THE SKY INSIDE

Dunkle's Orwellian tale of perfect people living in a seemingly perfect world is vivid and imaginative. The encapsulated world is stale--the people brainwashed to believe they have ideal lives. But it's all about to break wide open. Narrator Bruce Turk offers a solid reading that captures this world perfectly. His firm delivery is never overly emotional or theatrical. As Turk creates the bland and hopeless atmosphere of Dunkle's story, a stunning sense of foreboding comes through. While Turk offers a variety of voices for the story's colorful characters, he's at his best when depicting the mysterious setting. L.B. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2008]
