A Reader's Opinion
Story: This is one of my favorite Nora Roberts trilogies, and I've read it half a dozen times. The story is fun, mysterious, has a nice dose of dry humor, plenty of romance and suspense. Set on a picturesque island off the coast of Massachusetts, Three Sisters is quintessentially New England. The characters in all three books are well written and developed, though I have a special fondness for Nell and Zach in book one, and MacAllister in book two. Ripley (book two) and Sam (book three) are also delightful. Mia (book three) is the only character I never quite enjoyed, no matter how many times I've read the books, but don't let her stop you from enjoying a great trilogy.
Narration: Sandra Burr did a great job narrating these books, and though the male voices left something to be desired, she can't be faulted for not pulling off the sexy male voices I hear when reading the dialogue. I was easily caught up in the story rather than be distracted by the voices, which in my opinion, is a mark of a good narrator. The sound quality was excellent.
Overall: Recommended.
Edition: I listened to the abridged version of this collection read by Sandra Burr. If you have read the trilogy, you'll be able to mentally fill in the gaps. If you haven't read the trilogy, I strongly recommend getting the unabridged version, which is now available. The abridged version cuts out what I believed were valuable glimpses into the characters' lives.
