In a fading town, far from anyone he knew or trusted, a young Lemony Snicket began his apprenticeship in an organization nobody knows about. He began asking questions that shouldn't have been on his mind. In this title, he has written an account that should not be published and shouldn't be listened to.

the genius I have come to expect from Snicket

I love this story. It has the same quirky sense of humor that I love so much in A Series of Unfortunate Events, with deep truths about humanity woven casually into a very interesting story with great characters.
Liam Aiken is a pleasure to listen to.

Could you survive on your own, in the wild, with everyone out to make sure you don't live to see the morning? In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by 12 outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV.

one of my favorite books of all time
Revisado: 04-13-16
the good: this book is fun, inspiring, thought-provoking, terrifying, tragic, gripping and just all around wonderful.
the bad: don't listen to it! read the real book! the narrator is bad! not only are her impressions of characters really far from their personalities (especially Katniss's), but they keep changing. She can't hold a voice or accent very well on any of the characters. I would have really preferred that she didn't try voices or accents at all. And she can't do a man's voice very well, again, she shouldn't have tried. She was trying too hard to be as expressive as possible and it just sounded goofy.
they should have gotten the girl who did Divergent to do this one. I don't like that book at all, but the narrator was spot on for a serious dystopian YA teenage girl first person story.

very slow and narrator is not good
Revisado: 06-05-15
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
If you like being pulled into an interesting world and aren't too hung up on where the story is going, you may like this book better than I did.
Would you ever listen to anything by P.D. James again?
Hmm...unlikely. Unless a trusted friend told me it was REALLY good and it had a different narrator.
What didn’t you like about David Case’s performance?
Let me make a list.
1 - He sounds dismissive, snotty & elitist
2 - He tries to do accents and different voices for people and they are just terrible. One guy just sounds like he's dying.
3 - It's clearly an old recording that needs to be redone. It's fuzzy and you can hear him stop to take sips of water, and whatnot.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
I found it to be an interesting idea but I was a little disappointed by the execution. I felt like this was not even close to how people would react in this situation, plus a LOT of nothing happened in this book. A LOT.
Any additional comments?
I read this as part of a book club and a lot of the ladies liked it better than me, so...that's something!
