Yes, especially if they are interested in Appendix N literature

Who was your favorite character and why?

The shining ones - creepy! Or perhaps the eponymous Black Amazon . . .

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Edward Miller?

Almost anyone else - I was not a fan of the narration!

Could you see Black Amazon of Mars being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Oh yes - but I have no idea who should be cast!

terrible narration

the worst narration for an audiobook I have ever heard far too slow and jowly, he is an unbelievably monotone cross between Norm from cheers and Emo Philips
