    "Was pretty good!!"

    I was excited to start this novel, but it did take too long for me to get into the story. The narration was great, though!

    "Unique & intriguing."
    Would you consider the audio edition of The Hunt to be better than the print version?

    I haven't read the print version. so I cannot compare the two versions.


    What did you like best about this story?

    I like that the story is obviously about vampires, but the author never uses the word vampire.


    Which scene was your favorite?

    My favorite scene is an important plot twist & I don't want to spoil it.


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    Yes.


    Any additional comments?

    I can't wait to read book 2. I often am unsure what to spend my credit on, but not for the next 2 months.

    Story
    "A Teen vampire story... but a FANTASTIC one!"

    I really enjoyed this book, FAR more than I expected. The story had me on the edge of my seat almost the whole time. INCREDIBLY action packed. I finished it in 3 days... and I haven't been on a road trip or anything! It took the place of television, especially the last day when I started and finished part 2. I was on the edge of my seat the last 5 hours. It was insane!

    It's a great take on the vampire genre, bringing in the weird and intense differences between vampires and humans. It's got all of the elements of a great dystopian survivor story. It's very hard to explain or go on about this book without giving things away. LOTS of twists and turns! As I said, I couldn't stop listening and am planning on purchasing The Prey (book 2) when I finish writing this review.

    WORD OF WARNING!
    This book does have it's gross moments. The vampires salivate at the thought of humans (heepers) but they talk about how the drool runs down their chins and pools on the desks and floor. Thick blood dripping down their chins as they eat bloody raw meat drips into a bowl that fills up and they drink it at the end of the meal. There's also a couple VERY vivid descriptions about what happens to certain vampires in sunlight. I DID gag a couple times.

    But all of that creates such an amazing picture of the world of the book, and I felt it added to the fear and intensity, although it grossed me out a bit.

    Scary, exciting, mysterious and action packed, I don't understand why The Hunt doesn't have more of a following!

    Story
    "Surprisingly Interesting and engaging"
    Would you consider the audio edition of The Hunt to be better than the print version?

    Maybe. Possibly, the slower sections are easier to listen to than read?


    What other book might you compare The Hunt to and why?

    Hunger Game - a government organized hunt/killing game. Ender's Game - Child/Young person alone and expected to outsmart a devious and pitiless enemy.


    Which scene was your favorite?

    When Gene is trapped in a dark library with a bunch of blood thirsty vampires.


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    When Gene is thinking about his life and the audience sees his self-hatred.


    Any additional comments?

    In the beginning of this book I didn't think I'd like it. Regardless of faults I found, I am still eager to read the next book.

    "Kept on edge throughout."

    This book has kept me on edge from start to finish, the type of edge I feel while watching a close Redskins game, nail biting and all.

    Story
    "Nice plot and delivery"
    What made the experience of listening to The Hunt the most enjoyable?

    The actual writing itself was great! AND of course the sincerity of the characters within the prose.


    What did you like best about this story?

    The setting and the actual vampires. blood drinkers should be vicious and disturbing.


    What does Sean Runnette bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    Sean is fluid but the only problem I had was sometimes the lead character seems to forget he's being hunted and he keeps talking instead of moving. I know its a good story when I"M yelling at them myself.


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

    Something like (See vampires the way they should be and Pretty and shiny Aint it!)


    Any additional comments?

    Just make the lead character run! more! and stop thinking so much when its time to get going. :)
