THE MOROSE DELECTATION OF DAVEY MCKIDD
by Kirby Lord
Narrated by: Nick Mercer
Production by: Kirby Lord
Entertaining and Powerful!
Davey’s life is not easy, nor is he loved. Bullies and his abusive father torment Davey daily. Alone, lost, and just wanting to belong, Davey runs away. He doesn’t go far. He encounters other runaways that welcome him happily into their Cardboard City. Davey’s life improved or so he thinks. With every decision, with every wish, there are consequences. Davey just discovered what he sacrificed!
The author, Kirby Lord, designs a story that is captivating and forces one to consider life choices. This reminded me of bits and pieces of the Lord of the Flies and Peter Pan, but with a more realistic foundation to the storyline that allows the listener to relate more closely to Davey and his situation. The characters are well-developed and while disliking the father, one can relate to his sufferings as well – not the father’s behavior but his pain. The story of Davey remains with the listener well after the book ends.
The narrator, Nick Mercer further enhances the storyline with his performance, unique voice, and tonal inflections that bring the story and characters to life. He is perfect for this audiobook!
This is a short listen; it is both entertaining and impactful.
