What did you love best about Look Again?
I love books about Navy SEALs meeting their strong counterpart and you add in a service dog and you have a great combination. The fact that proceeds from the sale will be donated to this nonprofit organization: Hero Dogs made the book more enjoyable for me. The fact that Tyler has a disability and overcomes it, shows that people need to realize that some disabilities can become a just smaller description in a person’s life story…not the entire theme of it. I loved this story.
What other book might you compare Look Again to and why?
Marliss Melton’s Navy SEALs books are reminiscent of Suzanne Brockmann’s Navy SEALs book. Both authors are favorites of mine!
What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
This book is the first audio book I have ever listened to. I have to say that I did not enjoy it as much as I enjoyed reading it. I read the Kindle version when the book was first released. Having already read the book, I already had a “vision” of how Tyler Rexall and Katie Crowley were. After all, Tyler is a Navy SEAL (an alpha…”the only easy day was yesterday”) and Katie is a dog trainer (where the trainer is always the alpha of the pack…having trained dogs for years, I know this for a fact). However,the reader’s voice did not lend to the characters’ personality. I felt that Tyler came off more weakly than I had envisioned him to be and the reader’s falsetto, breathless voice for Katie, gave me the impression that she was a weakling.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Wow….any book by Marliss Melton is a book I would like to read in one setting….if only I didn’t have other responsibilities getting in my way of enjoying her books.!
Any additional comments?
Marliss Melton’s books give the reader an insight into what our service people go through to ensure our nation’s safety. Katie is suffering from PTSD and Tyler comes home after a career changing disability. They have to learn to overcome their disabilities in order to find their happiness.
