One More Great Book.

Story, very good.
The storyteller was good but the voice of Beth was not real good. Instead of sounding like a young woman with something going on she sounds like my late aunt telling me how to make banana bread. Just sayin.

love Nicholas Sparks books

I can always count on Nicholas Sparks to sweep me away in his books to the setting, making it feel as if I am a fly on the wall listening in on everything going on.

Always different and yet similar stories of love

Nicholas Sparks stories are a true pleasure to read or listen to. Though his characters are different in occupation and life history the hero and heroine are always pure of heart and have the reader cheering for them.
sure it may be a different plot and the same story each time but that's what Nicholas Sparks readers want. And I am one of them

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.
