It wasn't lo...I agree with most of the review.<br /><br />It wasn't long before I was googling the name of the voice actress who plays Marge Simpson. Was truly surprised to find that it wasn't her reading this book. It really stays with you. Having said that, you can settle into it easily enough. <br /><br />Nick Podehl and Kate Rudd are great readers. NP's reading was just perfect. That *is* Jack's voice in my mind now. And KR is superb, as ever. Her lively intonation breathes extra life into Via's character - I think she was perfect for this part.<br /><br />The audio glitches you noticed weren't the fault of your system - I could hear them too. The "zero interstitial space" was particularly noticeable, and sounded like my phone/MP3 player had received a jolt of interference. I noticed other occasional digital artifacts too, in the last 1/4 of the recording. Likely a fault in the recording process.<br /><br />Not enough to spoil anything - but it should definitely be discounted - especially as the download (with heavy DRM restrictions) is more expensive than the CD.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08024663613497202858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8141433271501351298.post-64832144123240196082013-06-19T22:24:09.325-07:002013-06-19T22:24:09.325-07:00I've heard great things about the Dresden File...I've heard great things about the Dresden Files books and James Marsters narration.

I've heard so much about them from you. <br /><br />I've been having trouble getting reviews written since my job changed. I pretty much figured out (but am still coming to terms with the fact) that my study for this PMP exam will consume any and all spare time I will have until I pass it. Hopefully that will be on or before the end of July. I won't be very present anywhere until then. As much as I mourn the thought. I wonder how I'll feel coming on the other side. It will make for an interesting experiment.<br /><br />I think that blogging for events is a great idea. It allows you to participate when you'd like and doesn't require the day to day things that can feel like a hassle. It frees you up for your hikes and riding your new bike.

Time after time Lily kept making the same sort of mistakes, letting the feelings of being flush or in deep need of money veer off the path she'd been traveling. Had the woman made a decision and stuck with it - and I don't care which man this decision favored - I could have felt something more for Lily. I kept my guard up the entire time. That doesn't mean I didn't like the book. It had some interesting insights. I just wish Lily had been more accessible.
