Damn close to as good as a Stephen King novel!

Revisado: 09-06-15

Would you listen to Forsaken: Book One of the Shadow Cove Saga again? Why?

Maybe - would prefer listening to a different narrator though. The story and plot were fresh and kept me listening despite a few of the narrator's character voices I found annoying.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes - a few good plot twists and the way the excerpts from Thad's book tied into or explained the story happening to Thad and his family.

Which character – as performed by Christina Delaine – was your favorite?

The clickety-click of the fingernails was the best part of her narration - but I did not enjoy her as narrator.

Who was the most memorable character of Forsaken: Book One of the Shadow Cove Saga and why?

Clayton Stone - maybe because a lot of insight into his thoughts was provided as he faced the enigma of the seemingly innocent girl that didn't jive with everything happening that was associated with her.

Any additional comments?

I'm really looking forward to more books from the Shadow Cove saga, and hope they choose a different narrator.
But really, even if they don't - I'm still in!

Not your typical boring zombie story

Revisado: 02-07-15

What made the experience of listening to The Girl with All the Gifts the most enjoyable?

Intelligent story line and characters.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Melanie of course - because of the internal struggle between her need to feed and her desire to do right. That's what makes horror/ monster stories interesting.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

.. and you thought the Paleo diet was tough...

Any additional comments?

I don't care for the popular zombie genre but this was a great story.

Thoroughly enjoyed this story

Revisado: 08-23-09

This is a great story, and paints a clear picture of Chinese culture during foot-binding days. Really enjoyed this view of the secluded lives of Chinese women and of the culture.

Good story, but fairly repetitive.

Revisado: 08-23-09

Story is pretty fascinating, and gives a good peek at the period -- but there are a lot of very repetitive lines - gets tedious occasionally.

Great second look at history and philosophy

Revisado: 08-23-09

Very engrossing tale; VERY disappointing at the end - it ended quite abruptly and the next book in the series is not yet available!

Totally engrossing

Revisado: 09-22-08

The audible version of a real page-turner. Clever setup: fictitious publisher writes the prologue, talking about whether or not he should publish this story based on a "found manuscript" which is Gideon's autobiography.
The story addresses big philosophical questions and the variety of relationships in one man's life -- all a background for a fantasical tale.
I'm looking for more books by this author!

A few good plot twists

Revisado: 07-14-07

A quiet, thoughtful story that manages to have a few twists in the plot. If you like fast-paced stories this probably isn't for you, but I like both fast and slow-paced movies and books, and found this story captivating.

Narrators a mixed bag

Revisado: 07-14-07

Loved the first half, the title story. For all the rest of the stories they changed narrators - the second narrator's voice grated on my nerves and several times I almost just quit listening he annoyed me so much.

Good

Revisado: 05-27-06

Really liked the way Brown tied a lot of disparate historical events together into one theme. The reading was done well, and the plot twists and turns kept the story moving. I especially liked the way the author would have you change your mind about various characters as the story progressed. Good ending, too!

Can't stop listening!

Revisado: 12-30-05

Excellent retelling of the Dracula story; has a gothic feel about it though the story takes place in the mid-20th century. Having different actors read each character's part added a lot to the feel of the story. I'll listen to this one again and again.
