Short but Great Listen
Six-gun Snow White is a retelling and reinterpretation of the fairy tale Snow White set in the American West. This is a Western interpretation with some magical flair. Really enjoyed this short read and was happy I found it on Audible. Julia Whelan does a great job with the narration.
This is a book I had been trying to get ahold of and read for about a year before I got audible and found it here. The only other book I've read from Valente is Deathless which is another great retelling of a fairy tale, this time a Russian one. If you enjoy retellings of fairy tales, especially ones with a dark twist then I can definitely recommend both Six-Gun Snow White and Deathless as some great choices.
Great Listen!
I absolutely love this author and thought this was a clever and fun twist on an old story. I hesitated to buy a three hour book but it was definitely worth it!!!
Great narrator, creative retelling
Where does Six-Gun Snow White rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?
This is a great audiobook. Cat Valente is someone whose career I have followed for some time and this was the first of her books I finally sat down and finished. Julia Whelan's narration went a long way toward accomplishing that. I love retellings and really enjoy retellings of Snow White.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Of course my favorite character was the main character!
What does Julia Whelan bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?
Many voices and accents, also texture.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes. It also may be possible for some because of length. I tend to pick shorter books for when I have less attention span and this was a good book for this.
