mellifera33 Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I just signed up for a free trial of Audible. My first book was the Ian McKellen reading of The Odyssey. What should I get with my second credit? I'm looking for a meaty story, appropriate for all ages, interesting for two very active boys. Go! :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget-Me-Not Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Harry Potter. Even if you've read them, listening to Jim Dale read them is a whole new experience. Black Beauty read by Simon Vance The Phantom Tollbooth read by David Hyde Pierce. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinder Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 The Graveyard Book and Odd and the Frost Giants, both are written and read by Neil Gaiman. He also does a great job on Fortunately, the Milk but it's only about an hour and not worth a credit. Maybe you can find it at the library.

Yes, I would have suggested this as well, but I agree it's too short to use a credit on, lol. DS2 got it as a christmas present and we all adore it. It is on our 'must have' for family road trips.
