Review: Call Numbers by Syntell Smith read by P.G. Hammock
Call Numbers is the first book in a new series written by former New York Library employee and blogger turned author Syntell Smith. With Call Numbers , Mr. Smith invites the reader into the tumultuous life of employees in the mid-1990s.
Who would have thought that librarians and their colleagues could have such interesting, palpitating and captivating lives!
Starting from the premise that life is a book…and every person is a chapter, we will witness the each day drama of said employees as they are navigating their interpersonal relationships and other challenges.
I enjoyed very much the flowing and easy to follow writing style, the well drawn lifelike characters and the tribulations each of them has to endure.
The audiobook production of Call Numbers is recorded by P.G. Hammock. He does a terrific job with the narration, assigning and performing individual voices for each of the main characters, reading in a strong, powerful voice and infusing the story with just the right amount of drama. Although this was my first time listening to this narrator, the more than 13 hours of the audio production passed in a very entertaining way and I can’t wait to get my ears on the next book in this series.
Fans of workplace dramas such as The Office or the West Wing should definitely give Call Numbers by Syntell Smith a try, especially since the audiobook version has the benefit of a superb narrator.
