"Very disappointing"
The reader is absolutely fabulous. The writing style is very good. The actual novel, plot, characters, etc., are dismal. I was extremely disappointed and had to force myself to continue to the end. I'm not sure even that was worth it.
"Very enjoyable"
I found this story very enjoyable and the narrator was terrific. It was a fun story with some very interesting twists and I would definitely recommend it. There were a few holes (of course they'd teach an assassin to fight in dress clothes), but they were minor and not too distracting. I will definitely be reading the sequels.
"fun! outstanding narrator!"
this was a lot of fun. it's set apart (at least a little) from the other star-crossed vampire-ish love stories by the quality and depth of the history and literary insight. I loved the house's personality. I almost think it is my favorite character, aside from Diana.
and seriously, this narrator is fantastic!!!!!!
"Outstanding narrator. Enjoyable story."
this was a really enjoyable story. it kept me on the edge of my seat. i was a little distracted by some of the random cursing. it just seemed unnecessary. but aside from that, I liked this and look forward to other books by this author. the narrator was fabulous.
"Troubling - but a very good story"
The subject matter made me so upset: kids being mean to kids, races being mean to different races, prejudice, misconceptions. But the author wrote about it all so very well. His style is fantastic.
So, even though I was troubled at times, it was still a terrific book. And I would recommend it to others.
On top of that, the narrator was outstanding!
"Entertaining"
This book seemed like a movie, in a way. It was written well -- good dialog, vocabulary, and the like. But the plot was just very movie like. I guess that's not a bad thing.
The narrator was outstanding!!!
Overall, I think it was entertaining, if a tad long.
"Fabulous!"
This was an absolutely terrific book. I fully enjoyed it. My only complaint was that it seemed to end too abruptly. I loved the characters and I loved the narrators. I strongly and wholeheartedly recommend this book!
"Wonderful"
I really enjoyed this story. It's well read and well written. Coriander is a fabulous character. I was very entertained and looked forward to my commute (where I listen to all of my audio books).
"Fabulous book and narrator"
Jane Eyre is, of course, a fabulous book. But when narrated by Juliet Stevenson, it is brought to life in the most satisfying way. I have loved listening to this book and getting to know the characters (again) through Ms. Stevenson's lively narration.
"Terrific story; fabulous narrator"
This is a wonderful story. I think it's almost better hearing it read rather than reading it yourself. And the narrator is absolutely fabulous. I fully enjoyed this and highly recommend it to others. Beware, though: it's addictive.
"Terrific"
This was a thoroughly enjoyable book. I was so engrossed in the plot that I missed my turn on the way to work on a few different mornings. The narrator is fabulous!
