Summary
Nerdy, introverted genius lepidopterist, Lawson Gale, is an expert on butterflies. He finds himself in a small town in Tasmania on a quest from an old professor to find an elusive species that may or may not even exist.
Local Parks and Wildlife officer, Jack Brighton, is an ordinary guy who loves his life in the sleepy town of Scottsdale. Along with his Border collie dog, Rosemary, his job, and good friends, he has enough to keep from being lonely.
But then he meets Lawson, and he knows he's met someone special. There's more to catching butterflies, Jack realizes. Sometimes the most elusive creatures wear bow ties, and sometimes they can't be caught at all.
Lawson soon learns there are butterflies he can't learn about it in books. They exist only in a touch, in a kiss, in a smile. He just has to let go first, so these butterflies can fly.
Imago is the story of finding love, bow ties, and butterflies.
Contains mature themes.

Slight but engaging and sweet story.
Enjoyed this short and slight romance but felt the narrator's voice didn't quite match - both in accent and emotional range.

Poor narration
I love this Authors books and usually enjoy the audio versions but this felt like Siri was reading to me. Little to no differentiation between characters and anything not said by a character read in a monotone English accent with pretty much no inflection or emotion. I really hope the voice artist isn’t reading all of them, as I really don’t want to hear his Charlie Sutton in the Crossover with Red dirt series.

lovely story, disappointed by the narration
While I enjoyed this story, an initial misstep by the narrator took away from my enjoyment. The chapters were written in either the head of Lawson or Jack. However, the narrator used the same, near wooden primary voice for both characters and separate Aussie accents for dialogue. I don't get why he did that. If he wasn't good at accents I would have understood, however, the accents used for dialogue between Lawson and Jack were good and distinctive. The robotic British primary narration jarred and at times I didn't know which mc was 'talking'.
It's a shame because Antony Ferguson did a great job with Tallowwood.

Enjoyable book
I liked the book and I thought the narration was fine. I thought the voice of the kid was slightly off and once or twice I wasn't sure whether it was Lawson or Jack who was speaking but overall I didn't have a problem with the narrator because none of it took away from the story. I am looking forward to the next book.

Interesting story
I liked this story, but I felt that the narrator was wrong for it. The voices for each character was wrong and it turned out to be rather creepy.

Fantastic story, robotic narration
The story was great, but the performance needed work. The voice was robotic and may as well have been the computer voicing it. It got better with dialogue (or I got used to it), but it took a lot away from what was a fantastic book.

Unusual but endearing
The narrator sounded like he was reading a shopping list, but I persisted as the characters were interesting. The author's style has matured with later books

Refrain from reading Georgette Heyer at bedtime
I loved the Australian accent of the reader and felt that his voice was probably more appropriate to the story than the words that were written. If one gave an Australian schoolboy a Regency romance to read, it might produce a similar effect.
The writing has that stilted quality that one might expect from a period romance. Phrases such as 'I probably should apologise for being so bold as to insist' are not what one might expect from any educated English speaking person, anywhere in the world, and are rough ground for any Aussie chap to wrap his lips 'round.
Dear Author, Please refrain from reading Georgette Heyer at bed time.

Almost love at first sight
Lovely story of two men with different lives coming together to find a rare butterfly and falling for each other, a beautiful story from N R Walker.

nice romance
A nice romance with very little to get the heart racing. Terrible narration though. This is one of the few books that I found myself wanting to end, mostly because of the narrator.
