the forgotten beasts of eld by patricia a mckillip

I do not have too many complaints about the narrator. I’ve always found it to be a wonderful and thoughtful story about love and hate and how each can change you. I have no complaints about the story or writing. I hope you do! Thank you Audible, after years of checking in for FBE here it is!

I had to repeat several of the sections and make myself focus. Yes I made it rather distracting for myself. Pearlman to myself with visions of what she must look like speaking this 'epoch' into the mike. By the end of the book I realized I had been mocking Ms. The protagonist's immature, judgmental and naive quality gets covered up with this type of narration. Although she has a very nice clear voice and the audio quality is terrific, her voice slowly seemed to morph into employing a overly dramatic - precariously close to melodramatic- presence. I withheld the fifth star because by the second or third chapter I felt this emphatic quality creeping in, the narrator was wearing on me. Listening to it on audible has been so much fun I finished it listening continuously to the end. They were: To Kill A Mockingbird Fahrenheit 451 Crime and Punishment and The Forgotten Beasts of Eld. I'd guess around the ages of 14-16, there where only four books that were enormous enough in their impact then to actually stop me in my tracks. I was one of those kids that read everything, I mean everything, I read fast, furious, and obsessively. It impacted the way I thought from that point on, I loved the flawed characters and the story line also. Wecome, welcome, Patricia Mckillip! I was blown away with the mind altering creativity in FBE when I first read it while still in school. Sooooooo thrilled to have it (finally) at Audible
