Charley,
I am a little irritated with Criss Cross, mostly because the narrator pauses abnormally long at the end of each sentence. I got the actual book and plan on switching soon.

Samantha,
That's something wonderful to look forward to, isn't it? Reading with my kids is one of the greatest joys of my life.

I've heard a lot about this book. Maybe when my son gets a little bit older we will read it together. Thanks for the review!

I like your idea of interviewing your son. I listened to the first 2 books on audio, and I didn't mind the narrator's voice. But I notice you're listening to Criss Cross on audio - that's one where I only listened about 20 minutes before I not take any more of the reader's voice. It reminded me of Fran Drescher on The Nanny. Hopefully you have a better experience.

Beth,
I know of a lot of adults who have enjoyed this one, so you might really like it. I think on Amazon it gets five stars.

Amanda,
This has been really popular among the boys in my sons class, so there's a good bet your son will like it.

Michele,
Thanks! I love it when my kids are willing to help me out.

Kim,
I'm glad you didn't find it as annoying as I did. Maybe his voice reminded me of someone I didn't like :-).

Interesting. I listened to this audio too and I didn't think it was that bad. The book had been loaned to me by a friend so when I saw the book on CD's at the library I thought it would be easier to read that way. I didn't think it was great but I enjoyed it. I don't really feel the need to read anymore in the series though.

This is the most relevant interview I've read in a long, long time! Great idea!

Hm, sounds like my 8 year old would enjoy this a lot. I like the ballpoint-pen sword image. :)

Glad you reviewed this. I've been thinking of listening to this book because one of my young nephews enjoyed the audio version. Glad to have an adult's take on it. I may read it (or listen to) anyway to make my nephew happy, but I won't go into it with great expectations.
