REVIEW: Fast-Paced, “Page-Turning” Audiobook

Falling by T. J. Newman is a fast-paced audiobook but not for the faint of heart, especially if you’re a frequent flyer. However, if you’re looking for an action-entertainment audiobook to keep you motivated to move, Newman’s break-out novel is a great pick.

You might remember the narrator, Steven Weber, for his role as Brian Hackett on the television series Wings, which aired from April 1990 to May 1997. However, Weber has close to forty audiobook titles under his belt as an audiobook narrator and is becoming one of The Walking Book Club’s favorite male voice actors. Thus, we give Falling almost five Sneakers for the Quality of Narration.
