review 1: The book:First, let me say that I am a fan of Andrew Grey and I am a huge fan of the Geek/Jock story, so this hit my buttons in a big way. I like that Andrew made Brendon a strong if very naïve geek and that the relationship between him and Josh wasn’t a typical “I am your hero since I am so big” type of relationship. It was very sweet, pretty short, and had a little hot sex to make it an all around good read.The audible:So, I don’t know how many of you read the book before the audio version or vice versa or one and not the other, but – so far in my experience – I have always read the book first. This is important to note, because it means that I had already formed pre-conceived notions about the “voice” of the MCs. That being said, I think that Nick J... more Russo did a good job. His voice is smooth and nice to listen to. He tries really hard to give all the characters a separate “voice” and though this can be distracting at times, it’s also a nice touch. It helps to keep clear who is doing the speaking.Josh’s “character” as read by Nick wasn’t how I would have read him (at all) – but it wasn’t bad, just different. Brendon is done very well, and matches what I would have imagined.Nick tries to add in appropriate emotion and (ahem) groans where appropriate and that’s also a nice touch.As a staunch proponent of reading then listening – I will say again that this is a good interpretation, and certainly worth listening to, even if you haven’t read it first.Story: 4 out of 5 heartsAudible version : 4 out of 5 hearts
review 2: Organic Chemistry is a sweet love story between Brendon, a young genius professor, and Josh, a new assistant football coach. It is an easy, quick read and I enjoyed both of the MCs, especially Brendon. He has difficulty understanding people, especially non-verbal cues, sarcasm, and university politics. He probably has some type of condition, but I liked how Andrew Grey did not focus on a diagnosis, but rather on who Brendon was and how he worked to overcome his difficulties. Josh was a strong character who went after what he wanted and stood up for himself and Brendon. I enjoyed that he was openly gay - even in the face of negativity from some people - and tried to teach his players about respect. The Halloween display at the end of the story was a lot of fun! less
