Tears!!!! I can’t count the number of times I had years running down my face from laughing so hard!! Joel Leslie is simply amazing performing not only Oz, but all of the characters who each have distinct British accents *bows down to Joel* Oz has to be one of the funniest and snarkiest characters in..

This is a verrrrrrry slow moving story and verrrrry maudlin. Not for me. Joel Leslie is the only redeeming factor.
Review from Oz →
Oz was my first introduction to author Lily Morton. She has quickly moved into my auto-buy list. Her characters have a depth to them that brings them alive. Her writing, sometimes lyrical in it’s description of her character’s worlds, and sometimes stark in in its simplicity, always evokes emotion. Oz and Silas are perfect foils…

I had already read the book so I was familiar with the story. You might think that would cut down on the giddy reaction. Nope, exactly the opposite in fact! Joel’s performance brings a great book to life even more and there were spots I had to pause the narration as I was laughing so..

Once again Lily Morton has the uncanny ability to deliver a story which hooks you at the very first word.

I laughed and cried and laughed and cried so many times throughout the book..

Oz is now my spirit animal. The narrator did an awesome job. The story drags you in. Keeps you laughing from the very beginning.
