Wake

First off, if you are older than 14, don't buy this book.

I don't think anything could have made this story better. Narrator does her best with truly awful material but her rendition of the dialogue makes me cringe.

Think Twilight, even more badly written, with fish.

i guess some may like this book but you need to be 15 years old to enjoy it. appears to be written for a very young reader as it is extremely immature and lacks any sophistication for the adult reader. the ending appears to set it self up for another book to follow so i'm hoping to remember the authors name in order not to purchase it by mistake.
the narrator was annoying, she need much more practice with different voices.

I read the reviews before choosing this book and several reviews commented on how young the book is. I realized after listening to the book, it isn't the story, it's the narrator. The narrator tries very hard to add in voices and make an enjoyable listening experience. However, I felt as though I was listening to a book for small children. Keep in mind that the characters are 18 and 16. Many times I found myself being pulled out of the story due to the performance. It was unbelievable that the characters would talk like children. The narration is so distracting that I had a difficult time following the story line. Very disappointing.

The Narrator is simply awful...she sounds like a birth control/feminine hygiene commercial narrator with her perpetual "questioning" tone. It's just annoying, and they had her do the second book as well. Big disappointment. She also makes all the guys sound like Mr Ed.

Amanda Hocking is amazing. I loved all her other series. This one almost makes me think it was written by someone else. I just don't feel her in it at all. Maybe it was just the horrible narration that threw me off, but it just felt like it came from a different writer. The story is not that bad, even though other reviews say it is. I think the weak characters and narration is what killed it for a lot of people. But they are just blaming the storyline because they just can't quiet put there finger on it.

Better narrator, someone that can make the characters sound more their age and "cooler" like in My Blood Approves

Maybe....with a good screen writer

As a "good" book, no. For people that listen to the number of books a week/month that I do, yes. It is cute and entertaining.

I have listened to all of them and preferred the others.

No. They swam off to live their lives and it should stay there.

I really liked it. Not sure how to rate it as far as other books I have read.

Not sure.

I like the way he told the story.

yes!

No
