    "Fairly boring and predictable"

    Aside from being rather boring the dialogue given to the 4 year old child was ridiculous. It sounded more like a 10 year old kid.

    Story
    "Suspence romance by/ for a teenager"
    Would you try another book from Karen Robards and/or Shannon McManus?

    Shanon McManus did a good job of it. If she hadn't read so well, I wouldn't have finished listening.








    Would you ever listen to anything by Karen Robards again?

    No, never.


    What three words best describe Shannon McManus’s voice?

    Shannon has a youthful and nice voice, easy to understand for a foreigner.


    You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

    The beginning was promising and it wasgood that the female main character had a typical "male" job, towing cars.


    Any additional comments?

    This story would be more suitable in a teenagers' magazine.

    "Slowest book I have ever had to sit through"
    Would you try another book from Karen Robards and/or Shannon McManus?

    Would not try another book from Karen Robards I dont have that much time to waste.


    Any additional comments?

    The first of the book was good and the last part was good but the 8 hours in the middle are torture. If I had n't had so many hours invested in it at the end of the first part , I wanted to quit.

    "KR has written another solid thriller"
    Where does Shiver rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

    I enjoyed this book but in some places it seemed like she went too far with the descriptions and you are left thinking hurry up I get it.


    What other book might you compare Shiver to and why?

    It was good but not as good as Shatterred

    "Spellbinding!"

    This story grabs your attention right off, and you can't wait to find out what happens next. I really enjoyed this book. I couldn't turn it off. Everything else had to wait until I finished listening to this book.

    I found myself so involved in the narration and story that during a particularly suspenseful section, I was sweating!

    What would have made Shiver better?

    Everything


    Would you ever listen to anything by Karen Robards again?

    I doubt it. Bad writing.


    What didn’t you like about Shannon McManus’s performance?

    Too whiney.


    What character would you cut from Shiver?

    All of them.


    Any additional comments?

    The dialogue must have repeated itself over and over and over....again till you thought, Huh? It was just taking up space for bad writing. Plus, no one would act like this in a real situation. It was ridiculous. I had to stop after a chapter because it was too silly to suspend my imagination that far.

    Story
    "Fantastic Story however I couldn't get past..."
    Is there anything you would change about this book?

    The story was everything I know Karen Robards to be as a writer, The slight lisp of the narrator was annoying because the main characters name was Sam which sounded like Stham, However I could have gotten over it if the narrator had different voices for different characters. Overall GREAT STORY just couldn't get over the bad read.


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Shiver?

    Where Sam and her boy had to get out of the house.


    Would you be willing to try another one of Shannon McManus’s performances?

    Not now, I dont know if she is a new reader but if she is I will be willing to listen to another after she has gotten a few books done and has a grasp on how to make the characters stand out.


    Did Shiver inspire you to do anything?

    Read more of Karens books:)
