![]() The fact that the story line, to me, was really believable. ![]() Yes, because the story was fun and the narrator did a wonderful job. I didn't feel that way when I read the ebook, so I know it was the narrator. He was a self-centered diva with an occasional mean streak. The narrator was way over the top and portrayed Danny is such a way that I truly did not like him some of the time. Summary: This is one of the very rare times that I liked the ebook better. If you could rename Plan B, what would you call it? I think someone like Shannon Gunn or Sean Crisden would have been a better choice for narrator. In this audio version, he came off even more self-centered with an occasional mean streak. I quite liked the ebook and, most of the time, Danny. But I didn't like his over-the-top performance and inflections for Danny. ![]() ![]() What was one of the most memorable moments of Plan B?ĭid Andrew McFerrin do a good job differentiating all the characters? How? The writer is talented and I would definitely read or listen to other books she's written. But it was still mostly fun to listen to, sweet in places yet angsty in others. I would recommend the book over the audiobook. Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? ![]()
