Deal of the Week at Downpour
Damned by Chuck Palahniuk -- narrated by Tai Sammons -- unabridged (8.0 hrs)
Quote:
“Palahniuk’s twelfth novel is just as gleefully, vividly, hilariously obscene as you’d expect—and it’s also a hell of a lot of fun…As a young adult novel, it’s surprisingly sweet, hopeful, and empowering; as a satire, it’s funny, irreverent, and hugely entertaining.” -- NPR
“Narrator Tai Sammons delivers a stellar reading in which she captures the essence of Madison. Her dialect, delivery, and tone are perfectly suited to that of a thirteen-year-old who’s having a really, really bad day. Listening to Sammons’ narration is an intimate experience as her rendition of Madison pours her heart out and prays her words won’t fall only on dead ears.” -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“The story scoots along like any great adventure story, as she takes on Hitler and Catherine de Medici, and it’s a delight seeing Madison find her place in life, even if it’s in death.” -- Booklist
