Saving Shiloh Book

This is the final book to the Shiloh trilogy. I have been listening to it in my car. I found it to be very exciting. I would recommend listening to this book on cassette or CD, rather than reading it. The background music heightened the suspense and the reader was excellent. He enhanced the story. I found myself holding my breath a number of times, as I listened. I could see using this book in a classroom as a read aloud, especially listening to it on tape or CD. That alone could be a lesson in the importance of reading fluently. The reader can make all the difference. I didn't like "Shiloh Season," which I also listened to on audio tape, as much. I wonder though if it is because I didn't like the way it was read, or if it was the story. That is something else that could be shared with students. Can a reader enhance a story or does it matter one way or the other?
