À propos de cet audio
Long-listed, Barnes and Noble Best New Books of the Year, 2023
"Narrator Daniel Henning demonstrates perfect comedic timing and impressive vocal versatility in this queer/sci-fi retelling of 'Pinocchio.' This laugh-out-loud, emotional audiobook asks listeners to question what it means to be human."—AudioFile Magazine (Earphones Award Winner)
"Narrator Daniel Henning does a phenomenal job capturing Gio’s fatherliness and Vic’s early naivete, and he positively shines as the heartless, bloodthirsty Nurse Ratched and the anxiety-ridden robot vacuum Rambo."—Library Journal
New York Times bestselling author TJ Klune invites you deep into the heart of a peculiar forest and on the extraordinary journey of a family assembled from spare parts.

“An enchanting tale of Pinocchio in the end times.”—P. Djèlí Clark
In a strange little home built into the branches of a grove of trees, live three robots—fatherly inventor android Giovanni Lawson, a pleasantly sadistic nurse machine, and a small vacuum desperate for love and attention. Victor Lawson, a human, lives there too. They’re a family, hidden and safe.
The day Vic salvages and repairs an unfamiliar android labelled “HAP,” he learns of a shared dark past between Hap and Gio–a past spent hunting humans.
When Hap unwittingly alerts robots from Gio’s former life to their whereabouts, the family is no longer hidden and safe. Gio is captured and taken back to his old laboratory in the City of Electric Dreams. So together, the rest of Vic’s assembled family must journey across an unforgiving and otherworldly country to rescue Gio from decommission, or worse, reprogramming.
Along the way to save Gio, amid conflicted feelings of betrayal and affection for Hap, Vic must decide for himself: Can he accept love with strings attached?
Inspired by Carlo Collodi's The Adventures of Pinocchio, and like Swiss Family Robinson meets Wall-E, In the Lives of Puppets is a masterful stand-alone fantasy adventure from the beloved author who brought you The House in the Cerulean Sea and Under the Whispering Door.
★ “An epic quest of rescue and discovery [with] the author’s trademark charm, heart, and bittersweetness.”—Library Journal, starred review

Histoire
When a reaper comes to collect Wallace Price from his own funeral, Wallace suspects he really might be dead. Instead of leading him directly to the afterlife, the reaper takes him to a small village. On the outskirts, off the path through the woods, tucked between mountains, is a particular tea shop, run by a man named Hugo. Hugo is the tea shop's owner to locals and the ferryman to souls who need to cross over.

Nick Bell? Not extraordinary. But being the most popular fan-fiction writer in the Extraordinaries fandom is a superpower, right? After a chance encounter with Shadow Star, Nova City’s mightiest hero (and Nick’s biggest crush), Nick sets out to make himself extraordinary. And he’ll do it with or without the reluctant help of Seth Gray, Nick's best friend (and maybe the love of his life).

Histoire
Do you believe in love at first sight? Paul Auster doesn't. Paul doesn't believe in much at all. He's thirty, slightly overweight, and his best features are his acerbic wit and the color commentary he provides as life passes him by. His closest friends are a two-legged dog named Wheels and a quasibipolar drag queen named Helena Handbasket. He works a dead-end job in a soul-sucking cubicle, and if his grandmother's homophobic parrot insults him one more time, Paul is going to wring its stupid neck.

Without an academic endorsement to make him valuable to the high fey, Saffron will be sent back through the veil to the human world. The place he was traded from as a changeling-baby, and a place he is terrified of. And while getting an endorsement shouldn't be impossible, it's hindered by the fact his literacy is self-taught, using books stolen off of Morrígan Academy's campus of high fey students.

Three years ago, Bear McKenna’s mother took off for parts unknown with her new boyfriend, leaving Bear to raise his six-year-old brother Tyson, aka the Kid. Somehow they’ve muddled through, but since he’s totally devoted to the Kid, Bear isn’t actually doing much living. With a few exceptions, he’s retreated from the world, and he’s mostly okay with that - until Otter comes home. Otter is Bear’s best friend’s older brother, and as they’ve done for their whole lives, Bear and Otter crash and collide in ways neither expect.

Ce que les critiques en disent
“Readers who loved Klune’s previous works will find plenty of the author’s trademark charm, heart, and bittersweet.”—Library Journal, starred review
"In the Lives of Puppets is a powerful story of humanity and what survives after we're gone. Do the new inheritors of this earth forge a new path? Or are they destined to repeat the mistakes of their makers? TJ Klune has created an enchanting tale of Pinocchio in the end times, offering up hard truths alongside humor, kindness, love and, most important, hope."—P. Djèlí Clark
"I dare say I am yet to read more humane robots than I've encountered in In the Lives of Puppets. This kind, caring, hopeful humanity that Klune weaves into his work tugs at the heartstrings. There are passages so affecting within, I had to pause. This was brilliantly offset by moments of levity. Literature at its very best opens up the potential of a better world than the one we're currently in. Klune's vision of a more considerate and compassionate society is immensely powerful. One can't help but fall in love with this book."—T.L. Huchu

Another beautiful story
Another beautifully written story about love and forgiveness. Not my favourite of all his work (Under the Whispering Door is my favourite) but beautiful none the less.
Love the narration and different character voices.
Thanks TJ for this.

Not his best
I wanted to love this book based on past ones written by this author but finally turned it off. Just didn’t grasp me and never really wanted to know what happened to characters. Certain incomplete themes seemed to emerge but just didn’t feel the writing and storyline was engaging or meaningful. Too bad because I loved the Cerulean Sea so much!!

Terrible
This is an awful book. I have read tons of sci-fi over my life and this book is just a complete disappointment. It came recommended from goodread and I just can’t believe how far off it was. This was going to be a DNF, but I struggled through and it was not redeeming. My issue with it is it should be Young Adult fiction and the characters were 9-tween in their dialog, but these moments of sexuality and violence meant for adults. its like a blender of genres with a bit of a creepy dude feel. like coming of age as an adult would see it not as a kid. blech. don't bother unless you want to feel weirded out for a few hours..

Absolutely insufferable
Found this to be such an irritating story and performance. The story was not good. It was so on the nose and simple. Besides some random sexual content it felt like a book for children. The narration and the voices he chose for the characters was like nails on chalk board. Got about 60% through. Couldnt finish 👎👎

Juvenile coming of age asexual Pinochio meets R2D2
This book doesn't stand alone on its scifi merits. sure asexual coming of age stories are relevent but the rest of the book doesnt justify its reading.

A fairly slow kids book?
I really tried to like it, got about two hours in. It felt increasingly like a kids book - endless banter between robots, trying way too hard to be cute. Really slow progression. Neat narrative idea, but characters felt flat, and the narration was over done to the point of being annoying.
