Title: Audiobook: Inkspell
Review: The book is great, no mistake about it. Inkheart's audiobook was so wonderful that perhaps there's no way Brendan Fraser could possibly live up to the standard set. That said, however, his voice was flat in narration, and his voices for the characters were cheesily accented so that Farid sounded Russian (or ?) and Dustfinger had a vaguely Celtic accent, which was distracting to the story. My daughter and I also found that he lacked any subtley or depth of emotion--so that, for example, his reading of Fenolio's angst came off as merely surly. I'm glad to see that Fraser wasn't booked for the third installment, and immensly disappointed that he will play Mo in the movie . . . But more to the point, I'm really sorry I bougth this audiobook version of Inkspell. Read the book. You'll be much happier!
