The Fireman
by Joe Hill
I really enjoyed this book, but before I can talk about that I have to get something off my chest. Kate, sweetie, I really enjoy your narration but it's pronounced "ma-chai-us" NOT "ma-chee-us". Someone really should have told you that because, and I don't know about everyone else, this Mainer was wicked irked EACH AND EVERY TIME it was mispronounced. That's part of why it's losing a star because, for me, it pulled me out of the moment EVERY TIME. Okay, phew.
SO, Joe Hill has become one of my favourite authors this past year. At the moment, my "I will always read your book first" author list is something like V.E. Schwab, Jeff Zentner, Edgar Cantero, and Joe Hill (maybe Jay Kristoff in 5th?) I love his well-developed characters and interesting "what-if" scenarios. For some reason, I really resonated with Harper and was really invested in her story. I wondered what things would be like for me in that sci-fi/dystopian scenario and if I would make similar choices.
Kate Mulgrew is the perfect narrator for Joe's stories. I first listened to her read his NOS4A2 and was sooo into her narration. I can't wait to see what they pair up for next!
Oh! By the way, if you listened to this make sure to listen past the acknowledgements/credits for a very important easter egg!
