Musing Mondays hosted by Should Be Reading has sort of expanded their format with lots of choices to blog about. So, I am going to go with it. I have developed a new "reading" habit -- audio books -- which I blogged about previously. I thoroughly enjoyed the first book so I went out and acquired another by the same author, "Pawley's Island" . I am currently listening to it on my daily commute and I am enjoying it as well except.....
The first novel was ready by actress Robin Miles and was completely enjoyable. The second is being read by the author and I have to say it is not the same experience. Oh, it is a wonderful, engaging book and Dorothea Benton Frank is a very talented author but....
Not such a great reader.
She is adequate and I am enjoying the book but I am wondering how it would be with another reader. When I purchased the cd's, I was raving to the salesman about the first book and how I really enjoyed it and he said, yes, but it depends on the reader. I now know what he means.
However, I am really enjoying this author and will continue to enjoy her books whether they are in printed form or audio. I recommend her highly.

Oh yes, the reader makes a world of difference. We've had to get rid of one set of audio books because the reader was so bad!
