The Wrong Todd

By: Donna McDonald

Narrated by: Allyson Johnson

After she survives the bachelor auction, Sabine vows she is never doing another favor for a friend. This is especially true for favors that involve spending large sums of money and buying men whose last names she doesn't even know. In 20 bachelors, Sabine maybe expected to find several Davids, Mikes, or Johns. But what were the odds of two Todds? And now what is she going to do on a date with the wrong one?

Sometimes our worst mistake is our best outcome.

A woman, doing a favor for her (ex) brother in law, places a humongous bid on a guy named Todd, at a charity auction. Only it's the wrong guy.

The story doesn't end there, and it's a great tale, which shows we should not tell a person by their appearance.

Great book

Any additional comments?

One of the reasons I loved this audio book so much is I finally know how all those Hawaiian words sound now

Great Story! Allyson Johnson is a gifted narrator!!!

I code a five star rating because the storyline is so good. Donna McDonald is such a good storyteller. Allyson Johnson brought the story to life with her gifted narration.

Not as clever as I was hoping for

The premise is very cute, and Jennifer Crusie could have made a great romp out of it. Unfortunately Donna McDonald turned a great concept into a mediocre manuscript.

Sabine is likeable, but not adorable. Todd is likeable but not believable. The voice the narrator created for him sounds as if she is trying to affect a foreign accent. Hey, Hawaii is part of the United States. His voice does not need to sound like English is his second language.

The twist in the drama is set up so that Todd must be willing to risk exposing his deepest vulnerability to win Sabine, but when it plays out there is no tension. There is nothing in the performance that give us reason to believe that Todd is really risking anything important.

This book is okay, but don't go into it with expectations of a great romp.

AWESOME!!!!!

Would you consider the audio edition of The Wrong Todd to be better than the print version?

Yes!!! I didn't think it could be better, or that I would enjoy it more, but I did!!!

What did you like best about this story?

The pronunciation of the Hawaiian words brought totally different pictures to my mind than when I read the print version!

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

Knowing how to pronounce the Hawaiian words and the huskiness of her voice really made this book come alive for me!!!

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

YES!! Unfortunately, I don't get paid to listen to books, so I had to put it aside for 9 hours at a time!!!

Any additional comments?

Highly recommend the audible version of this awesome book!!!!!!
