Where does Sleep, Pale Sister rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

fantastic, in the top 10, but as always Joanne Harris can shock you

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

yes, just wanted to keep listening, it was enthralling , dark but enthralling

Wow!!!!

It wasn’t a story that I enjoyed, it was pretty unpleasant to say the least. What I found most confusing though was that I really wished the chapters were named for the character ‘talking’ rather than just the chapter number. Often took me a while to decide who it was! That said, I still enjoy the ghostly, spiritual side of her stories and the hint of magic.

Not my favourite Joanne Harris by a long way!

I really enjoy Joanne Harris’ mixture of magic and reality and this was a very good example of both. Steven Pacey’s narration was superb as ever. There really isn’t a better narrator out there!

Another really good Joanne Harris

Talented author. No one wins in this story. I thought too it was a difficult piece for the narrator. He did 100% well. Narrator was a good choice to read this difficult piece. I would like to see authors like D Harkness read some of this author's works to get a feel of what real story writing is about. This story is a bit occult, a bit cliff-hanger, a bit insight into how women could be seen as belongings, & a bit about the predatory nature of the psyche in all of us (male or female).

Brilliant; but macabre.

A brilliant story.
I couldn't put it down.

Joanne Harris is such an imaginative writer and her use of language is magical.

The narration was good but I felt the dealing with the different characters voices could have been better.

But overall I would thoroughly recommend this book.

Unforgettable!
