The Fall

De: Ryan Quinn

Narrado por: Kate Rudd, Nick Podehl, Benjamin L. Darcie

Nestled in the Pennsylvania countryside, Florence University frames an idyllic college world, complete with cute coeds and handsome jocks - not to mention plenty of booze and sex with virtually no responsibility. For three seniors approaching graduation, the vagaries of life have rarely been so terrifying.

Film buff Ian is at a loss as to what to do with the rest of his life - or what to do about the football player he has been fantasizing about. Haile is an accomplished classical musician, a veteran violinist who is taking a break from touring to finish her education, explore her dream of becoming a singer-songwriter, and escape her controlling mother. Casey is the handsome football star whose seemingly perfect existence masks an unsatisfactory love life and an inexplicable restlessness for something…more.

Drawn together by their struggles for identity, the three students form a fateful friendship that will change the courses of their lives forever. Sexy, fast paced, and layered with intimate insight about life’s most formative years, The Fall is a compelling coming-of-age story about what happens when we are forced to confront who we are and who we want to become.

RAN OUT OF STORY

Good story premise but then just ended. Wast e of money. So many books are now grossly overhyped. Rarely do the ones, like this, that show in search after search, amount to anything but rubbish.

Another mistake

What would have made The Fall better?

A better classification would have prevented me from buying this audiobook. It is not a gay romance. At least in the first hour (four chapters) there is no mention of anyone being gay. I can see the setup coming, but there are several stories going on here and the gay part is not central so far. This book is 8 and a half hours long, I gave it an hour and all I heard were back stories. It might be a good listen if you like very verbose story telling, but I found it tedious.

What could Ryan Quinn have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

I am sure it is a good book for some, but I expected more of a gay theme from a book listed in the gay and lesbian section.
