Members Reviews:
A charming, heartwarming, quirky story with...
a talking ceiling fan!
The eBook was free on KU but Im glad I got the audio, because its fantastic. Its a full cast and done like an old-time radio program with sound effects, which was fun. The main audio narrator was amazingshe also does the mothers voice.
Some of the dialogue is in Spanish but its mostly in context so you get the point. My rudimentary Spanish filled in most of the rest, and what I didnt catch (since I had the eBook) I Googled. Personally, I liked the Spanishit felt authentic to the story and the region.
Great story for anyone, anywhere but even more fun if you live in New MexicoI like to read/listen to things set in the area I live.
Sweet
Sweet and tender, and just long enough. Well written and well read, with a great voice cast.
A delightful tale with multiple facets
The fact that the ceiling fan turned out to be a character in itself (of sorts) was actually really clever and symbolically relatable! At the begining, I thought the tale would be about the internal dialog the fan represented, but turns out the story was about something compleatly different in the end. It was a wonderful turn of events and a great ending that reminds us to continue being grateful for what we have. The narration with multiple voices, accents, and spanish snippets really gave this tale an authentic New Mexico feel! Loved it :)
