Christopher and I were thrilled. No, that's understatement. The narrator, Greg Whalen did a terrific job with all 104 speaking characters. How does he come up with so many voices? I have no idea. The thing is, he got it right. The voices in my head somehow turned out to be the voices he spoke. Looking for something new to listen to? Click the link above or the link in my sidebar. If you'd like to hear a sample, click below:
* To be fair to Ms. Portman, Hayden Christensen shared the worst dialog in cinematic history! "I love you." "No, I love you more." Blech! Eaccchh! Hack! Cough! Of course, it was Lucas who presumably wrote the dialogue. And to be fair, Revenge of the Sith was actually the best of the Star Wars prequels. At least Jar Jar Binks didn't have a staring role. 'Nuff said.

I admit, I was a bit apprehensive when I clicked on the link. A lot of other audiobook readers sound bland and tasteless. But wow! Greg Whalen's voice has a lot more character than some of the other audiobook readers I've heard. Sounds amazing! It actually sounds like he's ENJOYING reading the book aloud, a quality hard to find in audiobooks.
I wish I had enough money to buy it. :D If it comes to my library, then my sister is sure to get it; she's an audiobook person. :D
Thanks for sharing!
I want it!!!!! I loved the book and i've always been a fan of audio books!!!! God bless you
Coolness :) I've yet to listen to an audio book all the way through lol. This is pretty cool :)
ooohhh!! i can't wait to hear it!!!!
By the way I agree about Natalie Portman in that role.
Elizabeth:)
Never Alone!!
I agree with you on the star wars prequels! :P
As for the voice on the audio, it sounds great! The voice actor is very talented with the different voices in the sample I played. :)
Not bad I liked it ^-^
and I agree with the star wars thing.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!! *is ecstatic and immediately hits link*
That's so great, Mr. Batson!
The only thing I'm not so fond of in autiobooks is when women are played by men. If you listen to the audiobooks of Chuck Black's Kingdom Series, they're read by a man unless a woman is speaking. They're by far my favorite audiobooks, but this one already sounds pretty good.
~Never Alone~
