Title: Audio Version Only!
Review: Please keep in mind as you read this review I am referring to the audio version only, not to the book itself. I really enjoyed the book. The audio production however, was pretty awful. Not so much the abridgement of the text, but the voice! Judith Ivey may be a Tony Award winner, but that doesn't necessarily make her fit to do audio book readings. I would much prefer to have a reader use the same voice for all characters and narration as opposed to having someone vary their speech and accent, with disasterous results. I listen to audio tapes while in the bath, and this one was so awful that I had to get out of the tub and drip water all over the bathroom floor in order to turn it off so that I could have a relaxing bath. Please, read the book, but steer clear of the audio production!
