Tommy Has a Yeast Infection narrated by Anna Tyrie

By: Will Lewis

Narrated by: Anna Tyrie

After getting unfairly downsized, Tommy meets April, the girl of his dreams, when she accidentally runs his bicycle off the road. They seem made for each other. But when he over-indulges in taking prescription medication for a cycling injury, he comes down with an unusual condition for a man - yeast infection.

Tommy has to choose between hiding his embarrassing situation to prepare for a big race, or coming clean with April to grow their budding relationship. The dilemma threatens to derail not only his new romance, but also his once in a lifetime shot at making it to the pros.

Cute story! I'm a sucker for a Romantic Comedy....Also, I'm around cyclists quite a bit so I can appreciate the competition between bikers. Good vs evil! The story follows a classic story arc, it was fun and funny to listen to!

I really found it enjoyable...there were several points I giggled...In particular Tommy's cluelessness about "Canada." And the incident at the drugstore....The embarrassment just went on and on....HA!

Any additional comments?

Adorable story, I may not have picked it up to actually read, but it was so sweet to listen to!

A Romantic Comedy worth reading!

Where does Tommy Has a Yeast Infection for Females rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Tommy Has a Yeast Infection for Females may not be number one, but still would rank among the top audio books that I've heard due to the intuitive story line.

What other book might you compare Tommy Has a Yeast Infection for Females to and why?

Off hand I cannot think of a specific tale that I find Tommy Has a Yeast Infection aligns with. However, it does follow the precedential mold of romantic comedies that came before it: A guy wants a girl, there is an obstacle keeping him from the girl, he does not confront the obstacle head on or is dishonest about the obstacle with himself or others, s*** hits the fan, she forgives him, and they live happily ever after.

Have you listened to any of Anna Tyrie’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This is my first performance by Anna Tyrie. Although I believe as a performer she did a great job, I did slightly wonder the significance of the accent she chose to use in the narration.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The most moving point in the book is in the final race when disaster befalls his childhood bully, and Tommy is faced with the choice of finishing the race to take the gold or to help someone who would not have reciprocated the same selfless act.

One of the Best

What does Anna Tyrie bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Her northern British accent

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

A Different Kind of Yeast

Any additional comments?

Really enjoyed this. It was really funny and well done. Glad Tommy got the girl in the end!

Interesting Listen

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The audio quality was different depending on the character speaking....particularly Tommy's character. If I could change that, it would be to have consistent sound quality throughout.

If you’ve listened to books by Will Lewis before, how does this one compare?

This is my first book by Will Lewis.

What does Anna Tyrie bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The story was difficult for me to follow, at first, due to the heavy accent. After a few minutes, however, I was able to follow the story line just fine.

Was Tommy Has a Yeast Infection for Females worth the listening time?

It was worth it. I love audiobooks and this was an "easy" and carefree storyline.

Any additional comments?

My favorite part of the book was the pharmacy scene. I could picture the scene in my mind and literally laughed out loud!

Querky...witty...definitely for adults

What did you love best about Tommy Has a Yeast Infection for Females?

Quality voices capture the crazy humor of this story. Refreshingly not the norm. Cycling fans should be tickled. Sections of language is definitely rated "R".

What about Anna Tyrie’s performance did you like?

Her lovely British accent is easy on the ears.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I could only image the painful moment when Tommy made the initial "cut". Ugh!

Any additional comments?

Nice selection easily completed during that long commute to and from work on any day.

A whole different kind of "Hell on Wheels"...

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Although I prefer a more heavy duty drama, I would recommend this for friends who like light and entertaining comedy fare.
It's somewhat reminiscent of the old school romantic nutball comedies where the Nice Guy with the best of intentions is hit by one disaster after another - the embarrassment of a clinic visit; a weirdo body painter friend; a biking competitor who has it in for him; an 18-wheeler crushing his beloved racing bike and a rocky road with the girl of his dreams who knows a lot about the birds and bees but doesn't know if she trusts Tommy when she inadvertently catches him in a compromising position with a naked woman.

Would you be willing to try another book from Will Lewis? Why or why not?

Sure, I might give it a try. Part of what I'm interested in is hearing how multiple voices can be utilized in an AudibleScript making it more like a film than a 'normal' AudioBook read by a single narrator. I've co-written a screenplay and am toying with the idea of having it performed by voice actors, so hearing this was very 'educational'..

What about Anna Tyrie’s performance did you like?

Great job! She does a very clean, professional job, although I first found it a little jarring having one distinctively regional British voice weaving its way through a story full of American personalities.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Sometimes a Close Shave can be just the beginning of your problems...

Any additional comments?

The variety of voices help propel the story right along and make it much easier to differentiate the characters than the standard AudioBook with a single voice narration.

Funny, Interesting and Great Pace

Would you listen to Tommy Has a Yeast Infection for Females again? Why?

Yes, I enjoyed the story and while it was clear first time around it would be fun to revisit some months down the line.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Tommy was great - initially I thought he was going to be a bit of a one dimensional "loser" type but he quickly became more complex and interesting. He is human and, while mostly fallible, he is kind and genuine and switched on in his own way.

Have you listened to any of Anna Tyrie’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, but I certainly will. She was easy to listen and kept the pace of the story and remained unobtrusive to it while ensuring it was interesting to listen to. Her voice kept a great variety in it and was never boring or predictable. I thought using a different accent as the narrator helped separate her from the characters too.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Of course, the moment when Tommy is riding up the last inclines of the final race and feels he can't carry on and sees April standing there and she smiles her "genuine" smile.

Any additional comments?

I thoroughly enjoyed the story and never wondered when it would was going to end. The pace kept up throughout and the combination of a great cast and narrator kept me in the story all the way through. All characters were really well played and well differentiated. The story was funny and uplifting. I look forward to the next one!

A very different way of listening to a play

Would you consider the audio edition of Tommy Has a Yeast Infection for Females to be better than the print version?

I loved the way the play was brought alive by the lots of different actors as opposed to just one person. The interraction was great and the comedy timing was very good.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, and so I did. I felt so sorry for the character Tommy with his "problem" and how everything just seemed to go from bad to worse. I needed to see if he had a happy ending so I put it on in the car and ended up carrying it around with me until i'd finished it.

Any additional comments?

It was really good to hear the interview about the book afterwards and find out the reason behind the making of the book and also the reason for recording it the way it was. Would definitely recommend this Audible Script

Any additional comments?

A Cute Story

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Rather than having "actors" portray each voice, I'd have one person do all the narration. At some points the sound was tiny.
