I have left a detailed review (including plot, character development, flow etc) of the hard copy version of “Pilgrims”, which is a phenomenal book based on a truly original premise. If you haven’t read the book, please read this truly fantastic book. The audiobook, however, takes the story to another level. It is in a word, amazing. For those unfamiliar, Jeff Hays of Soundbooth Theater has changed the landscape of audiobooks. As opposed to being
narrated by one person in a relatively straightforward way, Jeff Hays essentially performs the book, adding in just the right amount of foley sound effects, background music and dramatization. While listening to Pilgrims, I could visualize the action, the characters, their personalities, their affects, their movements, even their facial expressions while listening to this audiobook. I feel like I watched a live theater performance of Pilgrims. And truly, what a performance! Even if you have read Pilgrims before, I recommend you listen to the audiobook. It is nothing short of perfection. Bravo!
