Muchacho by LouAnne JohnsonI started the audio book and was disappointed in the quality of narration. The writing style did not lend itself to an audio format and the voice quality left much to be desired. I skipped to the last disc so I could hear the ending.
Ready Player One by Ernest ClineI listened to the audio for this book and it was amazing! Thank you Wil Wheaton. There were slow parts (aren't there always?), but the majority of it was a rush of plot and engaging 1980s game culture trivia. It was a fantastic book to listen to on the way to work.
For this challenge, I decided to read kThe Darkest Part of the Forest by Holly Black. It was amazing! I grew up with an intense love of fairies, however mine were the mystical pretty ones (think tinker bell and her books/movies). Black takes you to a place steeped in traditional folklore and violence. As an adult, I love seeing the darker side of what I loved as a child. As for the book, it was amazing. Black has an ability to weave a story that is both beautiful and haunting. In The Darkest Part of the Forest twins Hazel and Ben live in Fairfold, a town living in tumultuous harmony with fairies, elves, and other mystical tricksters. For generations, Fairfold has been home to a sleeping fairy prince, trapped in a coffin harder than diamond but as smooth as glass. Everything changes when the boy wakes and disappears, setting in motion a chain of events that sweep Hazel and Ben into the adventure they've always dreamed of.
Beautifully written and fairly addicting, I would recommend this book a thousand times over.
