I think the audio to Hero's Guide is awesome! I couldn't read the prologue to anyone without accentuating the same parts in the same way that the narrator did!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Kelly! Glad you enjoyed it :)
DeleteI'm loving the audiobook! Bronson does a great job!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear that, Aeicha! Thanks for listening and entering our giveaway!
DeleteI think the Hero's Guide audiobook sample is fabulous. I've actually listened to it a couple of times. It makes me really want to read the book in person. Plus, I love the illustrations. So awesome!
ReplyDeleteMolly, Thanks so much! It's so good to hear that the audio book makes you want to read the book :). Thanks for your comments and for entering our giveaway!
DeleteWhoever wins this (if they are anything like me) will think they've died and gone to heaven!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your kind words - that is so sweet!
DeleteI think my daughter would listen to it.
ReplyDeleteLovely - I hope she gets a chance to listen to it too!
DeleteBronson has a great voice that will soothe the listeners into the book. Good choice.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great giveaway! The audiobook sounds great!
ReplyDeleteHero's Guide audiobook my grandson would love I have audiobooks as my eyes are not so good and need large print to read, so these audiobooks are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteOmg, That's hilarious. I have and ARC of Hero's Guide, but I might just have to get the audio book.
ReplyDeleteFascinating! I'm going to put this on my Goodreads List! Bronson shocked me! He does an amazing job! I like the different Prince names!
ReplyDeleteReally nicely done!
ReplyDeleteOh thats great I'll have to get it for my mum she'd just love it right up her alley
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the Hero's Guide audiobook. The narrator did a wonderful job. Thank you for this great giveaway.

I love when authors give us a new look at fairy tales and this sounds wonderful. Actually I might have to get the audio instead of the print version. Sounds exciting!
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard Bronson Pinchot since that terrible 1980's TV series - great narrator!
ReplyDeleteI'm not one to usually listen to audio books, but this is good. I think I'll give this one a try. (kkilpatrick7)
ReplyDeleteBronson Pinchot? Holy 80's flashback, Batman! I've wanted to read this book since I'd heard of it. Now I want to hear it as well.
ReplyDeleteBronson Pinchot!?! How amazing! I enjoyed the section of the audiobook--thanks for making that available. I bet my nephews would love it.
ReplyDeleteThat sample sounds amazing! Might have to pick it up!
ReplyDeleteHero's Guide is the #1 book on my to be listened to list!
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE to win this! Eeek!!! :)
ReplyDeleteThe book sounds amazing. Really looking forward to getting my hands on it soon.
Yeah... Knowing who the narrator is from the 80's and 90's really shows my age, but so-be-it. He reads the book very well. A perfect voice for it, as he is very clear and not at all dull.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to all who enter!
Love the sneak peek!
ReplyDeleteHero's Guide sound like an amazing book. I think I'd like the hardcover if I win this giveaway.
ReplyDeleteThank you for doing this fabulous giveaway! Honestly, I'm not one for audiobooks (I'm easily distracted if I'm not looking at something), but I like the sample! He's got a very clear, distinct voice and I love the pauses and inflections.
ReplyDeleteLoved the audio sample! The music at the beginning is perfect for the tale and I love the narrator's voice.
ReplyDeleteI loved the audio! I enjoy listening to audio books- and I found this one to be quite entertaining. I certainly learned a lot about Prince Charming or Charmings (love the humor).
ReplyDeleteThis is an AMAZING giveaway. After reading Breadcrumbs I would be thrilled to win and read the rest of the books on this list! Thanks so much.

Charming opening. Very funny.

Audio books are so great for the whole family when traveling in the car. The kids think it is a special treat to "listen" to a book, instead of reading them. LOL Thanks for this awesome giveaway.
ReplyDeleteThe audiobook sounds great!! Thank you for the amazing giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI thought the audio book was excellent. I teach fifth grade and it sounds like something that the kids in my class would really enjoy. They love read aloud and reading so much. We have had the chance to listen to a couple of books this year and they liked following along with the text while they listened. Thanks for the preview.
ReplyDeleteI love this giveaway. I would love to win and I know my students would be excited, too!

The audiobook sounds excellent! May have to pick up a copy of the book for my niece!
ReplyDeleteI like the music. It made me smile.
ReplyDeleteThe story sounds funny, and I definitely am going to enjoy this. However, I think I would prefer to read the book, rather than listen.
I've always loved Bronson Pinchot. And clearly I'm a huge fan of WPP's books. I couldn't think of a better pairing of two of my favorite things!
ReplyDeleteThis Sounds so good I've bought the audio and will get it read soon!
ReplyDeleteI like the intro music. It is very fitting of the essence that is The Heroes Guide. And I think Bronson has a great reading voice! Can't wait to read this! And thanks for the giveaway!

ReplyDeleteI want to listen more ... especially on my long summer roadtrips.

I absolutely LOVE the prologue! Thank you for the sample. Bronson Pinchot's voice is great for this story. He has a very matter of fact way of speaking.
ReplyDeleteWow this audiobook reminds me of the little record stories I used to play as a child. I'd win this for my kids, but not gonna lie I'd be listening right there with them.
ReplyDeleteI think, from the sample of it that I heard, that it very nicely done!
ReplyDeleteI've heard so many wonderful things about this book from book bloggers. Bronson Pinchot does a great job in those first 5 minutes--I'm certain the rest of audiobook is similarly awesome.
ReplyDeleteI don't usually listen to audio books, but as I listened to this sample my ten year old came in and LOVED it so much. We both sat and listened to this wonderful reading with smiles on our faces. I think this is an audio book that I will need to buy so I can have more of those fun book moments with my sweet girl!
ReplyDeleteI'll admit that I really struggle with audio books... So... Ahem...
ReplyDeleteBut, it's actually not awful!! :P I actually really quite like it! And since I have the real book... I TOTALLY love this story! Like seriously! :D
Loved the audiobook want to hear the rest.
ReplyDeleteNice voice to listen to and the story sounds intriguing. Now I am going to have to get the book. :)
ReplyDeleteStarted laughing as soon as I heard, "Read by Bronson Pichot!" What a wonderful voice. If the rest of the story is as entertaining as the prologue, readers are in for a treat!
ReplyDeleteI love the audio sample, Bronson is great!
ReplyDeleteThank you :)

Oh Bronson Pinchot. . . i will never stop loving you. AND i'm totally sold on wanting to read or listen to the rest of this immediately.
ReplyDeleteMore please? Sounds intriguing. My kids want more too.
ReplyDeleteBronson does a great job narrating. I am not really a fan of audio books for kids, but he is the perfect person for the book.
ReplyDeleteLoved it I even got my son to sit down and listen and he liked it too :)
