very annoying sound effects

I cannot get into this audiobook because the makers have decided to represent the inner monologue of the characters by some odd sound effect that makes the speaker sound like he or she speaks from out of a tin can - a far-away tin can. Aside from this being very annoying, you also miss entire sentences if your surroundings aren't quiet since the tin-can monologues are of lesser volume than the rest of the performance.

This nuisance kept me from finishing the book. I suggest you listen to the excerpt before buying this one - sth I usually do but neglected with this book because audible offers many excellent audio versions of this author. For me, this one is a case of buyer's remorse.

Brilliant

I must admit that I am a Fan of Jennifer Crusie.Of course romantic novels always have the typical boy-meets-girls-story, many problems and (hopefully) a happy ending. But Jennifer Crusie has the talent to make the reader (or listener) laugh out loud, when her protagonist agnes tries to gain back the control of her life, which is difficult, because she goes ballistic and starts hitting people with non-stick frying-pans, when getting lied to and hurt. And she get's hurt and lied to a lot.Sandra Purr is an excellent reader, too. I just can commend this book to everybody who likes romantic comedies and a complicated story with many open ends, that smooth to a surprising outcome!
