    "Great for Teens"
    Would you try another book from Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl and/or Kevin T. Collins?

    Probably, I would listen to a bit or check in to the premise first.


    What do you think your next listen will be?

    I bought some books off the 4.95 sale.


    What three words best describe Kevin T. Collins’s performance?

    Macon, Macon, Macon


    Could you see Beautiful Creatures being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

    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.


    Any additional comments?

    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.

    "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!"
    Would you consider the audio edition of Beautiful Creatures to be better than the print version?

    It was cool hearing the song sung, it would be easy to get it stuck in your head!


    What did you like best about this story?

    There were some interesting adaptations of the creatures in the story. I like when authors break the mold of typical supernaturals.


    What about Kevin T. Collins’s performance did you like?

    He did a great job doing different voices for each character!

    "Even Better Than the Book"
    Would you consider the audio edition of Beautiful Creatures to be better than the print version?

    Yes. The songs and sounds really enhance the listening experience, especially since it is such an integral part of the story.


    What did you like best about this 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.


    What about Kevin T. Collins’s performance did you like?

    I thought he did a great job with the voices and giving them all their unique accents/speaking patterns.


    Any additional comments?

    Great series. Good for teens and adults.

    I loved Ethan! The perfect boyfriend......


    What does Kevin T. Collins bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    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!

    "a teenage romance novel with no story"
    You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

    The only good thing about this book is the narration, but definitely now worth a credit.


    Any additional comments?

    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.
