Too much!

Revisado: 02-24-20

The idea behind this story is a good one, but there are words, upon words, upon words. At one point, the book states that the people who work at the book store laugh at Stephen King for his extraneous use of words per page. My mind kept wandering off- too much repeating- as if us readers are imbeciles and cannot follow the story without constant reminders.

Best Narration Ever!

Revisado: 03-17-16

What did you love best about You?

Santino Fontana is hands down the best narrator I have ever listened to. He really brought Joe Goldberg alive

Who was your favorite character and why?

Joe. Is it weird that I'm rooting for the sociopathic serial killer?

Good Until the Very Middle

Revisado: 01-31-16

If you could sum up Luckiest Girl Alive in three words, what would they be?

A disappointing ending.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

Thats it? Really?

Any additional comments?

I was on my edge of the seat the whole time- I just knew there was going to be a psychotic twist at the end that I never saw coming. . . but the joke was on me- it seems that the apex of the action was reached in the middle of the book- the ending was a dull fizzle.

Where does Something Wicked This Way Comes rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This book quickly earned a place as one of my all-time favorites

This book should be the handbook for American Horror Story- fantastic!

Listen Now!

Revisado: 12-21-15

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Oh, my goodness! I'm so glad I chose to listen to this book on Audible rather than read it. Reese Witherspoon did such a fantastic job narrating this book, I can't imagine anyone else attempting to read it. IMHO, Witherspoon's narration brought the book to life, and she made a good story fantastic!

Dangling ending

Revisado: 12-01-15

Any additional comments?

Ann Brashares has a knack for weaving an enthralling story, only to have the ending left dangling for the reader, and The Here and Now is no exception. There are too many questions left unanswered at the end of the book, but otherwise, an enjoyable read. I'm giving it 5 stars, because sometimes I think unanswered questions are a good thing, my own feelings of frustration not withstanding.

That accent, though...

Revisado: 11-15-15

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend this book if you're a Nicholas Sparks fan- typical Nicholas Sparks formula: nice girl meets bad boy, bad boy saves girl from terrible peril. Overall, an enjoyable story.

Any additional comments?

That accent the narrator used for Lilly, though….oh, my goodness- much too much!

A Snarkfest

Revisado: 10-09-15

How could the performance have been better?

The reader chose to use a very sarcastic, snarky tone for Amy, which didn't work for the entire book. I definitely saw Amy as sarcastic in the beginning, but I felt that she underwent many transformations in Oz, which made the snarkiness annoying. I wanted to click my heels three times to end this book.

Any additional comments?

I had so much hopes for this book, but none of the characters were likable. I really wanted to like Amy as a heroine protagonist, but the sarcastic voice used in narration prevented me from forming any sort of relationship relationship with her.
