The Outliers

De: Kimberly McCreight

Narrado por: Phoebe Strole

From the New York Times best-selling author of Reconstructing Amelia comes a fast-paced teen series where one girl learns that in a world of intrigue, betrayal, and deeply buried secrets, it is vital to trust your instincts.

It all starts with a text: Please, Wylie, I need your help. Wylie hasn't heard from Cassie in over a week, not since their last fight. But that doesn't matter. Cassie's in trouble, so Wylie decides to do what she has done so many times before: save her best friend from herself.

This time it's different, though. Instead of telling Wylie where she is, Cassie sends cryptic clues. And instead of having Wylie come by herself, Jasper shows up saying Cassie sent him to help. Trusting the guy who sent Cassie off the rails doesn't feel right, but Wylie has no choice but to ignore her gut instinct and go with him.

But figuring out where Cassie is goes from difficult to dangerous - fast. As Wylie and Jasper head farther and farther north into the dense woods of Maine, Wylie struggles to control her growing sense that something is really wrong. What isn't Cassie telling them? And could finding her be only the beginning?

In this breakneck tale, New York Times best-selling author Kimberly McCreight brilliantly chronicles a fateful journey that begins with a single decision - and ends up changing everything.

Loved loved this Book. You will not be disappointed!

I totally enjoyed his book. I will recommend to my 16 year old granddaughter and others! I can't wait to read more of your books!

Great Book Great Author

Such a cool story. I loved her other book as well and can’t wait for another one.!!

Great thriller!

This book was really interesting from the beginning to the end. I couldn't stop listening. I did, however, not fully grasp the concept that pulls the whole story line together (didn't really find it as dangerous as the book portrays), but it was still a good read. Although the characters are high school age, they were written very maturely and it was easy to relate to the main character. The details and descriptions were just enough. Not too many that you were bored, but not too little that you were left with questions. It was definitely entertaining.

Don't give up.

This story is certainly not what I expected from the previews and blurb, but I did enjoy it. I have to admit that the second quarter bored me a little and I considered giving up. But I'm certainly glad I continued on and finished the story. Now I'm curious as to when a sequel will release, as I'm that intrigued. The narrator was fabulous, and I think she's what kept me listening.

Not her best

I loved Reconstructing Amelia and Where They Found Her was great as well so maybe my expectations were set a bit high. this book had a diffrent feel to it and it just felt like it was missing a few chapters. The end makes it seem that there is more to come, not sure if that's been confirmed, but I would read it hoping to feel in some gaps.

Keyword……Fantasy!

I stared this book over 3 times around chapter 19….. the description and preview of this book don’t match. It bored me out where I kept losing track of how they got here or there. I think it’s safe to say this book just didn’t hold my attention at all!

Confusion at its best

I kept listening to this book in hopes that SOMETHING would make sense. Even until the very last word... I'm still confused!

Poorly written, not for adults

Poorly written suspense novel that is reflective of the over inflated "self" among Millenials. The protagonist exhibits a number of unattractive qualities that all justified in the end because she finds out that she is different. The characters react in dramatic and over confidant manners that are typical of over entitled teenagers.

Story does pick two third way through in terms of the suspense and pace, but ending doesn't fail to disappoint again as unbelievable.

Horrible Audio Narrator

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The narrator. Don't they have a mute button or something so I don't have to hear her licking her lips/opening her dry mouth/taking a drink?!?!?!

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

Mute button for narrator

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The narrator ruined this story. Everytime I had to hear her open her dry mouth I wanted to throw my phone across the room.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

No.

Good book

Interesting book at some times I foirgot what was actually going on...I will follow this series if it is one..
