At First Sight
by Nicolas Sparks
Narrated by David Aaron Baker
Six weeks ago, Jeremy and Lexie fell in love thanks to his intent to disprove the haunting
lights that appeared once a year in the cemetery of a small town called Boone Creek, North
Carolina. Now they face having a baby and getting married - all the while having grown
from complete strangers to two people who are deeply in love in a mere month and a half.
With Lexie being worried about the tongue-wagging gossips to the point of having Jeremy
promise to help her keep the pregnancy a secret and Jeremy suffering from some serious
writer's block due to the stress and mysterious emails about Lexie's mystifying past,
suffering from "cold feet" becomes more of a simple cold compared to the stress and strain
these two endure as they make their way towards their vows.
At First Sight is the sequel to True Believer. Being a huge fan of Jeremy
and Lexie from the first page of the first book, I was thrilled to get the chance to review
this audio. Sparks keeps his readers involved with these beloved characters and the three
dimensional world they inhabit from the get-go. He starts by giving the audience a chance
to catch up on how the couple got together through a character-involved summary of what
happened in True Believer. The drama and emotional roller coaster ride is even more
heightened in this one and be prepared to go through more than one box of tissue before
you even get through the last CD.
David Aaron Baker is the narrator of this book as well as True Believer. I would
recommend listening to both one after another. Baker does an incredible job connecting
both books and keeping with the original vocal acting he used in the first one for this
one. Sparks couldn't have found a better person to narrate such a touching tale. |
