![]() ![]() Gilbert demonstrates that she can present multiple characters (such as in The Hobbit) as wonderfully as this (mostly) first person narrative I will be impressed indeed. Rob Inglis (Lord of the Rings) is my current number one. Tavia Gilbert is one of the best narrators I've heard and I've listened to a hundred or so books over the last 15 years. My only criticism is the story is too short! I wanted to learn more about Madison's past, her future, and the strange place she found herself in. Different, imaginative, and very well written.

Jay Asher The Everafter is a book that will stick with readers, making them think no only about Maddy but also about the nature of life and death, time, possessions, and the interactions with both people and things that make us, us. Madison awakes in a bubble floating in nowhere, she has no body and at first no sensations. Amy Huntley’s book will do the same for you. This is a book about the Afterlife, or perhaps the pre-Afterlife is a better term. Where does The Everafter rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far? ![]()
