Any additional comments?

Loved this book! Loved the Irish narrator! But- the narration was so fast I could hardly keep up! It wasn't bc she was Irish that I had trouble, her diction was very clear and understandable. But the speed of the audio sounded like it had been sped up synthetically, not like someone talking too fast. I even employed the option on my audible app to slow the speed but all that did was put a break in the middle of each word which sounded messed up and wasn't something I could listen to long term. After a long period of listening I would sometimes feel exhausted! But the book was worth it, just hope her next one doesn't sound as if it was mixed by someone on stimulants!

A Rare Find... Ms. Coffey's narration was solid.

Seldom have I believed in an audible rendition (of a book I'd normally read) because the narrator isn't authentic. Listening was effortless, and truly like I was physically in Ireland. I quite forgot myself at times. I'm glad I took a chance on this version; Celelia's stories are each so wonderfully brilliant- this being no exception.
A winner!

Heartwarming...

Would you try another book from Cecelia Ahern and/or Ali Coffey?

Of course. Cecelia Ahearn writes thought provoking and heartwarming books. I highly recommend "Time of Your Life"

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

The ending was a bit abrupt... I felt like there was a huge build up with not much conclusion.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

Her Irish accent is soothing and pleasing to the ear.

Could you see The Book of Tomorrow being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Possibly...

Beach read

I found the use of foul language from Tamara excessive and unnecessary. None of the reviews I read mentioned it. The narrator did a great job and it was a fine beach read. Guess I was expecting more.

Better than expected

This was a neat little book that far surpassed my expectations. It was fun & quirky but logical about it and the characters were dynamic. Kind of a Neil Gaiman-esque.
