Summary
A quirky owner of a store for used books gives bookworm Coral a messenger bag that appears to actually pull her into novels. Jumping from one genre to the next, she sees, hears, and even smells the action, interacting with characters and literally getting lost in the world of books. It seems like the ultimate escape, yet each novel Coral enters brings her closer to understanding the truth behind a family tragedy and the secret she forgot she was keeping.
A pause-resisting fantasy told with wry humor, The Novel Life of Coral Ambrose is a mystery, romance, Western, horror story, science-fiction epic, thriller, and children’s book all rolled into one. But most of all, it’s the story of finding out who you are in life through books and a love letter to the joy of living between the pages.

I really love the idea of being able to jump into a book and play along with the action. Reminiscent of Jaspar Fforde's "Thursday" series (which I absolutely love) but not as satirical. There was a nice back story to the protagonist interweaved with the book jumping which kept everything tied together and moved the plot along nicely.
The narration was good. Must have been a difficult book to narrate considering the amount of genres and characters that are referenced, but Hogan does a really good job differentiating them all.
Oh, and her British accent was perfectly acceptable. Wasn't too 'plummy' or 'royal' as a lot of non-British people seem to think we sound like :-)
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request via Audioboom and have voluntarily left this review.
Genre-Bending and Quirky Novel
