Narration distracting

Revisado: 07-29-16

Like others have said, I'm not a fan of the narration. Several times I wanted to give up on the story but I wanted to know what happened to Elliott.

Please remake this with a native speaker or with someone who does not try to do voices?

Great story but..

Revisado: 07-28-15

I love this story but just like everyone else said, the quality is poor. And weird. Please remake this with better audio!

Enjoyed the narrator and Pratchett always makes me laugh.

Is this the world we want? Sameness?

Revisado: 10-05-14

What did you love best about The Giver?

I love that the book is capable of making even the youngest reader think about their family unit and where they fit in and how they function.

What did you like best about this story?

It's discussion of society; what's acceptable and what isn't.

Which character – as performed by Ron Rifkin – was your favorite?

I loved Rifkin's performance of Asher. I can imagine his face through his laughter.

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

I was particularly moved when I realized, along with Jonas, how the baby was released.

Any additional comments?

It's no wonder this book is always on someone's required reading shelf. it was dystopian for kids back before dystopian was an every day word! I love this story; it's so good on so many levels and the lessons can be adapted depending on the child's age group. Why is it that we like to read about societies in which everything is the same? Is that how we as readers feel? Do we feel trapped in a world of bland, boring sameness? Or is this our greatest fear? I'm not sure what the answer is, I just know I love exploring these worlds. Maybe the answer is that if enough kids read these kinds of books they will create a world where differences are celebrated and valuable to society?

I dunno.

I'm Angry, I'm Moved, I'm in Disbeilief

Revisado: 10-03-14

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

Yes. Audiobooks make nonfiction so much more tolerable.

What did you like best about this story?

That she lived.

Which scene was your favorite?

The introduction in which Malala reads in her own voice.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I was angry. I cried.

Any additional comments?

Wow. How incredibly moving and powerful this child's ideas are. The monsters who kill children in the name of religion? I don't get it. I also don't get why we were uninformed about so much of Pakistan's suffering. I've learned so much.

One of the top 3.

What did you like best about this story?

I liked hearing the same story from different viewpoints.

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

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

no idea.

Any additional comments?

Wow. What a powerful little book. A must read for everyone about tolerance, belief in oneself, kindness, friendship, and something else. I got teary at the ending, difficult to do on a plane.

More Nonstop Action!

Revisado: 10-03-14

Would you listen to Storm again? Why?

Perhaps with a different narrator.

What did you like best about this story?

I love that it's nonstop action from start to finish.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

I wasn't thrilled with the voice of the narrator. It was too scratchy or something. I liked him imitation of the non American voices but that's all.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

no.

Any additional comments?

The first book in the series, SYLO, introduces us to the main characters and the problems erupting on Pemberwick Island in Maine. It's fast paced from jump and appeals to boys and girls. Its perfect for young teens who aren't quite ready for Divergent type books but might be a tad too old for standard middle grade novels.

SYLO

Then comes Storm, book two.

STORM



More non stop action! Plus you get a tour of the US and I learned some things about Nevada and not just that Las Vegas is there. I cannot wait to get my hands on the last book. Trust no one, you hear so often in the book it makes you wonder.

I love that this series is head rushing from start to finish. I listened in my car through my Audible app on the phone so I couldn't wait to get in my car and drive!

When Minho and Thomas survive the night in the maze.

Which character – as performed by Mark Deakins – was your favorite?

I love Mark's characterization of Newt.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I was hurt at the end. I can't believe what happened to Chuck. I actually thought it would be Newt.

Any additional comments?

If you are a reader of books that you should get this book. If you like dystopian you should get this book. If you like boys you should get this book. If you like coming of age you should get this book. If you like good books you should get this book!
