A Monster Calls Audio - I just had to
Warning: listening to this audio while driving is hazardous. I finished this audio this morning while doing errands with my husband. I found that sitting too long at a stop sign can make other drivers angry and driving with blurred vision is a driving hazard, no matter how many times I wiped at my eyes, the tears just kept coming. As I pulled into the garage and shut off my car, my husband looked over at me and stated, “that one was an emotional one, huh?”
After reading this novel, I knew I had to listen to it. I wanted to know if the strength that I felt in the words as I read them, were as powerful and intense as the author intended them to be. As I read the novel about a month ago, I felt at times that I was pounding out each word as I read, the monster and Conor each going at each other at full strength. As I listened to this 4-disc CD set, which was about 4 hours long, I was visualizing everything in the novel that I read. As the monster called out, “Conor!” I smiled as my body got chilled, this was exactly how I imaged it. Read by Jason Isaacs, he really did an outstanding job. I highly recommend this!!
