of male voices. I know it's hard, and she did a nice job differentiating between Suger Beth and Winnie but she kinda ruined the image of the lead for me. Still worth the buy, though.
"A great guide if you know the area"
I started to listen to this before my most recent (2nd) visit, but b/c I didn't have a map and couldn't remember the layout, I quit in frustration. Having spent three days out there, hiking, biking and driving, I'm now greatly enjoying this download. The BOOK would be useful regardless, since you could refer to the map, but unless you have a good sense of the area, the DOWNLOAD could be very frustrating. The reader/author was perfect.
"Response to whole show question"
As a consumer, I agree that the whole show is the prefered format - who wouldn't like to hear everything while out on a walk? But as an employee, I'm sorry to say we can't make all the content available via Audible b/c we have not been given the rights to do so from the other guests/musicians.
