“Narrator Heather Henderson does a superb job
of capturing the enthusiasm of the text—a job made easier by Levine’s
conversational tone. Henderson’s pacing allows listeners to absorb the author’s
pointers on creating memorable characters, creatures, and worlds. However, the
audio version may be more inspirational than practical as frequent prompts for
the listener to stop and write make this a poor choice for listeners on the go.
Nonetheless, the combination of Levine’s engaging writing and Henderson’s
pitch-perfect narration ensures that even a listener in transit will glean
useful tips and the inspiration to continue the writer’s quest.”
