So glad I discovered Twilight on Audible

Revisado: 11-23-11

I discovered Twilight in April 2006 by browsing through pages and pages audiobooks on Audible.com!!! I saw the cover, the name, read the summary, and thought, hey, that sounds interesting! Boy am I sosososo glad I did, and proud that I did so before it became crazy popular. I love it for it's perfectly impossible story and beautiful writing. Stephenie Meyer deserves all the credit for her wonderful series, and like the characters, it really should continue on forever! I am in denial with the fact that it's supposedly over :P

Also, I am glad for the fact that the first version of Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse that I read was by audiobook. Ilyana Kadushin is a superb narrator, one of the best on Audible. The moment she speaks you know which character is talking, and when I watched the movies, I was disappointed that the characters, especially Bella, didn't sound the way Kadushin did! I don't read many long books, but I enjoy listening to them, and it's all due to great narrators like her.

So everything is awesome...the story...the fact that you get three more long books to download if you loved this (which you will)...and that the listen is very smooth and enjoyable (unlike some books which are great but with unpleasant-sounding narrators). It's win, win, win.....even if you have read the actual book before, if you are a true Twilight fan, you must own every version available <3 <3 <3

Twilight is wonderful on Audible!

Revisado: 11-23-11

I discovered Twilight in April 2006 by browsing through pages and pages audiobooks on Audible.com!!! I saw the cover, the name, read the summary, and thought, hey, that sounds interesting! I am so glad I did, and proud to say I began the books way before it became popular! Ilyana Kadushin is one of the best narrators I have listened to, and I'm happy that she narrated all the Twilight series books. The moment she speaks you know which character is speaking, and when I watched the movies, I was disappointed when Bella sounded nothing like her! LOL.

Anyways, about Breaking Dawn specifically: I downloaded it right when it was available (so this review is very late, but I was prompted by the movie to write my review). I absolutely love the ending, despite the many negative reviews it has gotten by Twilight fans. I am a HUGE Twilight fan. It was my favorite series for a long time before I fell in love with Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series. I won't give anything away (although it's hard to believe anyone still doesn't know how the story goes), but the descriptions of EVERYTHING are wonderful, there isn't too much of anything. And I love that in the end, everything works out for everyone!!! (including cough-Jacob-cough). I was never team Jacob, I wanted Bella and Edward to be together, but I would be more than heartless to wish he'd just disappear. I'm so glad he didn't, and is so much the hero of this last book.

I'm sort of in denial that this series is really, truly, over. Meyer needs to write, like, about Nessie. There's no way her life can go without some complications! Like the characters, this series needs to go on forever <3

I'm expecting this to be perfect, like the others!

Revisado: 05-25-11

I haven't even listened to this yet, I listened to all the other books and was so upset when some of her books were not available in unabridged format! I had to go to the library and actually read them, I just realized this one's out so I bought it right away! The narration makes Diana's books so much more magical than they already are, Davina Porter is one of the best narrator's I've ever listened to, and I've listened to many audiobooks. Please read the books in order, it will be so much better for you if you do. I hope all Diana's books become unabridged so I can listen to them again and again!

Beautiful

Revisado: 04-04-11

This is the first time I've ever read or listened to "Gone With the Wind", and it is a truly beautiful piece of literature. The narration was also perfect :) I'm young, and maybe because of that I don't understand why novels like these don't end in happy endings; I'm really disappointed at how the book ended. However I enjoyed listening to it from start to finish, I'm only outraged that it finished where it did.

Incredible

Revisado: 01-09-11

Lots of people complained about the narration, I thought it was wonderful. This is an incredible book and teaches you a lot from both Andi and Alex. I usually don't like stories with sad endings, even if it is only sad for one of the main characters. It was captivating from beginning to finish, and I wish I could come across audio books with this level of brilliant writing and narration more often.

Interesting listen

Revisado: 04-30-10

Good if you don't have anything else in mind to listen to. I listened to the whole thing, didn't regret buying it, but not the best book I've listened to and not going to listen to it again.

Need to read the last 2!!

Revisado: 12-30-08

This book series is awesome. Although I've never listened to abridged, I don't feel encouraged to buy them, and if they aren't on here soon, I will be forced to go the library :( I hate when that happens, but this book is awesome. Get the first one, Outsider, and read them in order though. Otherwise it'd be really confusing!!!
