Not at all what you would expect!

Where does Buddy rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

One of my favorites so far!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Kevin and the professor. Kevin is bright and likable, and keeps a surprisingly cool head throughout the odd events of the story! The professor is a true man of science, but despite his controversial research, he's no mad scientist. He also cares a great deal about Kevin, a real mentor and father figure, and does his best to keep him comfortable throughout the ordeal.

Which scene was your favorite?

When Buddy is "born." You'll have to listen to find out what I mean!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

The most interesting thing about this book is the juxtaposition of tone with the events of the story. This could easily have been a dark and creepy alien thriller, but the combination Tanyard's words and Radtke's portrayal lets the reader know there's nothing to be afraid of, only fascinated with.
