![]() ![]() ![]() I just couldn't get used to the delivery-it wasn't unique enough to ever make me appreciate the over the top elements or stop rolling my eyes with every metaphor and simile. ![]() The narrator is very good at what she does, the plot had potential but could have been made better with more history woven in. When that voice is reading prose that has a ridiculous amount of figurative language "his blood surged through his veins like a well trained army." "The clouds parted like curtains on a stage." "Wisdom preached from the pulpit of his mind" and my personal favorite "the ball in the gun pressed to his side was begging to be released" This is why I think it is a romantic book-it is very over the top, but it is consistently over the top-whenever something was about to be revealed, at the last minute, someone walks in or something happens that delays the reveal. What made me want to occasionally stick a fork in my ear is the voice she used when she was narrating when not in character-she speaks verrrrrrry slowly in a low, whispery voice and manages to enunciate the last consonant of every single word. The narrator is very skilled-I really liked the various, distinct characters-she is good. As is my custom, if I could ask Amber one question about. It came thisclose to being an okay book to listen to while you are doing monotonous work when you aren't really focused on the story. Today I am reviewing Amber Lynn Perrys book, So Rare A Gift. I think I would classify this as a romantic novel-not necessarily a ROMANCE. ![]()
