And, that "<i>...seal line at the end of TMR</i>" will be among them. I'll take any requests for any book in the series.

First I have ...O.k., I'm playing catch-up here. First I have to note that it made me smile to see your present audio book. George is my favorite narrator! LOL<br /><br />I would criticize all of these readers for their female voices in a review. Did I mention that in my Monkey's Raincoat with Roberts narrating? I can't remember. I know I mentioned his voice for Joe...<br /><br />But, I would say I preferred Daniels' voice for Elvis of the three. <br /><br />Naomi, that was my first reaction when I first heard Roberts for Elvis. Wasn't how I imagined Elvis, but when he gets into the really sarcastic funny lines, it is an absolute hoot! I just will never forget the sound of him doing the seal line at the end of TMR. Oh, priceless! And I also think that Roberts picks up on subtle things in Elvis' character better than the other readers. That's what I liked best. He interpreted Elvis closer to what I imagined Elvis' personality to be...does that make a lick of sense to anyone?Jen Forbushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13325129568512353951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3469856753989183551.post-84020024467804142922010-02-10T19:38:30.722-08:002010-02-10T19:38:30.722-08:00James Daniels has a fine voice for this. And, ther...James Daniels has a fine voice for this. And, there are audiobooks in the U.S. line I really, really wish he would have had the chance to narrate [and they're coming up ;-)]. Though, I don't know if we'll hear him again with any new books. The last I heard, he passed the bar and is now a practicing attorney. He came back to do <i>Chasing Darkness</i> because of RC and the series. But, as you know, he didn't come back to do the last one. I always appreciate your thoughts, Naomi.

Roberts is fine as a reader, but I just like a slightly deeper, less nasal voice for Elvis.Naomi Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08005429772070247806noreply@blogger.com
