Once again, the time has come for me to review a book that I wrote. Once again, for the benefit of those who have accused me of "looking like I eat meth for breakfast" and of being a "f*****g parody of a male writer" for being so bold as to review and give my books a five star rating, I will state, for the record, this review has nothing to do with the content held between the covers.
No, this review, yet again, is for the audiobook version, and my incomparable narrator, Jenn Johnson.
Jenn dives into these ten stories, and literally becomes, not the narrator, not even the storyteller, but the living embodiment of the stories. I have no idea how she does it, but she adds an indefinable quality through her voice that raises these stories to heights I could never accomplish with my words.
Jenn's absolutely incredible, and a wonderful person as well.
Oh, and you get to hear my sweet-as-salt voice on the story notes for each one...or you can skip those and avoid the inevitable headache.
I should also point out that, even if you're reading this a couple of years down the line, I have free promo codes for anyone who wants to give this a listen in exchange for an honest (no, not a glowing one, but an honest) review.
