Not as good

Revisado: 03-26-25

I never felt invested in the story. It never grabbed me. I will still look forward to their next collaboration.

Horrid narration

Revisado: 08-15-17

I have to be totally honest, I spent so much time trying to adjust the speed of the playback that I am not really sure what the book is about. After listening for 5 hours I had to draw the line for how much of my time I'd give this audiobook. The narrator reads like a child reading a Dick and Jane book. It was excruciatingly slow. After a few hours of listening I gave up. I can't give a fair star rating so I went with 3.

I was given a free copy of the audiobook for my honest review, and I wish I could actually review the book, but as I said, the narration was terrible and I couldn't suffer any longer.

She got me good!

Revisado: 02-23-17

It's easy to see why there is a comparison to Girl on the Train and Gone Girl. Behind Her Eyes is told in the same manner. Chapters come from different people, and from their point of view. What isn't the same as either of those is the way it ends. Not the way it twists at the end, but the EXTRA twist at the VERY end. I'd figured it out just over halfway through, but I didn't take it far enough. I absolutely love that this had me fooled. It's hard to do when I read as much as I do, and Sara Pinborough got me good! Great story, deep characters, and excellent narration by Anna Bentinck, Josie Dunn, Bea Holland, and Huw Parmenter.

Narration ruined this

Revisado: 01-02-17

The problem with audiobooks is that if the person reading has a monotone voice, it can be hard for them to show emotion in the characters they're reading. I'm going to guess that this is why the narrator read as she did, and not because she's just bad.

With that being said, the story itself was not bad, I liked it. I would listen to another in this series, with a different narrator that is. The dog in the story is lovable, as is the main character. The mystery was a good one, and grew quite intense as the story came to its climax. I recommend the book, not the audiobook, however.

*I received a free copy of this audiobook for an honest review.

Great YA PNR

Revisado: 12-15-16

This story was basic, and simple. The perfect combination for a teen romance. The vernacular is definitely current teen, made apparent by the use of "anyways" and "you don't even know". Although slightly annoying to me, it's fine for the audience this is most likely written for. The over arching storyline is quite interesting, and I will be happy to read the next installment when it's released. The narrator was very good with different characters, and had a nice voice acting quality to her. No dull reading of the text. This is certainly worth the listen!

Disclosure: I was gifted this audiobook in return for an honest review.

Better than expected

Revisado: 10-03-16

I only read this book because it was given to me in a book exchange. I used one of my audible credits so I could listen as I read. Before the first chapter was over the Narrator had me thoroughly engrossed. He was so amazing, and the story was so interesting that I listened nonstop and finished it in one day.

The story is more than one type of story. It's more than the story of Mr Iverson. It's a story about perception. Perception of ourselves and each other, and the assumptions we make.

It's a terrific book, excellent writing, and spot on narration. Read it, better still, listen to it.

Fantastic from the start!

Revisado: 06-07-16

I was into the book from the first sentence. It was fun, interesting, and has a great foundation for more books. I'm happy I have this book a shot.

I liked the narrator very much. Great voices, especially for Oberon.

Too slow and cliche

Revisado: 04-06-16

I won the 4 audio books in this series, and was so excited for my chance to review them. Not so much now.

I mostly read by audio book, and I can listen to almost any narrator and find a way to like them. This narrator had a nice enough voice, but I had to listen at 1.5 speed just to make her sound normal. She spoke so slow I was laughing. I actually made my husband listen so we could laugh together.

Then there is the story. It's just boring. Boring and cliche. I feel terrible that I won this series, and have no desire at all to listen to another word. I may try the next book at a later date, but for now I am moving on to something else.

Very good!

Revisado: 04-06-16

This was a very good thriller. I had my doubts at first, but the narrator (Joe Hempel) kept me listening.

The story itself was interesting, and takes a turn that I was not expecting (a rare thing in thrillers). Ultimately, I was glad I kept listening. A little warning, this story has some graphic imagery, and can be a little hard to listen to/read.

I found a new author I like, and a new narrator that I love. I am very lucky that I was able to receive a free copy of this audible book for my honest, if not simple, review.

Better than average YA book

Revisado: 12-21-15

I did not see this story coming! I figured I'd give it a listen, and find myself entertained by the usual YA type of book. I was so wrong, and so happy to be wrong. The only assumption that can be safely made about Emm Cole's book is that it is about young adults. Past that, it's nothing I expected.

A town filled with secrets, magic, and terrible visions is just the beginning of what makes this story strange and fascinating at the same time. The narrator, Pamela Lorence, did a wonderful job. Her voice is easy to listen to, which made it easy for me to "read" for long periods.

If you know of any young adults (or not so young, such as myself) who are in need of something to read, this will not disappoint!
