Michelle Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I'll have 2 credits on my audible account on 11th Sept, and so far I have 4 on my wishlist. Can anyone guide me to decide on which two? The Prince of Mist - Carlos Ruiz Zafon The Passage - Justin Cronin The Help - Kathryn Stockett Rebecca - Daphne Du Maurier In addition, I may need to buy one of these prior to this date, if I finish my current listen. Due to price, that will be either The Prince of Time or The Passage - but are either of these worth the money?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucybird Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I've not read any but Rebecca is on my TBR pile and The Help is on my wishlist so I'd love to see what you think of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Rebecca is wonderful - one of my favourite books. I haven't read The Help, but one of my friends loved it and I've heard lots of good reports about it - so I'd say go for those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 I've read reviews which say that The Help has 4 narrators, and they work really well to add an extra layer - which is why that's gone my audio list rather than the physical book.

chesilbeach Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 I've just popped over to Audible to have a look at the narrator of Rebecca, and if you're getting the unabridged version, the one I saw was read by Anna Massey. I've heard her read other books and she's a wonderful narrator. I loved the book when I read it earlier this year, so that one has to have my vote.

Michelle Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 Thanks everyone. Chesilbeach, I always go for unabridged, so that's good to hear - narrators can make such a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesilbeach Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 You're welcome Anna Massey has that beautiful cut glass crystal clear voice which will be perfect for the tone and setting of Rebecca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Definitely Rebecca - it's such a great story! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudyB Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 I'd like to add my vote for Rebecca - it's quite a compelling story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppyshake Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 It's probably far too late now but I'd say go for 'The Help', it's absolutely sensationally read by the three main characters (there is a fourth narrator but only briefly.) One of the best audiobooks I've ever heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted October 9, 2010 Author Share Posted October 9, 2010 I did go for The Help, and indeed it was very good. My second choice was actually something completely different. I think I'll get Rebecca this month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
