he does a good job of making each character unique
when we found out macon was a Incubus

"Great for Teens"
Probably, I would listen to a bit or check in to the premise first.
I bought some books off the 4.95 sale.
Macon, Macon, Macon
I could see either, with a movie it would be good if they made the beginning and end stronger. The middle was very interesting. For a series it would be good to get some more writers and characters. The best character was Macon and he was killed off. Any of the pop stars out now would do. Macon and Marion's characters should be strong actors.
There were some very good elements, the locket, the library, telepathy, Bo Radlly and supporting characters. The grandma's character was not consistant at all.
Mother of 3, grandmother of 6, retired nurse and substance abuse counselor. Thrilled to have the time to read or listen to books again.
"disappointing"
i had heard about this book from friends and finally having read it i was disappointed in its content. the love story in it was sweet but the subject matter is disturbing. teens have enough problems just being teenagers but to have to deal with the supernatural and especially the dark side of the supernatural to me was disturbing. especially when the dark side consists of people who should love and support us not try to bring us to them and become part of the evil/darkness. i was glad when the book ended but it was so obvious that the ending the authors chose leaves no doubt that there will probably be a sequel which i will not be reading.
the narration was excellent.
"Wonderful!"
It was cool hearing the song sung, it would be easy to get it stuck in your head!
There were some interesting adaptations of the creatures in the story. I like when authors break the mold of typical supernaturals.
He did a great job doing different voices for each character!
""Wow""
Yes, "Wonderful", could not stop listening. Must download book 2.
secrets found in the swamp.
the boy.
Thrilling, misterious , funny, loving, friendships,magical.
Beautiful Creatures is all this and more.
"Even Better Than the Book"
Yes. The songs and sounds really enhance the listening experience, especially since it is such an integral part of the story.
It seemed like a fresh storyline. Not really witches, vampires or other popular horror/romance books. The characters aren't whiny as a lot in this genre.
I thought he did a great job with the voices and giving them all their unique accents/speaking patterns.
Great series. Good for teens and adults.
"Loved it!"
I loved Ethan! The perfect boyfriend......
Kevin does such an awesome job delivering all the different characters. I LOVED his accents and non-accent. He brought wonderful energy, emotion and drama perfectly and his voice is easy to listen to. I didn't want it to end.
"Great narrator - poor quality audio"
I loved the narrator for this story and I already knew I loved the story as I have read it before. My 1 disappointment was that there are dream sequences in the story that are important to hear that were inaudible. I have emailed for help with this issue and have received no response. The story is great though!
"Predictable and poorly written"
No
No
Mediocre, flat, boring
good for not very discerning teenage girls with fixation on the supernatural.
Not even as up to the level as Twilight, which is a very low bar indeed.
"a teenage romance novel with no story"
The only good thing about this book is the narration, but definitely now worth a credit.
I am a fan of young adult fiction, and have listened to a few excellent ones. This was not one of them. I am shocked that it has gotten such high ratings from other listeners. Though the narrator does and excellent job, the story is pointless, and the main characters are shallow and uninteresting.
