Nope. Scarlett Johansson.Every female voice on EVERY audiobook made forever.....should be Kate Beckinsale's voice....LOL
As far as Flake is concerned, all things Depp are 'droppings'If you keep dropping Beckinsale bombs, I am going to be forced to retaliate with a Depp dropping!
Ohhh, I know that. Just the mere mention of his name causes Flake to tremble......As far as Flake is concerned, all things Depp are 'droppings'
Ohhh, I know that. Just the mere mention of his name causes Flake to tremble......
Isn't that just wild? Who'd have thought that they had earthquakes down there? Crazy!!Hmmm...that may explain all those recent tremors they've been having in Kiwi-land.
I totally agree, dammit.Every female voice on EVERY audiobook made forever.....should be Kate Beckinsale's voice....LOL
I listened to this book on audio and although I loved Craig Wasson and thought he did a super job, I just did NOT hook into the romance because I just couldn't with him reading the female part. I've never really had this problem before, but with this book, I did.I am a new Stephen King fan. When I was younger I tried reading his books but, according to my superstitious christian parents, the author might as well have been Satan himself and so I never got very far before feeling too guilty (and creeped out) and putting them down. All grown up now, I am no longer subject to those beliefs, but I don't have time to read anymore, accept for children's bedtime stories. So, I listen to audio books while I perform mindless tasks. I have become utterly hooked on several of Stephen King's books this way. I just finished this one. It was mostly fantastic and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I got thinking about what I didn't enjoy about it though and found a common thread with issues I took with other Stephen King audio books. Its the women. I suspect that if I were reading them myself, I wouldn't have this problem.
His narrators are really great. I love their work, I really do. But, they are men pretending to be women. Most of the time, this isn't really an issue. However, when the character fills a romantic role in the story, these men in vocal drag create a disgust factor that makes the love stories hard to believe.
Am I right? Is it just an issue with the audio versions? I wish they'd get a female to read those lines. Keep the trend of narrators for the rest of it all. But when a woman is supposed to be lovely and fallen in love with, I think its important she have a beautiful voice. At least a female one. Just a thought.

And not in a good way....Ohhh, I know that. Just the mere mention of his name causes Flake to tremble......
Did Marsha just call me fat?Hmmm...that may explain all those recent tremors they've been having in Kiwi-land.
And not in a good way....
Did Marsha just call me fat?
I know my sweet Spidey... I was just pulling her left leg!I think she was referring to the recent earthquake ( Flake trembles= earthquake?) Flake is not fat/ chocolate keeps you thin and healthy!!
It is isn't it? I love birdsNeesy, I'm snagging this pic, if that's okay--so pretty!
I have copyrighted that phrase. If you continue to use it you will be forced to pay me a quarter each time, or let them add up and pay me in ice cream!A Depp dropping...
Hi, welcome to the board, and welcome back to King. I personally have only listened to one audio book - the short story "Night Surf" and there weren't too much love in it. But I do see your point, when I first heard the guy doing one of the female voices, it was a whiney character who was being sulky, so it made me laugh. By the end of the story though, it was a bit annoying to be honest.I am a new Stephen King fan. When I was younger I tried reading his books but, according to my superstitious christian parents, the author might as well have been Satan himself and so I never got very far before feeling too guilty (and creeped out) and putting them down.
