Under the Whispering Door

I can't tell you how excited I was that I was chosen to review the audiobook for this novel. I absolutely loved Cerulean Sea but just could not enjoy the audio due to the narrator.

This book translates beautifully to audiobook. The story is easy to follow, the narrator uses voices that beautifully mesh and are distinct enough that you know without any kind of indicator exactly who is talking. The story is paced well and is written in such a way you're not confused about what exactly is happening.

As for the story itself, it is the type of beautiful story you would expect from TJ Klune. His storytelling is masterful, his characters so perfectly flawed. As much as you want to hate Wallace, you can see pieces of yourself and the people you hold dear in him. You don't even notice it as you slip from wondering why Klune would create such a detestable character into actually rooting for him. He uncovers and pokes at all of the raw places of our hearts that are love, loss, and family.

If you are interested in a story that would be the lovechild of Ghost and Good Will Hunting... try this out.
