I shot my (body part) (direction) to write this review

Revisado: 11-14-24

Wow, I can't believe this book got published as written. The story itself is okay if pretty gross, but the writing is terrible. I think at one point a character shot a body part in a direction 3 or 4 sentences in a row. Other characters "thinned their eyelids" or "rounded their eyes" a few times, rather than narrowing or widening them. I almost did not finish this book because of just how frequently people shot various body parts up, down, out, and over, and how bad Douglas is at describing actions. I will not be finishing this series.

Someone please get Penelope a dictionary, thesaurus, and better editor ASAP.

I don't get the praise for the narration here

Revisado: 02-19-21

The story was decent, but the narrator does the worst, most insulting "southern" accent I've heard. It sounds like someone thought Nathan from South Park had a southern accent and tried to use his voice as reference. Can't understand some of what the characters say because he makes the words so slurred and mushy. I couldn't help but picture every character who had a southern accent as also having Down's syndrome and that pretty much ruined the book for me.

Not for me.

Bland, boring rip-off of Tolkien. I couldn't finish it. Scott Brick does a decent job of narrating, but the story is just so predictable and insipid that I doubt any narrator could do any better.

Very similar to the TV show

Revisado: 01-01-14

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I enjoyed it, though I can see why it wouldn't appeal to some. I got the book because I had watched the show and was hoping that the book would clarify some things from the show; it did, but not the ones I was hoping for.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I don't really have a favorite character. Of them all, I dislike Shelly and Destiny the least.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

Not really. The narration was probably the worst thing about this audiobook. Runnette just sounded bored most of the time.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

It's already a tv show, and I have seen it. It follows the book probably 90% of the time.

Any additional comments?

I would describe this book as hipster urban fantasy. I don't know if we're supposed to take it at face value or if it's a commentary on books and tv shows like Twilight and The Vampire Diaries.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Only the ones who are Twilight fans. It's cheesy, predictable, filled with cliches and terrible dialogue, and has Mary Sue as a main character.

Has Tiger's Curse turned you off from other books in this genre?

No.

What three words best describe Annika Boras and Sanjiv Jahveri ’s voice?

Annika Boras: awkwardly long pauses Sanjiv Jahveri: excessive "ethnic" accent

Could you see Tiger's Curse being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Unfortunately, yes, I could easily see this becoming the next Twilight. I don't care who would act in it.

Any additional comments?

This book was painfully bad and I don't recommend it.
