"i love vampire stories but this..."
I really thought i would love listening to those shorter stories, because i really enjoy listening to audio books before going to sleep, but this simply did not work out for me at all. I enjoyed one story i think all the other story lines just did not make it for me. some seemed pretty much not even thought through
Well I guess if there was an actual story... a longer would i might give them another try. The problem might have been just me not digging to shallow plot...
I like the emotions in peoples voices and mostly like the narrating in this book so i can't actually complain about that, even though i guess you always either enjoy a narrator or you don't.
"an alright listen...that leaves you disappointed"
I enjoyed the first book a whole lot so when i realized there was another one revolving around the same characters i just had to get it. I really was disappointed though, while in the first book you can relate to everyone perfectly, nobody really mad any sense to me in this one.
I loved the first book and fell in love with the protagonist too, she seemed like such a strong woman who could overcome anything, but in this book there was simply too much drama going on for my taste. Everything was going way too fast and things got confusing which was why i had to stop at some point. While the first book was the kind of book you just could not stop listening to and had to take everywhere with you just to know what happens next.
This one leaves you rather disappointed. I think the story is a great idea, but what really annoyed me was that repeatedly things like " This does not happen in a city like this" etc. kept coming up, also I really hated that the vies switched so much. I don't know, I really would not recommend it...
"Great narrator, the story drags on and on though"
Make it go faster, i really could not get through it... i could not keep on listening, it just did not capture me
i have not even made it all the way through. i just stopped at somebody and wasn't into the story at all therefore no motivation to finish...
I really did not think it was, I read all those great reviews and thought this was a great buy as it turned out it really was not. I love vampire story's but this one does not have enough content for me...
I am sad to say that i actually really would not recommend this book. I enjoyed the narration style and really liked the way it was told. I just did not like the story at all.
"a great listen"
I really liked Katniss. she is a strong girl and all her decisions throughout the book seemed quite reasonable. Amazing character.
I really liked the beginning of the book when there was no way of telling where the story was headed.
I definitely could not stop listening to it, I actually even had it on in the gym because i really wanted to know what was going to happen next. super exciting story, good narrator, even though i thought she could have put more emphasis on some important facts of the story, overall she did a great job too though. loved the book and this audio version of it
"really enjoyed it!!!"
I really liked the narrator, also I really enjoyed Hoag's way of writing and getting into all kinds of details about the story.
I really enjoyed all the kids, because they gave the whole story a totally different angle.
I really enjoyed the way the story begins with all the kids being at school and their world being totally in place, their biggest problem being the fact, that one of them is a bully and that Tommy does not stand up for himself.
I was shocked about the way Tommy's mother reacted upon hearing what had happened to the kids throughout the day. I thought that it was crazy a mother could act like this and how she was being awful.
I think that this story is a great listen, as well as probably amazing to read. I really enjoyed the narrator, who in my opinion read at the perfect speed and did read anything too dramatically or got too deep into the story. A great audiobook.
