I didn't like the book when I read it, and apparently the audiobook is no better. I'm mailing this to narfinmagic, I hope you enjoy it more than I did!

I have to agree with appaloosatb on this one. I really tried to like the book and the audio tapes but they did nothing for me. I think I tolerated the book better as I actually finished it. I gave up on these audios by tape 7. I'm hoping the next person will enjoy it more than I did. It is now available for others to enjoy.

Recv'd the CDs in the mail today. Thanks! Not sure how soon I'll be able to get to this but hopefully before too long. In the meantime, it's on Mt TBR... uh, I mean Mt TBH (To Be Heard).

I'm having such a hard time finding time for anything audio format at this point. Another generous BCer is sending me the ink-on-paper version of this book, so this one is being put up for RABCK.

This audio copy is reserved for Erishkigal, winner of the drawing.

rec'd as a rabck from saidenuj--yay! I loved the book (my copy is currently travelling the world in a ring)and am really looking forward to listening to it on a long car trip. if I can get my s-i-l to burn these disks for me, I'll get it/them started out as a ray to the others who entered the drawing....that way they won't have to wait so long. Thank you!!!!

due to circumstances totally out of my control, my trip to Arizona was postponed for about 5 1/2 months....but I finally went, a 20 hour drive each way, much of which not only doesn't pick up NPR, but doesn't pick up *any* radio. Perfect for listening to my very first audio book. Which I absolutely loved!! Granted, I had already read the book, and loved that:)

I was amazed when the cds arrived--15 of them! "Wicked", in entirety. The reader was quite good, tho there were some places I felt he had the emphasis wrong (I've done a lot of oral interp), and frankly, I would have preferred a woman reader--it probably took me through the first cd to get over being annoyed that a male voice was reading. still, it was grand being read to on a long long drive, and a book that I really enjoyed. Definately going to have to search out other audiobooks for these long trips. (I still can't imagine listening to them in 5-10 minute spurts about town.)

I'll pm others who entered the draw for this/these and send it(them) on--Ray it Forward.

Thanks again, saidenuj !!

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

Oh, wow, this book has been here an incredibly long time! I do remember pming a couple of people, with no responses, and the book just sat on the shelf waiting...and waiting....and have book books stacked on the front part of the shelf....and being forgotten....
Poor book! But I've been making a major effort to get books moved out of the house, and when they're not all stacked three deep, it's amazing what begins to surface;P

It is fun rereading journals from so long ago~and realizing this was my first audio. Now I have them going around town as well as for long trips. But some work better than others for short-jaunt listening, and Wicked is a long-trip book. And I have since read and 'read' several other Maguire books, all but one of which I really enjoyed. But his style, his 'voice', is unique, and each time I pick up one of his books, it takes me awhile to settle into it. I think it's that 'voice' that makes him a love him or hate him kinda author.

Hopefully there will be a "Love him!" participant on down the line for booklady331's CD Only audio bookbox! Happy Listening!!
