Shatter Me

De: Tahereh Mafi

Narrado por: Kate Simses

The gripping first installment in New York Times bestselling author Tahereh Mafi’s Shatter Me series.

One touch is all it takes. One touch, and Juliette Ferrars can leave a fully grown man gasping for air. One touch, and she can kill.

No one knows why Juliette has such incredible power. It feels like a curse, a burden that one person alone could never bear. But The Reestablishment sees it as a gift, sees her as an opportunity. An opportunity for a deadly weapon.

Juliette has never fought for herself before. But when she’s reunited with the one person who ever cared about her, she finds a strength she never knew she had.

And don’t miss Defy Me, the shocking fifth book in the Shatter Me series!

Child like voice and weird scratching noises

Book overall is good. I do not like the childish voice of the reader. Plus there we’re random scratching noises throughout the book that I think was supposed to assist with the performance, however I find it annoying. It’s an audio book and the words alone emphasized the correct way should make the performance, not additional noises like in movies and plays.

4 stars not the best.

Not the best story but it’s alright . Bottom of my 2022 reads . Don’t waste a credit .

Holy dramatics

I am honestly shocked at how overly dramatic this book was, even for a YA. Just about every single line was a metaphor “my throat is cotton” “my heart is a puddle.” I’ve never seen an author overuse them to the point where the story is hardly being told, because the metaphors of her feelings and their surroundings are just taking up the entire book. I also found it odd that the narrator sounds so young. I understand that isn’t something the actual voice actor can control, but I think it was a weird choice to choose someone who sounds 9-10 years old, when there is heavy romance/sexualized scenes. Overall, I think the story got better towards the very very end once the setting changed. I would definitely be interested in the next book just for the storyline alone, but not sure I can handle the writing style as it was hard to get through.

Wouldn’t recommend to my friends

Starts off strong - then just nose dives into a confusing ending. Maybe this is first in a series? Not even interested enough in the characters to find out.

3.5 ⭐

incredible storytelling and voicing of the different characters. i wouldn't have been able to read this book, and i feel like it's a much better story in audio form.
