I’m in the middle of listening to the audiobook of this and I am in love! When it started, I had doubts, but now, in the midst of it, I am pretty much just in awe of the language and the writing. I think, too, it has to do with Brendan Fraser’s performance, but whatever it is, I can’t even imagine reading this book instead of listening to it. Being a librarian, I love to read and only “found” my love of audiobooks a year ago. Since then, audiobooks have been my constant companion on my commutes and I can’t see myself living without them. However, if I’m listening to a great audiobook and then get home and want to read, I find myself wanting if I don’t have just as good a book that I am reading. So anyway, my point is that I am truly enjoying this audiobook and hopefully, when I finish, I’ll want to buy the book for the school library, though I’m sure I’ll wish I could get an audiobook collection growing and include it in there. :)
