Absolutely wonderful,
By
This review is from: Bloody Jack: Being an Account of the Curious Adventures of Mary 'Jacky' Faber, Ship's Boy (Bloody Jack Adventures) (Audio CD)
This Audio CD is utterly fantastic!! I cannot rave about it enough. It is so good, that I am sitting here typing a recommendation, something I have never done for all the thousands of books I have purchased here.I had already read the novel, and two sequels. I love the books, and I love the character of Jacky Faber. Then, I got this audio book for Christmas as I had just gotten a job which required a 45 minute commute each way, so I thought this would help kill the time. Well, I love this story even more now, having heard Katherine Kellgren's wonderful reading. I swear, you'll think it is Jacky herself telling her story. This actress, and that's what she deserves to be called, really made this story come alive. If there are Oscar's for audio book narrator's, I hope she wins one! Do I sound like I'm gushing? Well, I am! Not only is this a wonderfully fun story for any age, but hearing it read by this incredibly talented woman truly takes it to the next level.

Great fun! Read them all!,
By Friday Next (The Library) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bloody Jack: Being An Account Of The Curious Adventures Of Mary Jacky Faber, Ship's Boy (Turtleback School & Library Binding Edition) (Bloody Jack Adventures) (School & Library Binding)
There are now 3 of the Jacky Faber books. I've read them all, and I've enjoyed every one of them (the 1st and 3rd more than the 2nd).What I like most about the books, besides the action, is the sheer joy and spunkiness of the main character, Jacky Faber. She gets into scrape after scrape, but always comes out on top. She's impulsive and careless, but wily and resourceful. And though she's definitely a fantasy creation, the naval adventure genre is full of fantasy creations (Horatio Hornblower being the most obvious example). So why not have a female one, for once? Read these books. You won't regret it!

This review is from: Bloody Jack: Being an Account of the Curious Adventures of Mary 'Jacky' Faber, Ship's Boy (Bloody Jack Adventures) (Audio CD)
The book story alone is fantastic, highly amusing and even thought-provoking with some of the things Jacky comes up with. Katherine Kellegreen however, makes it ten times more entertaining to listen to, the voices she makes are great, they vary so well that you're not really thinking it's one woman, but even without that her voice for Jacky alone is one of the most entertaining things I've listened to in a while. I think I'll continue the series with the audiobooks because of her.
