Ok book, not good narrator

Revisado: 02-26-19

The story was ok enough that I'll want to read the next in the series. The narrator was not good. Mispronounced words, characters periodically changing accents... and why did she decide to make everyone except for the main character either British or a bad mix of British and Australian? anyway... story was good.

The narrator did a great job - terrible story

Revisado: 03-16-18

This is one of the worst books I've ever read. I actually couldn't even finish it - and it takes a lot for me NOT to finish even a terrible book. 50% through on the dot, and I can't continue.

The author's writing was fine - great grammar, fine dialogue - but the content was not fine.

My issues with this book:

1) There was an overwhelmingly Christian overtone to the whole thing. Good vs. Evil, Light vs. Dark, praying, and too many talks about the wrongness of swearing and adultery, and multiple talks about the sanctity of virginity. Those things have their place in a Christian fiction, but not in a book that is supposedly about zombies.

2) This book isn't about zombies. This is strongly reminiscent of Twilight's version of vampires. These are not zombies. They are basically cannibalistic invisible demons that feed on "good spirits".

3) This is not related to Alice in Wonderland at all. It has nothing to do with Alice in Wonderland. There is a word here and there (like a cloud that looks like a white rabbit, oh my!), but this story is not at all a twist on the classic tale.

4) This is a Christian teen drama. Which I would have been fine with if that's what I was being sold on. However, I bought this because it was described as being an Alice in Wonderland-like zombie story.

Long story short, this is now 1 of 3 books of all time that I could not bring myself to finish.

I can't stand this narrator

Revisado: 09-01-17

The story itself is great, but if I have to listen to this narrator's lilts, inflections, and terrible accent much longer, I'm going to scream. I find myself scoffing and backtalking her throughout the reading. The story is keeping me interested, but I'm having a hard time differentiating if I'm irritated by the narrator's way of saying "iron" and "ice" and "scream", or if it actually is used as a discriptor far too many times. But note to future self: don't get any audio books narrated by Amy McFadden.

Good story, couldn't stand the narrator

Revisado: 08-27-17

The story was great. Interesting, character development, wide opened for a series. I'll be sure to read the next one!

The narrator made me want to stop listening. Unnecessary voice pitches, and every character except for the main one sounded like a "valley girl". Very irritating and grating.

I couldn't continue listening to her

Revisado: 07-21-15

I had to stop about 50% in. I really tried to finish - it is very hard for me to drop a book or audiobook without completing. She sounded like she was reading word for word from a script and failing miserably. I couldn't even pay attention to the materials after a while, as her reading/speaking style was so atrocious that it distracted from any information there was to gleam. Horrible.

Silly

Revisado: 12-31-14

Worth the $2 for 10 mins of silliness. The warnings were longer than the book... which made it more funny to me.
