Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
No. It was a wonderful story, which the author told well. It was ruined by sub-par narration.
Who was your favorite character and why?
I have to go with the principal. Everything got dumped on him, one disaster after another, one tragedy after another, and he carried on like a professional.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
The narrator has two basic voices. One is a “Cali surfer dude” and the other is a “prissy flaming queen”. That’s it. He doesn’t even try to make characters stay consistent. Whoever is the focus of that scene gets the queen, while the other(s) get the surfer dude. Even if they were the queen just a minute earlier. I only managed to get through it by imagining Xandir from Drawn Together was doing the narration. If the narrator had even the slightest actual range, I would have enjoyed it more. Unfortunately, that’s just not the case.
Was Foxe Tail worth the listening time?
No.
Any additional comments?
I loved the *story* but loathed the narration. I understand there are at least five more books in the series. I am very interested in the characters and continuing their story, so I’ll be buying the ebook version.
