Not bad

Would you consider the audio edition of The Book of the Dead to be better than the print version?

I haven't read the book, but I think an unabridged version of the story would fill in a few gaps.

Would you be willing to try another book from Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child ? Why or why not?

I am a fan of the Authors and have grown very fond of the Pendergast series

What about Rene Auberjonois’s performance did you like?

Very nice voice, nice to listen in the Car or in Bed, not inclined to great volume jumps, but does characters very well.

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

No, I never have the time for that, I wish I did.

music is distracting to the story

I love the series. this story is wonderful, but the background music does not enhance the story, just detracts from it.

Thank goodness for abridged copies.

What did you love best about The Book of the Dead?

Good story. Sometimes Preston and Child benefit from abridgement.

What did you like best about this story?

The continuation of a longer saga.

Which scene was your favorite?

The escape from the prison.

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

Yes, but not possible

Another magnificent and spellbinding adventure

once War were captured by the Magnificent duration of a Preston and Child book agent Pendergast and all the others that come along with these books have given me an entirely new world to live in I thoroughly loved it.

Great story, great narrator

You just have to love Agent Pendergast! But I must confess, I will be glad when the story takes place somewhere else. I'm getting a bit sick of the museum as a setting.
