Does he like Eragon?Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01299610611688148134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4462687717661471758.post-58325983839402090802009-05-19T14:57:00.000-05:002009-05-19T14:57:00.000-05:00We LOVED Tim Curry as narrator of A Series of Unfo...We LOVED Tim Curry as narrator of A Series of Unfortunate Events! He was perfect and very funny.<br /><br />I haven't read the Charlie Bone books myself, but both of my sons are big fans of the series. In fact, this series was a turning point for my 11-year old son this year. He has good reading skills but didn't enjoy reading (he'd rather be active!). Early in the school year, he'd just barely slide by on meeting his reading goals by reading a bunch of Hardy Boys books or other quick reads. Then, he discovered Charlie Bone! He read every book in the series, and blew away his reading goals for school. Reading that series gave him more confidence as a reader, and he's now almost through Eragon - a huge step from the Hardy Boys!<br /><br />I'll have to read the books myself one of these days, since my boys love them so much. Thanks for the great review.<br /><br />SueSue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4462687717661471758.post-30369098185805877202009-05-18T12:04:00.000-05:002009-05-18T12:04:00.000-05:00I read the first four Leminy Snickets books, and g...I read the first four Leminy Snickets books, and got bored, but I've been told that Tim Curry does such a great job reading that it makes the books good to listen to. I might try that. I love Tim Curry, and you're right, he should never be replaced by anyone!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026099426503180472noreply@blogger.com
