Cute story, HORRIBLE Narrator

This book held my interest because of the story but it was a hard fight not to quite in the first five minutes due to the very unsuitable narrator.

Reinvention

This novel did amazing things for my spirit. It transported me to times of great loves, bad loves and in between loves. Most important it reminded me that we can do anything we desire, no matter the phase in our life we find ourselves; reinvention is possible . Just start and don’t stop until you’ve finished.

Good Book, Not so great audio

If you could sum up I Almost Forgot About You in three words, what would they be?

Interesting
Entertaining
Light

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Terry McMillan?

Anyone else who has read audio books before. I like it when authors read their own books, but Ms. McMillan's voice was monotone and it was difficult to distinguish who was speaking when there were conversations between two or more characters.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed the book overall, it was just hard to listen to. Perhaps in Paperback, it would have been better.

Fun Listen

First, much has been said regarding McMillan's narrations. I thought it was great except beginning with the second half where all the voices sound alike and it gets confusing, especially since McMillan has a very, very masculine voice. Transsexual, possibly?

The storytelling was great, just like in the two movies Terry is famous for. I enjoyed it.

Loved It!

Only gave this story a 4 star because although I am 55 years old, I did not agree with the main character's decision to look up her old boyfriends, but I kept reading, and I LOVED IT!
