Narration distracting

Revisado: 07-24-19

This narrator did NOT help the story at all. It is difficult to understand when one sentence ends and another begins. Similarly, there is about the same transition between words in the same sentence, one sentence to another, and even one scene to another. Frequently, I couldn't tell if I had inadvertently skipped several seconds of listening time as I would find myself in another scene, even days later in the story line. This makes the book feel disjointed. The story line was already blah so the narration (maybe the directing of the narration?) did nothing to help.

Fantastic narrator

Revisado: 06-26-18

Narrator was great. Made the story in fact... Good enough story but entirely about teenage love.

Couldn't stand narration

Revisado: 06-23-18

Honestly, cannot say whether the story was good. narrator was so horrible that I couldn't listen to it. Didn't even make it more than 10 minutes.

ok story, horrible narrator

Revisado: 06-09-18

Narrator was distracting. Sounded like she was in box half of the time. OK differentiation between characters voices, but awkward pauses and slightly wooden narration.

Francophiles beware...

Revisado: 10-27-17

If you're a French speaker, the narrator's butchery of the language will grate on you, but it doesn't overwhelm like in some other narrated stories (because there aren't as many French words!). Enjoyable read without but nothing remarkable.

Enjoyable Read

Narration was good. Story was interesting. Found myself laughing at good natured humor.

Slightly annoying characters

Revisado: 05-19-17

These characters just aren't that believable. They are both annoying, whiney, and too perfect all at the same time. Everyone gets along while simultaneously being catty, and no one has the sense to tell either the main protagonist (who is way too bossy) or her best friend (who is way too up in her business) that no one would think that they're over the top, and in fact everyone is jist so happy to tell them how great it all is, despite the total dysfunction in it all.

The narrator doesn't help much. I just didn't enjoy listenjng, whether because of the minor things, like pronouncing "autopsy" as "all-topsy" or the more major. The major annoyance was that she read everything as if every sentence was ended with an exclamation point. Also, half the men had horrible nasal voices (though I did appreciate her attempt to distinguish the various voices).

The story was passable (if not slightly predictable) and the love interests pretty much fawn all over each other throughout. Even someone like me, who can suspend reality for a bit, was rolling my eyes. So, be forewarned.

Love Amanda Ronconi, Hated Accent

Revisado: 02-18-17

Good story on par with other Molly Harper Half Moon Hollow stories. However, the accent of the narrator was distracting. I absolutely love Ronconi's narration (that's how I found this series), and she always does a great job. So I know it's not her but the director who told her to use such a weird accent (it sounded like a poor imitation of someone trying to speak half-Irish and half-Bostonian). Yes the character has both elements but it even says that she's supposed to have a SLIGHT lilt/Boston accent. After a while it eased, but it did take quite some time.

predictable but still enjoyable

Revisado: 05-22-16

The narrator leaves something to be desired -- she is a little too sudate for my tastes. And I guessed the ending about 1/2 through the book. Still, it was enjoyable enough.

Narration sometimes odd

Revisado: 04-27-15

I obviously love this story, but I found there were times that the narrator (who is generally good) reads sentences so that it was a little boring -- when the narration wasn't a character speaking, there were times (but certainly not the bulk of the reading) that it sounded rote without much thought or feeling for what was being said. It got a little distracting, but wasn't as critical since I am well acquainted with the story. The variation of character voices is good, but the
