Superheroes have always been Leia Birch Briggs' weakness. One tequila-soaked night at a comics convention, the usually level-headed graphic novelist is swept off her barstool by a handsome and anonymous Batman. It turns out the caped crusader has left her with more than just a nice, fuzzy memory. She's having a baby boy - an unexpected but not unhappy development in the 38-year-old's life.

Worthwhile
Would you listen to The Storyteller again? Why?
No, I enjoyed it, but I rarely reread books. This one isn't uplifting or funny, so it doesn't need a second visit
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
The details of what the concentration camps were like were fascinating.
Which character – as performed by the narrators – was your favorite?
I loved the mixture of the narrators. That kept me interested in the book
Any additional comments?
It's a good book, it's not uplifting and I didn't agree with the main characters actions. In some ways, it took me a while to get her and I'm not sure I ever really embraced her. I actually could "get" the other characters better for what ever reason. It's well written and interesting but it did get long.

Even though it is a work of fiction, it reminds us of a nearly forgotten past. God help that we do not repeat it.

Worth Listening To
Most of this story kept my interest, with some parts dragging on a bit. I didn’t realize this book was going to have a Holocaust aspect, but it reinforces what innocent people had to endure approximately seventy-five years ago. I actually didn’t care for the vampire story that was conveyed in this novel written by Minka. Not my thing.
I think the narrators did a great job. I love it when there are many individuals telling the story. This was my second Jodi Picoult and I enjoy her writing.
