Alessia Caruso: What I like and don't like

1. What did you enjoy about listening to this story?

• I enjoyed how the speaker spoke with such emotion and helped envision the how the characters felt in the audio book.
• I also enjoyed envisioning what each of the characters and the setting looked like.
• I like how brief, yet descriptive, the narrator is in his writing.
• It allows you to take notes while you’re listening to the tape, rather than reading something, having to put the book down to write a couple of notes, then have to pick up the book again and keep reading.
• The narrator also keeps us on our toes and really makes the audience fell that they are part of the story, through his tone and choice of words.

2. What frustrates you about listening to a story rather than reading it?

• I do not like how if you miss something, you have to rewind and try to find where you had left off, rather than if you miss something while reading, you can just go back a sentence or two and read it again, more thoroughly and carefully.
• I also do not like the long breaks in between his words as he narrates, in comparison to reading something at  a much quicker pace.
