Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Definitely. I liked this book, a LOT. I was worried at first because I’d committed to reviewing it and I was all “Oh, what if I don’t like it? What’s a polite way of saying good job but it sucks?!” Turns out I didn’t have to figure out a way to be diplomatic. “Treasure” totally doesn’t suck. It’s a great story. Love the main characters, adore the villagers and the villain is a total douche. Actually, he’s kind of scary/creepy. It works.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Julian. He’s a sweetie pie. I really enjoyed watching him learn and grow, experience life and love.
What about Joel Leslie’s performance did you like?
A good book can be completely ruined by an, um, less than stellar narrator. No worries here. Joel Leslie does an awesome job. Great reader. Really brought the different characters to life. I’m definitely going to be checking on his other narrations.
If you could rename Treasure, what would you call it?
Hmm, I think, “The Fledgling”. A reference to him being kicked out of his safe, stifling nest and going out on his own to learn life and make it on his own. Although I’m sure his parents didn’t expect things to turn out as they did.
Any additional comments?
I will definitely be checking out more books by this author and reader. It was a very good experience.
