Touch

De: Claire North

Narrado por: Peter Kenny

Touch is an electrifying thriller by the author of The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August and 84K.

He tried to take my life. Instead, I took his.
It was a long time ago. I remember it was dark, and I didn't see my killer until it was too late. As I died, my hand touched his. That's when the first switch took place.
Suddenly, I was looking through the eyes of my killer, and I was watching myself die. Now switching is easy. I can jump from body to body, have any life, be anyone.
Some people touch lives. Others take them. I do both.

Her writing is witty, fast paced and fun.

Awesome Performance, but hard to follow

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Probably not. I really enjoyed The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August, but I think this book was a little hard to follow. I usually enjoy novels from different points of view, but I felt like this one flipped back and forth between flash backs and current storyline so much, it took a while to figure out where I left off when I'd stop listening and then start listening again.

What about Peter Kenny’s performance did you like?

Petter Kenny is an amazing voice actor. You really feel like each character is a distinct performer.

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

Yes.

Very good book

I really liked this book. It is very detailed in the describing the main characters emotions in their present situation. Really well written and the story takes turns you don't see coming.

Fantastic

Listened to Harry August and loved it. Love this one almost as much. The author just... The characters feel so real.

Awesome

Just great!!! Love it! Together w First 15 lives of Harry August - easily the best reads of 2015.
