Anyone listened to any audio books other than "Four Blind Mice" and Neil Gaiman's "Murder Mysteries?" (I own those) I'm thinking of purchasing one and I would like to know which have Michael the most and might be interesting.
Thanks,
Ashli

All right! Too late. I've already purchased "All The Kings Men." Hope it's good. (I'm sure it will be. It's 20 hours of Michael's sweet voice)

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do, AshiBrooke. Everytime I listen there's more and more stuff that I missed the first run-through. I think it's his best work of all the stuff I seen and heard, quite frankly.

Oh, I listened to it for an hour last night in bed (after downloading the whole 20 hours onto my iPod) I love Michael's voice. And his accents, and the words that he uses. *sigh* He's beautiful in every way known to man. |

He also read, "The Amalgamation Polka," although my favorite lines are from "Four Blind Mice:" He made me laugh, the way he said, "What a bunch of loonies" and "...trying to wakey-wakey."
Personally, I found "The Amalgamation Polka" a bit hard to follow, compared to the other two audiobooks; It's filled with a lot of complex words and descriptions.

I also got "The Amalgamation Polka." It is advanced writing with generous doses of esoterica. But Wright truly captured the verbal mannerism of people in the 1860s and Michael, of course, did an excellent job of bringing it to audio. He "kept up" with Wright's literary devices and brought them to life. But yes, it's not for those times when you don't want to work too hard at listening.
I truly hope Michael does more audiobooks. He is one of the best, and I've listened to my share of audiobooks.

The murder mysteries story is good. The story and the sexy voice was great!

Where do you guys find all these audio books? I keep searching Itunes store and it can't find any of them. Is it different in the UK? Not all of them are available through iTunes. It's in the website under professional accomplishments: Audio Books The radio play adaptation of Neil Gaiman's short story, Murder Mysteries, in which he was the narrator. The audio book version of James Patterson's novel, Four Blind Mice, which he conarrated with Peter J. Fernandez. Private Sector, audio book of the novel by Brian Haig, which he conarrated with John Rubinstein. Conarrated volume III of an audio book series called "Legends II: New Short Novels by the Masters of Modern Fantasy," which includes a short story by Neil Gaiman. Narrated audio book CD of Robert Penn Warren's novel All the King's Men in 2005. Narrated audio book CD of The Amalgamation Polka by Stephen Wright, published in February of 2006. (All but Four Blind Mice are available through iTunes. Four Blind Mice is available through Barnes & Noble. Please note that when dealing with iTunes, you must download the software from Apple. The software is free, and the items you purchase are downloaded directly to your hard drive. ) |
