Did Angèle Masters do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

The main characters were clearly defined. The less important people took some sorting out,

Outstanding mixture of suspense and humanity

Revisado: 09-24-16

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

It's a great read. The suspense is combined with authentic characters. There's a touch of magic to add zest. The main plot is recovery from PTSD.

The relationship between Blackthorn and Grim. It develops from mere toleration to friendship and mutual understanding,

Which character – as performed by the narrators – was your favorite?

Blackthorn and Grim balanced each other. Neither alone would have been enough.

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

Outstanding

What made the experience of listening to Trancehack the most enjoyable?

The sci-fi, romance and characters are all believable. I would like see this book continued into a series.

What did you like best about this story?

Neither the romance or the sci-fi overwhelmed the characterizations. The people behaved in the context of the society. I want to know what happens to the politics. Apartheid is inherent unstable. In the midst of the politics, people did their best to be happy.

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

I think she makes Calla, Nate and the club owner come to life.

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

Happiness in the face of injustice.

Any additional comments?

The description didn't do the story justice. I almost didn't listen to it. I'm glad I did.

Very powerful, very disturbing

What did you love best about Doomsday Book?

It was about world changing events in terms of the humans involved. It wasn't a history book. It was a human story in historic times.

What other book might you compare Doomsday Book to and why?

I would compare it to Catching Fire. It also was about ordinary people doing their best in horrible times.

What about Jenny Sterlin’s performance did you like?

She had the good sense to let the power of the story shine.

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

People survive even Doomsday.

Lots of fun

Revisado: 02-26-12

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Seen as a fairy tale, it was fun and enjoyable. It was a bit light on the character development.

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

It was lighter and less realistic.

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

She did a good job.

Do you think A Kiss at Midnight needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

The story itself couldn't be continued, but another fairy tale set in regency England might be fun.

Karen's Worst Book

Revisado: 02-26-12

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

I love Karen Robards' books. But this one and it's sequel are horrible. The characters are not true to life. They are so exaggerated and one dimensional. It was too painful to listen to the entire book.

Has Island Flame turned you off from other books in this genre?

No. I've read enough of Karen Robards books to ignore these two.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Justine Eyre?

The writing was so bad that no narrator could have improved it.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Island Flame?

The whole book

Terrible editing

Revisado: 01-16-11

The Audible version of this is messed up so much that the plot is impossible to follow. I checked out this audiobook from the library and I liked it. The story was not all jumbled up. Audible needs to do some work on their version.
