AMANDA WAKES UP

This is a hilarious behind-the-scenes look at broadcast reporting as told through the eyes of the ever-ambitious Amanda Gallo. Narrator Lu Hanessian makes the most of Amanda's trials and tribulations, including her limitations at a regional news station and her aspirations to become the lead anchor somewhere else. Hanessian keeps up with the many challenging elements of this story including the dense prose, continually changing scenes, and wide cast of characters. She delivers drama-packed sentences in digestible sections that make for an entertaining listening experience. Listeners will appreciate the prescient plot of an actor turned politician who becomes a regular guest on Amanda's show. M.R. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2017]
