Breaking Dawn - spoken text

Advantages: easy to listen to, great story
Disadvantages: none

...heard, and very enjoyable. Breaking Dawn is the adult of the saga, being the final book it begins with the marriage of Bella and Edward, goes on to describe their honeymoon and the realization that Bella becomes pregnant. It then goes on to detail her transformation and the upcoming conflict between the Cullens and the 'royal' Volturi. Stephanie Mayer has written a masterpiece for teenage fiction and the audio books really do it justice. I enjoy ...
...sit next to a blinding bedside lamp, it's more relaxing and enjoyable. It's a little bit less distracting to because you can plug in your headphones and just listen away. The speaker describes the story in a steady rhythem being dramatic and effective in all the right places. I would recomend this product to any one that doesn't like reading because they're truly missing out and shouldn't have to wait until the film is realesed. ...

Review of Breaking Dawn - Stephenie Meyer

The best Kids book ever!

Advantages: It'll be quicker than reading Harry Potter
Disadvantages: you'll try out some of they're hair brained tricks yourself!

...Have a little read of the plot: "Have there ever been two more wretched people than Mr. and Mrs. Twit? They're not just horrible, they're extra-specially horrible. Mr. Twit has a beard that houses every bit of moldy food that nearly made it to his mouth. Mrs. Twit has a glass eye which she likes to pop in her husband's beer, saying, "I've got eyes everywhere so you'd better be careful." But Mr. Twit can play tricks on his wife that are just as clever ...

Review of The Twits - Roald Dahl

Good as the BBCgets

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...who also loves it. The BBC really does produce great quality products. As a kid you are always unforgiving, especially of the adaptation of a beloved book, thankfully this does not fall short. After the movies the interest in the book has risen, there is nothing that replaces the book experience but for anyone who can't cope with reading this format allows you to use your imagination, Frodo looks differant to ever reader, as do the Orcs or the wizards ...

Review of Great Expectations (Audio Book) - Charles Dickens, Hugh Laurie (Narrator)

A talking book that has to be listened to

Advantages: Great story, very well narrated
Disadvantages: No pictures supplied with the package unlike the book

...you won't switch it off, the story takes the listener from his school days with the conflicts with his father regarding his eductaion to his first steps as a disc jockey. He takes us through his period with Radio Caroline & the early days with BBC Radio One until the mid 1970s. His free spirit attitude & love of good music takes him to America with his family, as you wait for the story to unfold on how successful he became there you quickly realise ...
...his return to the UK his story plunges into his battle with cancer, here his wife takes up the story & only a hard hearted person could not feel emotional on the battle he had. Just a pity that the CD talking book doesn't come with the pictures that are supplied with the paper book version. A great story about one of the best DJ's in the business. ...
