"Exquisitely written; perfectly read"
I've had "So B. It" on my wish list for months, based simply on the intriguing description. Now I am only sorry I didn't get it sooner just so I could tell more people how wonderful it is. The story is almost magical in its beauty and the narration only enhances that beauty. According to other sources this is a book written for young people, ages 9-12, but I have grandchildren older than that! This is a story written for all ages. I normally choose audiobooks of epic length, often in the mystery or thriller categories, or non-fiction in a variety of fields, but "So B. It" could equally be classified as mystery, thriller, chick-lit or self-improvement, not to mention children's literature. Truly a story for all ages, to be read over and over again. Soof!
This is destined to be a classic. Sarah Weeks, more, please!3 of 3 people found this review helpful -

"Audio books don't get better than this"
In fact, no book gets better than this. It is beautiful, sad, thrilling and perhaps the best book I have read/heard in years. Sarah Weeks tells more story in 4 and 1/2 hours than most best selling authors tell in a lifetime.
The narrator is every bit as good as the author--a perfect match. Don't hesitate. This is a surefire winner for your next download.2 of 3 people found this review helpful -

"for young adults?"
The summary provided by Audible does not mention this is a book intended for young readers. Not sure age, perhaps grades 6-9. Audible should correct the description to mention this.
Although written for young readers, I wouldn't recommend. The story is disturbing because Heidi has survived in a trapped and highly limiting life, and without much capable adult presence. Then she has to travel with no protection. Are the portrayals of mentally impaired adults realistic? They have tantrums and can hardly be managed by those who care for them, not a balanced or favorable portrayal.
I found the book very, very..... slow moving. The pace was irritating.1 of 4 people found this review helpful
