Not just another Twilight

Revisado: 12-09-16

I was skeptical of this, but the story isn't just another Twilight. It's funny in a witty and dark way, and it's a strong addition to vampire stories. I really enjoyed this listen!

Finished in less than 2 days

Revisado: 09-13-16

The first few lines are rough, with the character's accent, but your ear adjusts and you're sucked into the story and you won't want to stop listening. I couldn't stop and finished the book in less than 2 days. It was amazing.

Slow to start but worth it!

Revisado: 07-05-16

The narration is fabulous. The story is a bit slow at the beginning, I almost gave up on it. But, once it gets going, it's great and you'll be hooked!

Setting, story, narration: all solid!

Revisado: 07-09-14

Just about perfect. The story is great, with a strong setting that reveals the peacefulness and wildness of the west at once. The main character is strong and sassy and smart and irresponsible, but completely like-able. Mystery and adventure are weaved into the story, and I just guarantee that you'll love it! I'm SERIOUS about my audiobooks, and this one is a big hit!

Good ideas, awkward application

Revisado: 07-09-14

This book feels more like a description of the ultimate library with a fun game than an actual story. Yes, there's a story weaved into it, but it feels like the story is second to all of the fun ideas. The narration is a little clunky and doesn't add to the story. I am an avid audiobook listener, but I couldn't even get all the way through this one.

Good idea... but too long.

Revisado: 02-26-13

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

The book has a great concept- but it was much longer than it needed to be. At times I would "zone out", and when I came back, there hadn't been much progress. By then end of the book, I just wanted to finish! The pace didn't pick up at the end, when you knew what was going to happen at the end.

Would you be willing to try another book from Scott Westerfeld? Why or why not?

Probably not. This book was very long winded.

Did Carine Montbertrand do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

The voices were clear, but very nasal. Some characters voices were VERY annoying.

Thick Story

Revisado: 08-10-12

Any additional comments?

The first part got me hooked, but by the end I just felt like it was dragging. I wanted to finish, of course, but it was a little bit of a chore to listen to the end.

Entertaining! But odd voice.

Revisado: 08-10-12

Any additional comments?

The story is really funny and entertaining, but I'm not so into the delivery. I'd still give it a thumbs up, though!

Enthralling story- forceful voice

Revisado: 08-10-12

Would you consider the audio edition of Unwind to be better than the print version?

Not sure

Any additional comments?

The story just really sucks you in and is totally great! The voice is very firm, almost like like an announcement over a PA system. When he does the character voices, it sounds great! It's still one of my favorite audiobooks, though!
