I've listened to Justine Eyre before and loved her as a narrator. However, this audio book is not working for me at all. I'm about halfway through the 2nd disc. I'm not ready to give up on the book just yet. I probably will stop listening to the audio and just read the book.Shondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10430978671903519256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-53371082491180816352011-04-06T22:07:54.974-04:002011-04-06T22:07:54.974-04:00I remeber listening ton one of hers on audio a few...I remeber listening ton one of hers on audio a few years ago and found it very boring.
