Inkdeath--In Process

I just started listening to "Inkdeath", the third book in the Inkheart series by Cornelia Funke.  So far it's pretty good but I've only listened to 25 minutes of an over 12 hour long audiobook.  But right now I don't want to talk about the series or the author or anything like that.  I want to talk about how when one hears an audiobook, especially a reader one hasn't heard before, one then identifies that reader with that particular book.

Case in point, last year (or was it two years ago...) I listened to "The Book Thief", another YA book, written by Marcus Zusak.  I think it was very well done and told by a great reader.  Now, "Inkdeath" just so happens (I believe, I haven't actually looked for sure) to be narrated by the same guy.  I keep thinking as I listen that it's nice to hear the voice of Death reading another book.  If you don't understand what I mean, then clearly you haven't read "The Book Thief".  Don't worry, I'll review it soon!  

Anyway, "Inkdeath" is in progress!
