I rated Maine an "A" which is very high praise indeed. <br /><br />As I mentioned here, I enjoyed the audio edition and thought Lee's accents added to the experience and that she rendered the mood well.<br /><br />You do not need to subscribe to AudioFile to see reviews on their site (at least I don't think you do). I'm not sure my audio review is up on the site yet.<br /><br />The review you see here is longer than the review for the magazine, which focuses primarily on the audiobook experience.Beth Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08627666337961326265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-9827857617302705132011-07-11T16:28:33.533-04:002011-07-11T16:28:33.533-04:00This is on my wishlist, I can't wait to read i...This is on my wishlist, I can't wait to read it and I'm glad to hear that the audio version has good narration.
