I can recall Brian and I having an immediate reaction to the reader which was very similar to how I felt when I listened to your Lawlor clip.<br /><br />Looking forward to your Stalking the Angel post!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17404052490491044727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469856753989183551.post-37959877305869227202010-02-01T09:45:51.915-08:002010-02-01T09:45:51.915-08:00Christine: thanks for giving the clips another run...Christine: thanks for giving the clips another run. Now that you've heard all three, do you recall which it was on that second audiobook you didn't like on that road trip?<br /><br />Jen: I knew you were familiar with Roberts ;-). I also agree with you about having an apprehension about an author reading his own work. But, I'm now looking forward to giving RC a go with this. Listening to him read THE FIRST RULE passages at the recent book tour stops did that because of his voice for Joe (and with the character of Stone).<br /><br />I'll have Stalking the Angel ready and out later this week.<br /><br />Thank you very much, my friends.le0pard13https://www.blogger.com/profile/09421175808461787862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469856753989183551.post-23648433501494451352010-02-01T09:34:49.482-08:002010-02-01T09:34:49.482-08:00Oh lord, who was involved of the choice of Lawlor?...Oh lord, who was involved of the choice of Lawlor? Yee gads. I was lucky enough to hear the Roberts' version and it's great. At first I wasn't sure, but the more I listened the more I liked it, and by the end I loved it. <br /><br />Overall, though, I've never heard anyone I like for Joe as much as I liked RC when I listened to him read the role. So, while I'm always apprehensive about an author reading his own work, I'm looking forward to listening to THE FIRST RULE to see if RC keeps that Joe voice consistent and strong throughout.<br /><br />This was so fun, lp13!

And, y...All fixed! All three worked like a dream!<br /><br />And, yeah, I wholeheartedly agree that Lawlor's was awful, even before I had Roberts' to compare it too.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17404052490491044727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469856753989183551.post-85547804146833636772010-02-01T09:15:57.644-08:002010-02-01T09:15:57.644-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17404052490491044727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469856753989183551.post-21759277262133240082010-02-01T07:39:50.245-08:002010-02-01T07:39:50.245-08:00Thanks for that recollection, Christine.

Please give all three a go and let me know if they work for you. I appreciate you letting me know about this.le0pard13https://www.blogger.com/profile/09421175808461787862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469856753989183551.post-65055566179326355772010-02-01T07:07:24.751-08:002010-02-01T07:07:24.751-08:00I can recall on one of our roadtrips, we had a cou...I can recall on one of our roadtrips, we had a couple Elvis Cole audiobooks. I remember it took us a bit to get over the fact that it was different reader for the second and that we didn't like him as much as the first reader. But Crais' writing kept us from turning it off, and we got over it. ;-) There have been one or two books from other authors that I have turned off because I couldn't handle the reader's interpretation. <br /><br />Thanks for this, lp13! Oh btw, for some reason the audioclips wouldn't play for me.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17404052490491044727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469856753989183551.post-43243507239134076972010-01-31T17:33:56.763-08:002010-01-31T17:33:56.763-08:00Thank you, Bev.

(I fall asleep) One I have really listened to was A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson...laughed my head off! <br />When I order audios for the library I like the unabridged and I do check who is doing the reading since that is very important for the listener.<br />I have read some of the Elvis Cole series...time to read another one!<br />Great post!Bevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09307023632234305929noreply@blogger.com
