Wonderland

De: Jude Ouvrard

Narrado por: Nathan Huddleston

Lucas Colton is far too young to go through all this pain, but meeting poetry teacher Preston Davidson changed everything. His life went from heartbreak to joyful and then from friendship to love. The impact Preston had on Lucas's life was mesmerizing. What would you do if you knew you may not have a tomorrow?

It's a gay romance short story with a bit of poetry and plenty of different emotions.

Sad but lovely

A sweet and sad short story of love and loss. The writing wasn’t bad. The narrator was appropriately emotive at times and at other times sounded like he was cold reading. Rather halting and strange. Would’ve enjoyed more with better narration but the story itself was sweet.

Wow.

This book floored me. It was so emotional, which is not my favorite(I hate it when they make me cry) But this book is so good.A true love story. Definitely worth the time to read. #AudiobookObsessionReviewer

OMG!

What made the experience of listening to Wonderland the most enjoyable?

You got to hear the emotions behind the characters.

What other book might you compare Wonderland to and why?

I can't compare it to another book because in this book your emotions is all over the places. Its one of those books that give you a good hard crying session.

Have you listened to any of Nathan Huddleston’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No I haven't listened to any of his other audio books.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

It was when Lucas wrote his poem about him dying.

Any additional comments?

OMG! I volunteered to review the audio version of this story. I love to read Jude's stories. This is not like her other books. In this story your emotions will be allover. It had me crying within the first two chapters. This story is about Luacs and Preston. This is a quick and is easy to read. You will need to have a box of tissus handy. I highly recommend reading this one. Theres a lot that I can say about this one, but I feel that it will most likely give away too much about the story. I find it will be better for you to read it urself. I will be in awe throughout the whole story. I can't wait to read your next book. Keep up the amazing work Jude!

A Profound Love Story

I've never listened to Nathan Huddleston, but his voice was PERFECT for this story!

The final scene brought me to tears

Any additional comments?

Lucas Colton had a bad breakup with his significant other, back in Boston. Cast out by his parents for being gay, he moves to New York to live with his brother, Julian. Lucas enrolls in a poetry class and upon reading one of his poems to the class, his professor Preston Davidson realizes the talent this young man has. After class, Preston asks Lucas to stay and they strike up a conversation, which leads to having coffee and a developing friendship. A friendship that runs deeper and evolves into the two falling in love. Unconditional love, not laced with sex, but of compassion.
Ms. Ourvrad has written a poignant tale about a man who has a terminal illness and is seeking love and acceptance before he dies. While this is a tale about two gay men, it could easily be about a heterosexual couple. There is no sex in the story - rather a tale of acceptance and true love. So eloquently written, I would recommend this to everyone. Nathan Huddleston's voice was perfect for the character and he did a superb job displaying the emotions of a man who's time in limited and resolves to make the most of every minute. Have a box of tissues at hand...this is a tear jerker...

Loved this story

What a sad story! I really enjoyed the story. And I liked the narrators voice but thought it sounded like maybe he should have read through it beforehand. Parts of it sounded a bit stilted.
