A different and unique take on zombies

Revisado: 04-10-24

It’s so rare to come across a zombie series that gives you everything. How it started, how it spread, all the way to how it ends. Excellently written!

Narrator was a no go

Revisado: 09-16-22

I just couldn’t get into this story, but I have to make clear it had little to do with the writing and story and everything to do with the horrible narration. Everyone’s voice was either shrill, sounded like a clogged nose, or had teeth gritted. Seriously, dialogue spoken with gritted teeth when the text doesn’t allude to that person being upset or angry was quite off-putting.

I wish I would’ve just read this one instead of listening.

Slow

Revisado: 09-09-22

The narrators were so slow and the mics were so bad that I sped them up to just get through it. The story has a great premise but fell flat when *spoiler* the two see each other after years of meeting ONCE and instantly get married and have so much sex (that was narrated by what sounded like a robot) to the point I ended the book in the final stretch. No chemistry and not real conflict.

The Suspense is Perfection!

Revisado: 05-10-22

This is honestly a book I will use to study the art of writing suspense. There is a bit close to the end where they are driving through a storm, and the writing kept me up until 4am. It was fantastic, and I look forward to listening to the other books in this series. Thank you so much for writing this chef's kiss of a book.

Inconsistent

Revisado: 07-19-20

This book is in desperate need of a content editor. In nearly every scene, there is something that made me pause and go, “What?” I made it to chapter 3. I couldn’t take it anymore. For example: the character turns off the tv. The next paragraph, the tv us magically back on and the reporter is talking again. Stuff like that is littered in the first few chapters. Dnf

Eloquently Written

Revisado: 09-24-14

It feels wrong, somehow, rating Anne's diary, but she was truly a very complex, interesting, and insightful young girl. Every time she spoke about her future, I was crushed knowing she never got one.
I would recommend this to everyone, young and old.

Selma Blair did a fantastic job narrating, giving the right amount of emphasis for how a teenage girl might actually talk.

Some have said they don't understand what was so horrific about the book, or how they hated Anne being a teenager and saying, many times, that no one truly knows her or "understands" her. Here's the truth: I don't think anyone in the annex really did know her, and only after the war ended did her father get to see insight into his daughter's emotions and internal turmoil. What's so horrific about this story is how it abruptly ends. The fact the 8 Jews in the annex had to hide from the world just to stay alive. That, in the end, it was all for naught. What's so horrific is the terrible way they died, and for no reason whatsoever.

Those who gave negative reviews seem to not have grasped the point of Anne's story. They focus too much on it being a diary of a young girl and less on the reality of her situation. Juxtapose her life with what was going on in the world. How her being Jewish didn't make her any different than any other teenage girl. Her religion, race, wasn't who she was. THAT'S the point. She was brave, naive, an autodidactic, and had hopes and dreams. Maybe some of the naysayers out there should take a page from Anne's diary and try to live it. Tell me how it was terrifying and horrific. Because, guess what, it was.

I wish she had survived to continue her stories. I imagine her to be a writer with rich and challenging writing that would make you think. Her loss is unimaginable.

Wickedly Delicious

Revisado: 08-22-12

Another five shining bright stars for Molly Harper, who can entertain, humor, tell a wickedly delicious story, and actually have real depth with her plots. If you haven't gotten on the Harper bandwagon yet, my only question is: WHY NOT?

And One Last Thing . . . had me in stitches, nearly crying, and nodding my head at how spot on this story is. After being in love with Harper's paranormal books, this was a different change of pace. However, Harper keeps up the witty remarks, fun characters, and over-all sense of feeling as if everything is happening to you. Only if I was that funny. I think what really made me love this book in particular was the fact I'd gone through a divorce myself, and if I had it to do all over again, I would have sent out a hilarious and not-the-least-bit contrite newsletter to all our friends/family.

As far as the narration, Amanda Ronconi is quickly becoming one of my favorite narrators. It's Ronconi's voice and characterization that gives all of Harper's books that little extra bump. She has such a finesse with brining books alive that I don't know if reading Harper's books will ever be the same without Ronconi's voice.

Keep on writing, Molly, for I am forever your loyal book-reading servant. Same goes for Amanda, because I'll buy just about any book she narrates!
