She's a good reader, it's just personal preference on my part. It doesn't take away from the story, and as stated, she got the other two down pat. The girl reading does a good job in voicing Edith's character, as well as Lucille's, but I wasn't entirely fond of the way she voiced Thomas. The narrative also does a fantastic job of painting the scene for the reader. I enjoyed the movie, and in book format, it offers more perspective, insight as to what the characters are thinking as the events unfold. Where does Crimson Peak rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far? His second novel, the 1988 “Foucault’s Pendulum,” a byzantine tale of plotting publishers and secret sects also styled as a thriller, was successful, too -though it was so complicated that an annotated guide accompanied it to help the reader follow the plot. But Eco talked about his inspiration with characteristic irony: “I began writing … prodded by a seminal idea: I felt like poisoning a monk.” “The Name of the Rose” sold millions of copies, a feat for a narrative filled with partially translated Latin quotes and puzzling musings on the nature of symbols. “The Name of the Rose” transformed him from academic to international celebrity, especially after the medieval thriller set in a monastery was made into a film starring Sean Connery in 1986.

From the first book I read, Frayed Silk, until her latest release, Pretty Venom, I have loved everything about her writing style and storytelling.
