I was surprised when I first began the audio book. I am new to audio books and wasn’t sure if I would enjoy it as much as I enjoyed the paperback. However, I was pleasantly surprised and was really captured by all the voices used in the story (what talent, to change accents so often and quickly!). I’m impressed. Well done!
Carthage, of course, was my favorite accent, but I have to say that Huxley was actually the voice that I was impressed by the the most. The narrator cleverly gives him his own unique inflection and phrasing, which I think is really hard to do in your “own” accent.
This is such a clever story, and it moves quickly so there’s never a dull second. The world is created with care and precision, it has a familiar sense to it, but it’s all new and wonderful. The characters’ goals are well defined and the ending is… sensational. 😉 I can’t wait for more adventures with these two boys!
