The audio edition is great! I listen to it in the car, and also at home when I need quiet time. Must keep a open mind....because everyone interprets the book differently and by listening to the audio, it really brings out the characters and understanding!!!! BEFORE listening to the book.....listen to the interview by the author....on why he wrote the book!!!! Makes a very big difference!!!! This book can be life changing!!!! I LOVED IT!  So happy I got the audio!

I loved the amazing by Frederick Davidson! Unbelievable, immersive, and so funny to hear all the incredible characters come alive from the golden age of audiobook narration!

I don't know if I could have read the print version of this book. I think it would have been a little much for me. As it stands, I downloaded the audio from the library. I had some work to do and an audiobook makes the time go so much faster. I'm beginning to think this narrator is in a lot of books, but goodness, he does a great job at everything. Everyone has a unique voice. It was so fun to hear the Scottish brogue being pronounced correctly. By correctly, I mean better than what I would have pronounced in my head if I were reading the book. At one point in the story the main character laughs and the narrator aced it! I wanted to keep rewinding that part to listen to it over and over. 5 stars for the audio alone!

While I enjoyed the narrator and his voices, I can't say I can say the same about the actual storyline. Of course, I didn't read the synopsis, so I didn't know what the story would be about. I just (really) liked the cover and the book was available to download so I went with it. My problem is that the story is really, really ridiculous. And I know that whoopie is kind of a blase thing to most people, I personally didn't agree with the main character and her reason for going to Scotland. I wanted to give her a lecture on self respect. But it's a book and she made up her mind to do it.

At any rate, she comes across Drusten and everything between them happens over what, two or three days? Couldn't have been much longer than that. Things between them happened wayyyy to fast. And no, I don't mind love at first site. I just think that there should be something there to make the story interesting. This one lacked that something. And am I the only one who thought that the moment they hooked up seemed too rushed and contrived. It was like, hey I need this for the plot, soooo let's make it happen. Then it happens and oh look we're out of time. You'll know what I'm talking about when you read it.

I did enjoy the clothing store scene. I thought that was pretty funny seeing him react to modern times. I'm pretty sure I laughed out loud with that one.

I was surprised at what happened but then I was happy with how things turned out (for the most part - who did the dusting?). I like my stories to end happy, and this one was certainly a happy ever after.

All in all, I'm glad I listened to it because now if I see the Phil's name as the narrator, I know that's a sign for me to jump all over that! And I will be adding my review for the next book in the line, his brothers story. I don't see myself listening to any more of these kinds of stories though. Twice is enough!

I'm three-fourths of the way through the audiobook (CD). So far, nothing from Oprah! I'd have been shocked, angry, and appalled if I'd bought a version with the jarring ambush of unexpected commentary from anyone. Wow--whose terrible idea was this?!? I'm sad for the author of this gorgeous book, although I guess she agreed to it. But, to me, sharing the experience of a book should be a choice on the part of the reader, period. I don't usually review books before I'm done, and I'll probably come back to this after I finish, but I will say now that the audio version is so compelling and beautifully done that I have been finding excuses to do errands just so I can be in my car listening to it. The women reading in both Hetty's and Sarah's voices are superb, and this adds to the impact of the story. Thanks, Sue Monk Kidd! Mary Lee Moser

The narration is smooth with an excellent inflection. It sounds like an audiobook, of course, but could easily be interpreted as a radio advertisement or video presentation that would accompany the printed edition. Medium-paced in a manner that is easy to follow along with, the audio achieves Five Stars with a salesman-like style to it. "Change Needs You - Now." Or so it goes...

Daniel Gross was just on Keith Olbermann's Countdown promoting his book.  When I looked on Amazon, there was only the Kindle version ready to go.  I wanted to recommend the audio version to my local library, but there is no hard copy yet!

I am giving you 5-stars because I am salivating over this book despite the fact that I just had a huge sandwich!

Get busy-get the audio out.  I do most of my reading through audio books unless there is an inordinate amount of graphic material (as in text books).  And as for novels, I regard them as a luxury.  I feel guilty sitting there reading them when I can actually feel my butt expanding from all those hours of sitting.  So I listen to them while I am doing mindless tasks, and life is loaded with endless hours of those.

Dyslexics of the world-untie!

The audiobook is read by...  (of course...)

Samuel L. Jackson!!!

I couldn't in a MILLION years think of a better person to get.  That's not to say there wouldn't be a lot of humor in hearing it read by someone more stuffy or formal, just for the irony!  But take a few minutes and check it out on YouTube.  It's a riot!

This is a great book. One of my favorites. I prefer the audiobook.

There are already some great and very thorough 5-star reviews on here about the book itself, so I won't bother to restate more of the same.  I will offer a piece of advice related to the audiobook edition, though... DON'T buy it; stick with the book/ebook format.

I'm a huge fan of Brene Brown and all her books.  She's a gifted and insightful researcher, a talented writer, but even more so... she's a phenomenal and engaging speaker.  I'd already read Daring Greatly (book format) a few times, but it's one of those books that you can come back to over and over again.  I thought it might be great to get the audiobook format since I spend at least two hours in the car every day commuting.  The problem, though, is that Brown writes very much like she speaks.  Especially if you've ever heard her speak or watched her TED Talk, then you'll understand how much the material is affected without her delivery... so much of her "flavor" and the humor is lost with someone else narrating the book.  I hope at some point they release a new audiobook version with Brown as the narrator.

This was just released on Audiobook in the last couple days, along with Lord Perfect, which I can hardly wait to use my audible credit to get next month! This book is wonderful. The narrator, Kate Reading, is excellent and I loved the story. The travel adventure through Egypt is exciting, the archeological details are fascinating and the romance is passionate. Rupert is an irresistible hero and Daphne is a quirky, compelling heroine. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to their story! The inclusion of the mongoose is fun and made me want to ressurect Rikki Tikki Tavi, either the book or the cartoon which has always been a family favorite.

If you have an audible.com account, this audiobook is well worth your monthly credit!

This book will have you captured from the very first line. The audio book has an awesome voice which is capable of making you feel like a whole crew of male and female voices from different nationalities are doing the book. It is very nicely done. The story is simply MIND BLOWING. I mean, what if this was true...?

I loved this book, I really wish it was on audio though. I can't wait for book 12 to come out!

Please record this book for listeners on Audible.com Recently, I'm too lazy to read and I consume nearly all books by listening to them on my car stereo, connected to AUX with a cord, or while playing solitare on my iPod or if I'm really in a pinch, as with this book and there's no audible version, I put them on text to speech function on kindle and connect them to the car stereo. But this is really the last resort. Nearly all the books I consume nowadays are on audible.com

I saw the awesome reviews and I knew based on the description I had to check out this book. This is one of the few times I'm thrilled to have purchased the audiobook instead of the ebook because the narration is awesome! Grant narrates like he's in the room talking to you and has conviction. You may not like some of the things he says, but if you're looking to get on the right track this book will make it happen.
