Outing myself as a total dork, if that wasn’t already apparent. I loved the books as a kid and read them a couple times through. The show was quite bad (and understandably cancelled), but one great outcome was her audiobook versions (at least the first 4 of the series). I don’t even like audiobooks, but Pike brings the story to life in a theatrical and charming way that makes them impossible to stop listening.
Not very cool girl of me but i’ve been meaning to watch the movies since forever and i couldn’t find them anywhere. So i found the audiobooks on spotify and here we are, listening to a grown man do weird voices for nine hours.
I have listened to all the books in the past few months. Now I am on the last few hours of the final book, I don't want it to end. The narrator, Jim Dale <3, is an absolute gem. This is pure joy, whimsy and magic but it also has made me cry. 10/10
I listened to this last summer and here I am again. Maggie’s voice just feels right for some reason. never contrived, like she’s genuinely reading pages of her own diary. I don’t think I really need to say much about the book or its author, that’s already been said by many
