Outside In

De: Maria V. Snyder

Narrado por: Amanda Ronconi

"Me? A leader? Okay, I did prove that there's more to Inside than we knew. That a whole world exists beyond this cube we live in. And finding that led to a major rebellion—between worker scrubs like me and the snobby uppers who rule our world. Make that ruled. Because of me, we're free. I thought that meant I was off the hook, and could go off on my own again—while still touching base with Riley, of course. He's the one upper I think I can trust. But then we learned that there's outside and then there is Outside. And something from Outside wants IN."

Boring in the beginning and then picks up

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I read the first book and loved it so I had to find out what happens in the series so yes because it is a series. However, the booked really dragged in the beginning and didn't pick up action until 2/3rd's of way through. The author spends a lot of time reviewing the first book which I had just completed so the review was boring and continues throughout the book. The scenes are as realistic as they come! That's why the book was so boring because the middle of the book had a lot of bureaucracy, indecisiveness, and waiting. You just wait and wait for Trella to do something, anything! The ending is packed with action, love scenes, and is very well written. If you have completely forgotten the first book and need a review then you probably won't find the review so annoying in this one.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

The ending was great and well written. I am so happy that finally the writer creates action and suspense. Because of the ending alone, I will probably read the next book in the series when it comes out.

What about Amanda Ronconi’s performance did you like?

I hated her voice for Trella because it was so ugly sounding but her voices for everyone else especially the men were amazing. She can sound just like a man and she does very well with voice distinguishes.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

yes

Great Story

The beginning of the story was debatable whether to go on or not. however when it finally got started it became very interesting. so much so that I did not want to stop listening. the story was great. the narrator did a great job. the author is very talented and had fabulous imagination. Loved the story.

A Great Sequel to Inside Out

This picks up right where Inside Out leaves off. They have figured out that Outside is Outer Space, and they are aboard a space ship. Not everyone is happy with the way things are being run in the wake of the rebellion, and there are forces rising against the people making the rules. There is also something on the Outside, that wants In.

Trella is overwhelmed by her new responsibilities, and has a tendency to get herself into a lot of trouble.

I found myself wondering constantly through this one just what exactly would happen, and how they could possibly manage to work things out.

AS GOOD AS THE FIRST

I did not expect this one to go where it went either. Sometimes the second book isn't as good, but this one is good and kept me wondering, what next?

Even better than Inside Out!

A few reviewers have said that they found the beginning of this slow. I am not certain why that would be-- I found it moved along nicely. Trella is experiencing a period of self-doubt, and she goes back and forth in her mind about her role in the new society. However, there is a lot of action with bombs going off in Inside, vital systems at risk, and people dying. It's a great follow-up to Inside Out, so if you liked that,you'll love this.
