Great start, but bitter ending

Revisado: 12-10-21

This book started off great, but then it seemed like the author was reaching for a way to bring it to an end. After following the protagonist through all of the conflict, I was highly disappointed with the conclusion.

Great family listen

Revisado: 12-10-21

We absolutely loved this book! The characters were engaging, and while the manner in which they became millionaires is a little farfetched, the plot line was well written. This will definitely be a repeat listen.

This book makes you think...

Revisado: 07-29-21

When we began this book, I thought, "What a clever title." But this book delves deeper, so much deeper than just thoughts. It makes the reader question their motives and own biases. There are so many topics and themes present in this text. I consider it a "must read" for educators.

Delightfully Entertaining

Revisado: 07-21-21

My kids and I loved this book! The writing is thorough and the topic is one that all ages can identify with. There are humorous moments throughout that made my teenage son repeatedly say, "I love this book." I'm definitely checking out this other books.

Bit of a letdown

Revisado: 06-29-21

This story began great, but ends a bit of a mess. Listening to the protagonist's adventure on the planet was exciting and engaging. But then, the plot twists into what seems like an entirely different book. This makes the book overall confusing and disappointing.

Absolutely Compelling

Revisado: 06-28-21

A lot of prequels feel forced, but Suzanne Collins has done an amazing job weaving the intricate background and upbringing of President Snow. The characters are developed in such a meaningful way that the conflict of "The Hunger Games" series makes even more sense. I understood Snow's plight. But there has to be more! I only hope future book(s) will reveal more of what happened between Snow and his beloved cousin. Also, I've listened to this book twice, and each time I wish the songs were actually sang. I would love to hear Lucy Gray's voice. It would be great if that could happen.

great character development

Revisado: 06-11-21

This was a great read. McCormick is an entertaining writer that uses humor to add depth to an already great storyline. I like how this isn't a "happily ever after" story, but one that shows the ups and downs of life. This is definitely one story my family and I will listen to over again.

Full of twists and turns

Revisado: 07-15-20

Great family read and opportunity to discuss being open and honest. Korman did an amazing job developing the Osiris kids. I hope the next two books reveal more about the adults. I can't wait to read the second book and discover more of the origin of the kids and their caretakers.

Slow start, but an awesome finish

Revisado: 05-22-20

This was slow at first, and my son complained while my daughter asked for more. But soon, we were all listening and enjoying this book. Maya's journey is amazing. Readers can connect with her struggle to not be considered a little kid, her desire to understand her mother, get longing to know more about her past, and her curiosity about her future. Overall, this is a great read and I highly recommend it.
