Yes Sea Wife was wonderful. And now I’m listening to Migrations on audio and liking that one too. (Another boat excursion!). Amazing you are trying the Obama book on audio – wow. Hope you have a wonderful December.

I’ve liked all the other Maggie O’Farrell books I’ve read. It may have been the audio, but I usually do very well with audiobooks. For me there just wasn’t much to it. That’s the beauty of books….different books work for different people.

I’m listening at 1.1x speed and couldn’t go any faster without losing some of the essence of who he is. It’s definitely a book to savor.

Glad to hear I’m not alone!

It is really long. I may take a break soon and listen to something else, and then go back to it.

The Edge is one that I haven’t seen around much, so it will be interesting to hear what others think.

I’m almost done and have really liked it!

I’m enjoying it, but he can be a little long-winded. I think in the end, I’m going to prefer Becoming.

I think, for me, that I do better with a paper book when it comes to great writing and audiobooks are more enjoyable for story/character. Maggie O’Farrell writes a beautiful sentence which I pay less attention to when I am listening. Although I bet the narrator would be fun for that tale of old England.

I’m also listening to Obama’s book, and unlike most others, I’m savoring it and listening to it at 1x speed.
