Pawn of Prophecy

This was my first experience with an audio book. I chose this book because the author, David Eddings, is one of my favorites. It takes a lot to get used to, though. I have the hard back books and have read them so many times that the covers are worn and some pages have become loose from the bindings. With an audio book, having it narrated for me, I find that many of the names of characters and places are pronounced very differently than how I perceived them in my mind. I have only tried the sample, but that is going to take a lot to get used to if I decide to continue with a purchase.

I have read these books over and over. . I fell in love with all these books in high school and continue to read them to this day. . . I thought I could buy it as an ebook to have it readily available at any time, but it does not seem so... I tried the audio. However, it's not as satisfying as when I read it myself and come up with voices for each character myself. . . oh, to have these books made into a movie would be so great, but then again, the books are always so much better than the movies. I guess I will just have to roam the remaining old bookstores to get my entire collection of david and Leigh Eddings books.

Brian Wiggins is an excellent narrator. He knows how to say the names, and doesn't sound like a machine. He gives life to each character, and makes you feel like you're watching a movie!
