Do you like it when books are narrated in unique styles? I had heard of The Appeal and really wanted
to read it. I didn’t get to it yet, but
I was excited to get a chance to review The Christmas Appeal. It is a unique story told through a variety
of mediums including emails, text messages, police reports, etc. A full cast brought the story to life.
The Fairway Players are putting on a production of
Jack and the Beanstalk for the Christmas season. The production is trying to get going with
arguing players, missing players, egos, etc.
During the first production, a dead skeleton in a Santa suit appears on
stage bursting out from the beanstalk.
How did the dead body get into the beanstalk and why?
I thought the way this story was told was very
innovative. I also loved how the mystery
went in one direction and was seemingly solved, but then the real story was revealed
at the end. The story was very engaging
on audiobook, and I enjoyed also reading along in the physical book. I loved trying to figure out the mystery, but
I also loved the humor as well. This is a standout audiobook production. If you love audiobooks, you should definitely
try this one out.
This is meant to be a follow-up to The Appeal, but I
read it fine as a standalone novel. I do
want to go back and read The Appeal now.
