Great Easy Read

Would you listen to Dating Game again? Why?

I would definitely listen to it again. I've actually read it twice already and so it's nice to be able to just listen to it as well.

What does Pamela Lorence bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Pamela Lorence has a easy to listen to voice and brings the dialog to life nicely.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I definitely listened to it all in one go.

Another Great book in the Music of the Soul Series

This book introduces hints to many of the latter characters in this series and has a great theme and like all of his books the characters have enough flaws and make enough mistakes that they could be people you know. You don't have to read the previous books in the series too enjoy this book.

Sitcom Storyline

Yet another lame story-line where both partners in a relationship assume, despite a ****load of evidence to the contrary that the agreement they made on the first night they got together is still in force. Not that either says one word that might clear up the confusion or is capable of asking the other the one question it would take to settle the matter. Excuse me but isn't one of the best things about a lesbian affair or relationship the communication. Forgive my Y chromosome ignorance but aren't women purported to be superior communicators?
On the upside this an audio filled with likable well drawn characters that you can't help but pull for as is usually the case this author's works. I also enjoyed that the setting is the Pacific Northwest; an under utilized point at least among the authors I'm partial to. Given that I'm a sentimental to the point of being a gooey romantic: I loved the happy ending. I rate this as a good listen despite the flaws.

Enjoyable, but with a couple flaws.

The storyline was pretty neat. I enjoyed the characters as well as the events that took place throughout the story, even though it was pretty obvious where the story was going.
I enjoyed that it was an easy "read". It didn't take deep thought to follow along, and was great to listen to while doing mindless tasks and chores around the house. If I got distracted for a moment, it was easy to get back on track with the story.
I had a difficult time getting used to the narrator due to her voice being a higher pitch than I'm used to from other audiobooks. She sounded almost mechanical for the first couple chapters until either my ears got used to it or the editing got better.
I'm not sure I'll listen to another audiobook by this narrator, but I will definitely try out other Erik Schubach books.

So relatable

Absolutely love this book! I love all of the Music of The Soul books!! He's done it again!
