Snowball

Wascally Werewabbit! It's Wabbit Season!

Zeman writes one hell of a story, even if it is a little slow. The pace is set by all the buildup that it takes to get the setting and characters up to speed. Once it hits that point the story flies by like a rabbit on meth. Snowball goes from being a bullied bunny to the rabbit from Monty Python at the end, so it is worth sticking it out for the ride. The book is sort of a modern acceptance tale, her two dads are vampires, and unlike in the TV show by that name they are gay. Snow is berated and bullied, and musch of the delay in the story deals with her just trying to find a place to sleep and how to deal with her tormentors. As the father of a child who was constantly bullied in his younger years I really connected with snow over this issue. The end battle is well worth the time it takes to put in to get to that point. The story is well written, and it is touching and heartbreaking in some spots. I most be becoming a softie in my old age as this is not a book I would have read 10 years ago.

Erin Evans-Walker really steals the show here. She takes our little lab experiment and makes her real and sympathetic. Her portrayals of the other characters all standout. I am not normally a fan of female narators, unless of course the protagonist is female, but I think I could listen to her read a "manly" book and be happy.

I will certainly be looking for the next book as soon as it hits audible. Even though I did receive a promo code for this review it in no way influenced my considerations of the material, and in fact, inspired me to be more honest. In fact, getting a code generally makes me harsher as a reviewer as I am more often concerned what someone like Me will decide based on my review.

wonderful story

Would you consider the audio edition of Snowball to be better than the print version?

I like them both, but the audio version will allow me to listen any time.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Snowball?

This story has all the elements of a great science fiction piece. The main characters are well defined and very likable. The story has a great amount of imagination and nail biting bad people. I look forward to listening to the other books when they become available. This is a great story for anyone..

Have you listened to any of Erin Evans-Walker’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

no

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

the Wererabbit chronicles.

Delightfully suspenseful, witty and enjoyable!

What did you love best about Snowball?

The characters are wonderful, intriguing, and interestingly different from the usual vampire/werewolf stories.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Snowball?

One of the most memorable moments for me was when Snowball, the bunny first shifted into Snowball the little girl and how delighted she was and how horrified her adoptive vampire father reacted.

Which character – as performed by Erin Evans-Walker – was your favorite?

Erin Evans-Walker performs all the characters perfectly, but having read the book prior to listening to the audible, I was especially delighted with her performance of Snow. Most of the book is written in the first person, Snow, and Erin captures her beautifully and exactly the way I pictured her from my reading.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

There are serious moments in the story, but it is also peppered with laugh out loud moments. The humor is easy, witty and very human.

Any additional comments?

Snowball is a series of books...4 so far. I've read and enjoyed all of them. Listening to the first book has whetted my appetite to hear the others.
