SPLINTER

The action-filled plot and full roster of characters in SPLINTER would present a challenge to any narrator. Sean Mangan shows himself to be more than equal to the task. Listeners will appreciate how he capably handles the story's fast pace with a sense of urgency and intensity appropriate to the involved plot without sacrificing clarity or becoming overly emotional. His talent as an audio performer is also obvious as he presents the numerous characters. Mangan's limited use of accents and distinctive voices is effective in helping listeners keep identities straight. The listener will find that Mangan's performance enhances the overall experience of this book. M.O.B. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2009]
