Butchered names

Revisado: 01-25-25

I finished the book in hard copy from the library. I could only take so many butchered Barbaras and Rogers before I started hating everything. Speak with an accent all of the time or none of the time. If you’re going to choose the accent, DO IT CORRECTLY.

Awkward accents and badly written characters.

Revisado: 10-03-23

This was just terrible. I love this series and this is one we should pretend doesn’t exist.

And it’s park-A not Parker.

Awesome story, great narrator, not a great work for an audible book

Revisado: 09-14-22

This review is going to seem a little strange, because I absolutely loved the story, and loved the depths in this one. There was so much going on, I really couldn’t figure it out until the end. The narrator is incredible, I always enjoy his work. However, this was the single most annoying audiobook I’ve ever listened to. If I wasn’t so engaged in the story I would have returned it in a heartbeat. Listening to Twitter conversations being read is the most annoying thing I’ve ever had to endure. Constant at signs, timestamps and dates— oh my God I wanted to put Q-tips in my ears.

Odd choice but I LOVED it.

Revisado: 03-01-22

Let me start by saying the narrator is one of my favorites of all time. That being said, it seems like an extremely odd choice to have an American reading in an American accent play a British man. The colloquialisms he uses just sound strange read with an American tone of voice (mum is just weird in midwesterner). A lot of the other characters, in fact all of them, are all British and they all have wonderful accents. It was just strange! The story was amazing, I can’t wait for the next to be just as weird in terms of language and just as wonderful in story.

Decent book but what the heck?

Revisado: 04-21-21

The storyline was definitely different and I enjoyed it. I have a HUGE issue with the audio— there is a back and forth between male and female narrators – which is totally fine— it was actually kind of fun at some points. BUT! The main character had a ridiculous Caribbean accent with only the male narrator and an English accent with the female narrator and it was so incredibly outrageously annoying. WTF?

Good book, small annoyances

Revisado: 07-29-17

From a story stand point, I stayed interested and keep guessing until the end -- but that's because major bombshells were dropped every time the story made sense and you could piece it all together. It made it more dramatic yes, and but I just imagined a kid sometimes going AND THEN WHAT HAPPENED?!

As for the narration, I thought they did a great job. I was just thrown off by a detective... apparently the character was female (which was important to the story) but in the audio version the characters voice is definitely male. I was so confused I stopped the book and had to research online. I thought I missed a character somehow but they just r

Excellent story but the idiot white people voice?

Revisado: 07-03-17

Would you listen to The Hate U Give again? Why?

No, I loved the story but hated the narration.

What did you like best about this story?

I loved the characters so much I couldn't help but cry with and for them.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

She used the most ridiculous valley girl and moronic jock voices for any and all white characters.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, I loved the story but the voices made me angry.
