Quite liked this one.

Where does The Lucky One rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

this was my first audio book.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

wouldn't change the story. i quite liked it the way it was.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of John Bedford Lloyd?

yes. i found him quite distracting. ESPECIALLY when he is reading the female voices.

Who was the most memorable character of The Lucky One and why?

i liked them all but as i am a sucker for dogs, i loved Zues.

Beautiful from beginning to end.

Took a bit to get used to the music at the end of each chapter, didn't like the pauses at the end of each chapter either. Thought it was stopping and don't like to fiddle with my cell while on the road.

LOVED IT! GREAT STORY! GREAT AUDIO!

Any additional comments?

I absolutely love it! You must read before you see the movie, but then I highly recommend the movie as well. I love Nicholas Sparks and this is one of my favorites!

Not my favorite Sparks novel

This was a slow storyline and rather predictable if you're familiar with Nicholas Sparks. The narrator is one of my least favorites that I've heard in Sparks novels.
