Original Sin

De: Tasmina Perry

Narrado por: Dian Perry

Get inside the glamour with the Sunday Times bestselling author, Tasmina Perry…

Stunning Brooke Asgill is about to marry into one of the richest and most powerful families in the Unites States, and matriarch Meredith Asgill is determined that her daughter will walk down the aisle at whatever cost.

But the Asgill’s are not all they seem and their past is riddled with secrets, lies and tragedy. Enter Tess Garret, a renowned publicist hired to keep the Asgill family ghosts well and truly locked away, at least until the big day is over.

From Manhattan's exclusive upper east side to the tropical beaches of Hawaii. From the couture ateliers of Paris to the colonial mansions of the Florida Keys, Original Sin is a sexy provocative tale of lies, secrets and the lengths some people will go to keep them…

What does Dian Perry bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

she really brings out the characters

if I had the time yes

Another Tasmina Perry gem aren't they all?

I thought she did a great job with the variation of tone of the characters particularly Brooke and Tess.

No

Any additional comments?

I buy all Tasmina Perrys books because every story is so full of intrigue and I cannot get enough of them

not that great at all...

I usually really enjoy books by this author, but the nasal tone of this narrator meant that I couldn't even finish listening to the first part (there are 3).
Maybe its a good book in paper back, but i do not reccommend this at all as an audio book.
Sorry

Painful, but not for the reason you might think

The book itself has some merit, but there are three glaring flaws.

Except for these three flaws, the book would be a solid three star - a perfectly okay way to waste a credit and some time.

Flaw 1 - It sounds as though this is a book based on American characters, written by a UK author. Whoever edited the book did a poor job of adapting it to fit a North American audience. The differences between UK and NA English are slight but glaring, and the mistakes are very annoying to listen to, over and over.

Flaw 2 - the main female character, Brooke, is TSTL (too stupid to live) and if this were a horror novel, she'd be the dumb girl who hears screams from the basement in the middle of the night and decides to go check them out armed only with a hairbrush. She's so dumb that it actually HURTS to listen to her parts of the story.

Flaw 3 - The sex in the book is gross. Just plain gross. Not sexy, not steamy, not gritty and real, not even just dirty. It's just gross. There are three words that sum it up nicely, and are completely burned into my brain.
