So Bad

Revisado: 03-06-18

Really really wanted to like it. The story is so far reaching and the performances are "put on" and stiff.

I have never rolled my eyes so much while listening to a podcast or book.

Great for your next gone girl fix

Revisado: 02-05-16

Love the book. Wonderful narration performance by Khristine Hvam. I find myself constantly looking for new well written book similar to Gone Girl, the Silent Wife, the Secret History and this book definitely hit the spot. I couldn't stop listening to it and devoured it in a day.

Very Disappointing

Revisado: 01-03-14

The first two books in this series were so amazing and exciting, I couldn't wait to read this book.

It was a major disappointment. It feels as though it doesn't belong in the series, it just happens to have some of the same characters.

I think one reason why it is so strange is the style of the books changes. In the first two books the story is told from one perspective. In this book it changes to a dual narration. This sort of change doesn't work for a trilogy when the style has already been established.

It was a hard hard book to get through.

It didn't have the same intrigue and tension that the other two did.

Other reviews have said the book was depressing. I don't know if I agree with that. It's fine for a book to be dark especially these dystopian ones.

Its just boring.

Captivating

Revisado: 08-15-13

A book that you can't stop thinking about once you've finished. If you liked Gone Girl or The Secret History, this would be a good one to add on to your list.

Read it

Revisado: 08-11-13

I loved the book, it's a very different spin on magic. The other reviews definitely have it right there.

I unfortunately did not like the narration. It took me 4 or 5 tries to start listening to the book because the narration could not bring me in. I think its rare to find a male narrator that can do female voices well. They always sound weak and annoying. Jim Dale, is an example of one who reads very well, and character voices do not bother me. I think a different narrator would have changed the whole experience in a better way.

Ridiculous Premise... but enjoyed it nonetheless

Revisado: 08-11-13

I actually purchased this book because I enjoy Ilyana Kadushin's narrations, and she didn't disappoint. She has a voice that is very easy to listen to and she brings you into the story flawlessly. I'd suggest purchasing anything she narrates.

Despite the fact that chocolate is a banned substance but beer is not...the characters are well rounded, the story is intriguing, it left me wanting more and I was happy to discover that it's a series. It's a very creative look at future of our world and it takes familiar things and twists them in a surprising way.

Divergent meets The Bachelor or ANTM

Revisado: 08-11-13

Fun interesting listen. HUGE cliff hanger at the end. The title of this review very much describes the book. If you liked Matched you'd like this book. It's a little "girlier" than Divergent or Hunger Games, but if you're a fan of the YA dystopian genre you'll enjoy the book.

Haunting

Revisado: 08-11-13

Laurie Halse Anderson is a phenomenal story teller. I read her book Speak in 1 day, one of her best. This story was intriguing, disturbing, and heartwarming.

The one thing I didn't like is how they audibly handled what I assume are cross outs in the written from of the book. There are beeps and odd volume adjustments. I think I'd rather hear a vocal change rather than an "editing" change. I think Jeannie Stith could have acted the "cross outs" without the annoying beeps. I personally don't like that directorial? choice. I'm curious to see how other audio productions handle that challenge

A Great Sophie Kinsella Fix

Revisado: 08-11-13

Any additional comments?

A typical Sophie Kinella book, told this time from different character perspectives. An enjoyable listen.
