Nice light read, and not nearly as provocative as one might expect from this title.

Peggy Rowe has an amazing voice and energy. A feel good book. Easy listening. The content is a little slow, and not high on plots. But really nice. (I am probably just too accustomed to reading darker grittier nonfiction.)

Boring and pointless, the series was dead two volumes ago

Revisado: 09-13-24

why did I do this to myself? I love the first book of course. not much to be said in favor of the ones after that. just chasing that ghost. excellent performance though.

Touching, compelling. Hadley's voice is lovely. The story is well crafted, written, and edited.
Some will want to know that it's not very graphic at all, even though it deals with illness and death.
Also, it's uplifting, but not religious or preachy, IMO.
Could have been MUCH longer and I'd have loved every minute of it. I hope Hadley writes more in future.

classy production

Excellent quality. It is in my top three recordings of this story. If you've never heard it, this is a great reading to start with.

Go read the one star reviews hahaha

Revisado: 02-25-24

For fans of this book, the one star reviews will be pretty funny.
I think this book is abridged. Excellent performance though. Gold.

helpful. clarity. hope. overviews all aspects. some chapters feel a bit like a book review of someone else's books, but quite effective; I'll be reading those next.

what a tired voice

Revisado: 10-11-23

A few years ago, the first few chapters of this book changed my life. Since I don't have time to sit and read, I thought the audiobook would be a good option. However, Melody's voice is so hard to listen to, because she sounds so tired and maybe vocal cords damaged? On some chapters it sounded like she was just about at the end of her voice. I found it so distracting that I stopped listening to the book three quarters of the way through because I wasn't picking up on any of its content the whole time. I've been forcing myself to do a chapter a day but got nothing out of it. I guess I'm going to have to get the print copy at some point unless I can find a different reader. Usually I love things read by the author. It's just more genuine. The content of his book itself is incredible though.

weird but interesting ... but becomes tedious.

Revisado: 09-27-23

This is an adult reviewing a YA book, so this review is skewed. interesting concept. Chapter one was so very strange, but definitely intriguing. Gave up halfway through the book when it turned into neverending chapter after chapter of fighting off various mythical creatures, but without sufficiently interesting main characters to make it worth the fight. I started skipping chapters, and I am not that curious to know how this ends. In that way, it is very much like reading the Odyssey.
The writing is very clear and everything is explained concisely.
The narrator is very talented. The voice she chose for the main character who tells it in first person is annoying, but the main character is a teenage girl.
I think I would have gotten bogged down at about the same place if I were a teen. Just like I did reading the Odyssey.

5 stars (from this very critical person)

Revisado: 09-04-23

It was so much more than I expected. I expected just stories, biographies. I needed to hear their projection of forgiveness as a lifestyle. The world needs this book. I love it and will be re-reading it. What a lovely, practical application of the Bible.
It may be a bit heavy for some, and maybe not suitable for very young folks, as its subject matter and stories are difficult (violence, abuse, sexual abuse, abortion, infidelity, suicide, drug use, etc.)
The performance: at first, I was unhappy that the narrators were kind of sing-songy, but it turned out that it kept the serious, darker realities from getting depressing. Thumbs up.

I love the story as much as I did when I was a teen (about 3 decades ago.) Beautiful. This series has touched generations of my family.
Narration EXCELLENT. Thanks for making this audiobook.
