“I’ve listened to this show for over 15 years and to me Mr. Silverblat is the most perceptive reader & author interviewer I know of (not unlike Elvis Mitchell in his own field of study- film). Often authors say that no other reader/interviewer had observed their work as accurately, even seeing things the authors themselves never noted.
Frankly, out of the hundreds of Bookworms I’ve listened to, I’ve maybe read five of the books featured. I’m not as much of the reader I’d like to be, yet it doesn’t make the show any less enjoyable to me. It’s more about enjoying the inner workings of the authors creativity.
Up until about five years ago the intro music was a charming old Disney song sung by Jiminy Cricket about books. The intro music now is absolutely awful in my opinion- superficial and banal, and quite unlike the show itself. It’s terribly ironic.”
