I'm still reading Viral Nation, but I really needed an audiobook to listen to while working around the house over the July 4th holiday. I thought it might be a great time to start The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman.
Neil Gaiman is the narrator for the audiobook. The first thing I noticed was how fast he narrates. I love that! Slow narrators drive me batty. The second thing I noticed was simply how lovely it is to listen to Neil Gaiman. Midnyte Reader mentioned that just the other day in one of her BEA recap posts. This book could suck, and it's possible I wouldn't even notice. I think this book is actually really good so far, but I'm afraid I might be easily hypnotized.
What are you reading this week? Be sure to let me know or leave me link!

I am glad you are enjoying your Gaiman audiobook. My Monday Report is here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThanks. :) Happy reading to you, Kathy!
DeleteI'm convinced. I want to listen to The Ocean at the End of the Lane. =)
ReplyDeleteHaha. I hope you find it as lovely as I do.
DeleteI've hear Neil Gaiman was a great narrator! Can't wait to listen to that one!
ReplyDeleteThe Ocean at the End of the Lane is a book I hope to delve in to in the future, but I'd prefer it to be in paperback. I'm just not an audiobook kind of girl. Glad you are enjoying it :-)

I totally understand. I'm sure this one is great in paper, too.
DeleteI've heard wonderful things about that new Gaiman, I hope you love it! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteYay! Maybe I'm not hypnotized after all. :) Thanks!
DeleteViral Nation looks good; I love dystopian themed books. Added to my list. Neil Gaiman, well, I have seen his name all over reviews for years--maybe this is the book of his I will start with. Thanks for sharing, and have a good week reading.
ReplyDeleteI'm not qualified to make Neil Gaiman suggestions. I'm pretty much a newbie, too. I hope you enjoy Viral Nation!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read my copy yet! I need to. I loved Good Omens - I would recommend that if anyone asked for suggestions.
ReplyDeleteOh, nice! I haven't read that one. I think I own it, though. Hehe.
DeleteI'd like to read The Ocean at the End of the Lane
ReplyDeleteWishing you a great reading week

Oh, but I loved The Ocean at the End of the Lane. Planning to listen to it also, but later when I can love it all over again. Listening to Gaiman read The Graveyard Book was mesmerizing--I listened to it in the car and missed my exit.
