I rolled my eyes the whole time....

Revisado: 02-25-14

This book is soooo cheesy I found myself rolling my eyes with almost every line Babette speaks! No one is really that naive and insecure! The narrator did a decent job of creating all the different characters, but the writing was so cheesy I couldn't believe it. That being said, I still HAD to listen to the end. Its one of those books you only half way listen to, then you tune in for a while, then back out.

Story isn't bad...the narrator however is awful

Revisado: 01-27-14

OK, so the story isn't a real page turner, but when you listen to as many books as I do you realize not all of them can be grea. This story line isn't so bad, kinda predictable, but not bad. The narrator is so bad, I can't finish the story! How old is she - 12? She overacts at inappropriate times, cannot do a male voice, and seems to have no real talent. I'll stop listening to this one and maybe pick up the story in paperback.

Make sure you have some uninterrupted time! Enjoy

I've listened to all of Lisa Gardner's books and especially enjoyed the D.D. Warren series. This book doesn't concentrate so much on D.D., but instead told a great story of someone who cannot feel pain. No, the book is not realistic I suppose - but I wasn't reading True Crime. Yes it has a dark subject, but most murder mysteries do. If you listen for pleasure like I do, you'll love it. I really enjoyed the performance by Kirsten Potter.

Good book, horrible narrator!

Revisado: 07-22-13

When will I learn to pay attention to reviews commenting on narrators. I liked this book, I liked the story, I even liked the characters and will look to see if its a series but if its the same narrator, forget it! Nothing worse than a bad narrator trying to do a teenage girl's voice! Oh well, at least I know I can return it!

Fun

Revisado: 07-22-13

I liked this book. It wasn't the best book ever, but it was nice, light, and easy to read. Its one of those books you can just sit back and listen without getting too wrapped up in it.

Its OK, not great but not terrible

Would you try another book from Blake Crouch and/or Phil Gigante?

Maybe, I'll have to see about the narrator. The story was interesting but I really started hated the narrator's female voices.

What did you like best about this story?

It was a fast paced book.

How could the performance have been better?

This narrator had a really poor female voice. They came off as being super whiny.

Call in sick to work..you need to listen!

What did you love best about NOS4A2?

WOW - what a great way to spend 19 hours. I enjoyed every minute. This is one of those books you'll sit in your car even after you get to where you're going, you'll want to call in sick just so you have the time to listen, go to bed early so you have the peace & quite to really enjoy.

What was one of the most memorable moments of NOS4A2?

Hard to pick just one memorable moment without giving anything away.

What does Kate Mulgrew bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She was GREAT. Her voice as Mr. Manks was so super creepy. I will hear that voice in my head every Christmas.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I was scared at times, laughed out loud, and even cried at times.

Any additional comments?

My biggest problem with this book was that I wanted to keep listening, but that meant I was always drawing closer to the ending so I had to try to "save" it. Can't wait to read another book by Mr. Hill.

Save your credit - I couldn't get through it.

Would you try another book from Ted Dekker and/or Henry Leyva and Rebecca Soler ?

Not Rebecca Soler - she was awful!

Would you be willing to try another one of Henry Leyva and Rebecca Soler ’s performances?

No

Any additional comments?

I really wanted to like this book; I like alot of Ted Dekker's books. The Sanctuary just isn't one of them. I'm not sure why the whole book had to be G-Rated, after all most of the book took place in prison! The female narrator's voice sounded as if she were barely in high school and her cadence was way off.

Don't waste your credit!

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Kevin Foley?

I don't think anyone, not even Scott Brick, could have made this book better!

Any additional comments?

At first I thought this book was bad because they chose a male narrator even though the main character is a female (and most of the others) however the more I listened the more I realized how bad the writing really is! I couldn't believe some of the dialog between characters. The main character was whiny, illogical, and the dialog so cheesy it made me angry. I'm not sure who should be more ashamed, the writer or me for actually listening!
