![]() ![]() I could visualise a character simply by the cadence of her delivery. It's very hard to choose a character, as Adjoa Andoh breathed life into each person. Which character – as performed by Adjoa Andoh – was your favourite? I couldn't wait to hear the next download! A completely different kettle of fish with regards to setting, but the wonderful performance by Johanna Harris is a good comparison, as both narrators drew me into the stories with their distinctive voice acting and characterisations. The other series of audiobooks I purchased were the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris, narrated by Johanna Parker. What other book might you compare Tears of the Giraffe to, and why? I'm looking forward to purchasing the entire series as soon as feasible! After I'd heard the first of this audiobook series, I immediately purchased the next two - and they continued to maintain the excellent production qualities of the first. A wonderful addition to my audiobook library. Adjoa Andoh's reading of them is flawless: the accents, the tones of each character are well-modulated and distinctive her performance is simply brilliant. The audiobooks do not let me down, despite being abridged. ![]() I read every paperback of the Precious Ramotswe series as soon as it was released. Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? ![]() ![]() Adored the paperbacks, loved the audiobooks! ![]()

There are a few chuckles in here, but you won't identify with them. ![]() If you're a college kid that likes jokes about Hot Pockets, you might be able to skip this one. I know that seems obvious, but if you aren't a dad, or aren't thinking of becoming a dad, then you might not really like this book. The book is really great, but I feel like there are a couple of things Gaffigan fans should know before they start listening/reading: 1 - This is a book about being a dad. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? ![]() What about Jim Gaffigan’s performance did you like? This sounds a lot like his stand-up, but at times, it's pretty obvious that he's trying to read word-for-word. ![]() I haven't listened to a book, but I've listened to his stand-up. If you’ve listened to books by Jim Gaffigan before, how does this one compare? I would have been reading in his voice anyway, so why not cut out the middleman? ![]() Gaffigan edits a lot of the passages to be unique to the audio book, and his voices are a big part of his standup routine. Would you consider the audio edition of Dad Is Fat to be better than the print version? Good for Gaffigan fans - better for expecting dads ![]() |
