Title: The Mermaids Chair Audio download
Review: This review is about the audio book narrated by Eliza Voss. I both read and listened to "Secret Life of Bees" and enjoyed both. I have not yet read Mermaid's Chair but did listen to it narrated by Eliza Voss. I would not recommend the audio book at all. I felt that either Kidd decided to write a terrible book for a change or the narrator didn't do a good job in interpreting the writting. I found myself trying to imagine the words without the voice just to give Kidd the benefit of the doubt. If I had only experienced Kidd through this format I would write her off as a bestselling beach book writer. When I have the time I may try the actual book but I'm afraid the sing-songy perky dialogue will still be yammering in my head. I apologize to the narrator for being so harsh, it probably just wasn't the right fit.
Is the review positive or negative?
