I have to continue them in audiobook form because the narrator's voice is an ingrained part of the story.<br /><br />Camillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10422449200792287901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245036.post-76172708908578671342012-09-28T12:40:14.223-05:002012-09-28T12:40:14.223-05:00That is what makes a great book- one you can revis...That is what makes a great book- one you can revisit over and over and every time see something new. J.K. Rowling has become an author that can resonate through the generations, and I only hope I have a fraction of her amazing talent.

Usually my mom read out loud to us, but Jim Dale's reading was so excellent, and so delightfully terrifying, that she decided to take a break from the reading. As we listened it grew dark outside and finally it was completely black in the house, just as we reached the scariest part of the book!

I don't think I have listened to the last two, though....sad. I will have to remedy that. I have a special connection with these books. I used to listen to them (at the time only 5 were out) with my father-in-law when he was sick. It was wonderful to read the final two books (both released after his passing) and know that most of his theories were accurate. It has made them that much more intense for me. The audios (and Mr. Dale's voices) will always hold a special place in my heart. I do think these will definitely stand the test of time.

Hard to justify the time, but I have been considering listening to the audiobooks. Thanks for the nudge!

That is the type of question I have about all of the books that are so heavily hyped - will the stories hold up?<br /><br />What a delight that these have.<br /><br />I am getting ready to do a Diana Wynne Jones reread... and looking forward to the joy of Chrestomanci all over again.tanita✿davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671822274852087499noreply@blogger.com
