Paradise

I read Paradise with my book club. Many had a difficult times making sense of it. I had to listen twice myself. There are a lot characters and it is difficult to keep up with who is who. Over all it was an interestingly bizarre story that introduces you to the strangest group of people. Morrison did make me curious about all these troubled people but it disappointed me by ending so with many unanswered questions.

Same version of book so I was planning on reading it and listening at same time but the audio is different from the book

I was very disappointed in the reading of this book, she does not go word for word and even skips paragraphs and pages of the detailed information which made this EXTREMMELY HARD TO FOLLOW, AS if this story was not hard enough to catch on to. Needless to say I made it half way through and gave up entirely, not even curious how it ends because the end is in the 1st sentence. She seems brilliant as I heard her speak in an interview apparently she was simply a bit over my head.

I just wish it was read word for word and not skipping around. But I enjoyed it.

I really really enjoyed this novel, and listening to the author read it was great.

I had to listen twice because the ending was confusing. Overall a good book though. Leisure reading, might have been better to physically read.

Morrison reading her own words gives deeper depth to the story. The attitudes of each character come forth from her deliberate cadence. It's so worth the 25 bucks.

Not well spent because the story was abridged. I like to read the books alongside of the text. The author kept skipping over segments of the book.

The opening of the book will capture the listener/reader. "They shoot the white girl first."

The author is the best reader for the project.

I would love to see it in film.

no

For some reason I got this to listen as I read along for my enlgish class and the story teller skipped from sentences all the way to a page. I was very disappointed.

yes

anger

pretty disappointed the story wasn't read word for word. I wasn't able to do my homework like I'd of liked to..

to make this a wonderful experience, the author should get a professional narrator to read the audiobook. the author did a horrible job. The book is a great book but the narrator makes it impossible to listen to the book. her monotone through out the whole entire book was annoying to say the least.

I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THE STORY. GREAT BOOK, HORRIBLE NARRATION!!!!!!

GETTING A PROFESSIONAL NARRATOR. PLEASE DON'T DO ANY MORE NARRATION OF YOUR BOOKS!!!!!!!!!

ITS A GREAT BOOK, I HAVE READ IT BEFORE BUT FOR ANYONE WHO HAVE NOT READ OR LISTEN WOULD NOT LIKE THE AUDIO VERSION AND WOULD WANT TO RETURN IT

GET A PROFESSIONAL NARRATOR, ACTOR OR ACTRESS TO DO YOUR NARRATION OF ALL YOUR BOOKS. THEY NEED TO BE REDONE WITH THE PROFESSIONALS. TONY MORRISON IS AN EXCELLENT WRITER BUT SUCKS AS A NARRATOR.
