    "Amazing Story"
    What made the experience of listening to 14 the most enjoyable?

    Everytime they dropped a great "plot bomb", another great one soon followed!


    What was one of the most memorable moments of 14?

    Spoiler - When the door opened into space.


    Which character – as performed by Ray Porter – was your favorite?

    The main male one - forgot his name


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

    14 - moving in is only the beginning!


    Any additional comments?

    I needed a good sci-fy read and this "hit the spot."

    "Creepy- just like LA in REAL LIFE!"

    Ray Porter is fantastic and kept me with this even when the dialogue felt like it was sagging a bit (not so often). There are some images that will stay with you a long time after you read it; some good, some interesting and some very scary.

    "Tons of Fun"
    Would you try another book from Peter Clines and/or Ray Porter?

    Sure


    What was one of the most memorable moments of 14?

    Finding out why Clive and Debbie's apartment was 2-stories tall with wood paneled walls.


    Have you listened to any of Ray Porter’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    No, but he was great.


    If this book were a movie would you go see it?

    Not sure about that, but if it were a made-for-TV movie I'd tune in.


    Any additional comments?

    This was a good mystery, with fun characters and a lot of humor. I liked the way the suspense built up, and the fantastic things the gang found out. Very imaginative. The last third of the book got downright silly, but by then it was just so much fun that I had to keep listening. Plus the mental pictures were entertaining. Overall a good, light read.

    "Very fun story!"

    I purchased this book purely on the recommendations of the other reviewers, and it was definitely worth it! I completely understand how it is impossible to really say anything about it without giving the story away, but it was a fantastically fun trip! The performance was absolutely fantastic as well. The mention of others regarding his prowess with accents was not unfounded. I definitely felt like I was hearing completely different characters, each with their own voice.

    This is a book that is worth the read. Great literature? No, but sometimes you just need to read to have fun!

    "Loved this - amazing adventure!!"

    This book was AWESOME - the best I've read/listened to in as long as I can remember. It kept me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next right up until the end, and it built up to the perfect climax - to the point where I was practically yelling in my car as I drove and listened. This book combined all of the things that I love most - lots of interesting characters, mystery, history, suspense, ultimate adventures, and the narrator did a great job. I can't wait to read more by this author! My only question - when is this going to be made into a movie?

    "Excellent listen!!"
    Would you consider the audio edition of 14 to be better than the print version?

    Yes. I really enjoyed the voicing of different characters. It really made the story more enjoyable.


    What did you like best about this story?

    I liked the intrigue of the plot. There was just enough mystery to keep me coming back for more of the story.


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    This book made me laugh out loud on several occasions. There was a lot of dry humor, too.


    Any additional comments?

    Really excellent book. This was my first experience with an audio book and has me hooked!

    "Remove the Sexual References-Preteen Novel"
    This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

    Very boring, this book could be a preteen novel if the sexual references were removed. The plot is just ridiculous and the characters are very shallow. This was pretty much a waste of a good audible credit. The only saving grace was the narrater was very good.


    Would you ever listen to anything by Peter Clines again?

    No


    What three words best describe Ray Porter’s voice?

    Very good narrator


    If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from 14?

    The entire book

    Any additional comments?

    This was a great purchase, one of those books I just couldn't turn off. I highly recommend 14 to anyone who can take a little bit of the weird (ie, monsters). This isn't a work of literary art in the conventional sense, or a great intellectual feat. It's a gripping story that sucks you in and leaves you wanting more.
