She wants to put an end to the Testing.

In a scarred and brutal future, The United Commonwealth teeters on the brink of all-out civil war. The rebel resistance plots against a government that rules with cruelty and cunning. Gifted student and Testing survivor Cia Vale vows to fight.

But she can't do it alone.

This is the chance to lead that Cia has trained for - but who will follow? Plunging through layers of danger and deception, Cia must risk the lives of those she loves - and gamble on the loyalty of her lethal classmates.

Who can Cia trust? The stakes are higher than ever - lives of promise cut short or fulfilled; a future ruled by fear or hope - in the electrifying conclusion to Joelle Charbonneau's epic Testing trilogy. Ready or not - it' s Graduation Day. The Final Test is the Deadliest!

good book

some what similar to hunger games, but with enough unique difference to make it original.

Serious and tender stirring of positive and negative emotions.

I liked how the main character had to look at what she lost and gained, mostly in relationships. Very good story.

The story was good

The story was typical of dystopian novels, but well written. Narration was not so great however. The main character starts out at 16, yet the narrator reads as if she's 12. I only continued because my daughter insisted, but overall, not bad for young adult.

5 min in…..

They changed the reader and it is making me soooo crazy! Her voice is not similar to the first two books and she reads choppy and slow! It will be very difficult for me to finish this series!!

Play at 1.2x

Great book! Narrator was a little slow in pace. You can correct it some by setting the speed to 1.2x.

Please don’t change narrator during a series

The narrator changed from the first two books. While the characters are young, she voiced them as if they were small children. Her inflections were almost unbearable. The story was “ehh” but I nearly set it aside due to narration. I finished the series but in hindsight would not really recommend; the entire series could have been made into one extended novel.

Got better and better

I loved this book! I finished listening to it too fast. I wanted more at the end. The new characters were a great highlight to the book. kept you wondering at some parts and I loved that. It kept it clean.

convoluted ending almost ruined the whole series

Is there anything you would change about this book?

the twists in double twist at the end we're just too much.

Would you be willing to try another book from Joelle Charbonneau? Why or why not?

Absolutely. Overall I really enjoyed the series, I was just a bit disappointed by the ending.

Would you be willing to try another one of Elizabeth Morton’s performances?

Only if she narrated a book that I would be willing to suffer through poor narration in order to read. Her slow overannunciation drove me crazy. It did help to speed the narration up to 1 1/4 speed.

Was Graduation Day worth the listening time?

Yes. It was unique, and I enjoyed the characters. Speeding up the narration made it bearable to listen to.
