Publisher's summary

"You can't touch me," I whisper. I'm lying, is what I don't tell him. He can touch me, is what I'll never tell him. But things happen when people touch me. Strange things. Bad things.

No one knows why Juliette's touch is fatal, but The Reestablishment has plans for her. Plans to use her as a weapon.

But Juliette has plans of her own. After a lifetime without freedom, she's finally discovering a strength to fight back for the very first time - and to find a future with the one boy she thought she'd lost forever.

Good story

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

I enjoyed the overall story and found the narration very good too but I did not enjoy the repeating lines and was not really a fan of the scratching bits.

Do you think Shatter Me needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

I would be interested but I think if the repeating lines began I would not continue to listen.

Empowering

We all can relate to being different. This is a triumphant story of rising above adversity in many areas of life that seem suffocating!

Dystopian Teenage Drama

'Shatter Me,' is a dystopian teenage drama by Tahereh Mafi. It takes places in an apocalyptic world with members of a resistance movement front and center. The main character is a seventeen year old girl who has the special ability of being able to kill a person with her touch. There is a bit of teen coming-of-age drams and romance.

I found this world to be interesting, the writing and characters adequate. It held my interest while I was reading it although I don't think I will be doing a re-read any time soon. As it is the first book in a series I am curious to see where the author will take this story and characters...I've heard from friends that the author does build on this story and it grows in interest and intensity and the characters become more multidimensional. I plan to continue the series as my curiosity has been sufficiently aroused.

I think the narrator did a fine job with most of the characters although occasionally I took a well need break from listening to the whiny voice used for the ten year old younger brother of one of the characters.

pretty good but slow

the first half of this book was really slow. it really started to pick up at the end and then it was over. I was pretty sure I wasn't going to continue to the next, but the ending hooked me just enough to be interested in the next book.
it's YA so if you don't like angst then skip this one. it tends to be mellow dramatic, but it was pretty quick and enjoyable to listen to.

Awesome story with great narration

I really like these books and the writing style. The obsessive way Juliette counts and repeats herself at the beginning and then it lessens as she becomes more confident and exposed to the world. Kenji is a great side character and Adam treats Juliette the way she should be treated. Warner is a great bad guy, he's a lot more complex than he seems.
