I'm normally a bit prickly about reinterpretations of myths and fairy tales, but this was a great example of how to do it. I just listened to this, and loved it!

Maybe she will start a band someday that can be 'Heart Burn'. I think Heartburn would be a great name, at least in the world of Fever Crumb!

LOL I'm pregnant now and I'm pretty sure if that was the case my daughter should be named Heartburn ;) This sounds pretty interesting.

Great review.

I've never heard of this book, but it sounds great! I have heard of Mortal Engines, but haven't read it either. Sounds like they all need to be added to my list! Thanks for introducing it to me. I agree about authors reading their own work. I've had several audios ruined for me that way. I'm glad this one worked out. Wow. I’ve never heard of this book, but it sounds great!

Sounds like an awesome audiobook. I'll have to add this to my "to do" list. I know what you mean about narrators voicing teenagers. It just sounds wrong and takes away so much from the book, IMHO.

As a memoir, it is particularly fitting that it is read by the author. I don't always like it when authors read their own work, but this really was a great fit.

I didn't notice that it was the abridged version which is read by Lynne Redgrave.....SUPERB!!!! Another recommendation is the Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Safon. I read the book and listened to the audio......great story. I had to go to Barcelona and do the walking tour of all the places. "Els 4 gats" what a great surprise that place was!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
