The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer

Mara Dyer, Book 1

By: Michelle Hodkin

Narrated by: Christy Romano

Mara Dyer believes life can't get any stranger than waking up in a hospital with no memory of how she got there. It can.

She believes there must be more to the accident she can't remember that killed her friends and left her strangely unharmed. There is.

She doesn't believe that after everything she's been through, she can fall in love. She's wrong.

Critic reviews

"Narrator Christy Romano captures the youthful voice of the 17-year- old main character. Mara's sass, worries, and romantic longing all come alive, thanks to Romano's performance." ( AudioFile)

it's ok

I like the story line and where is going, but she reads way too fast. Her reading leaves out expression in the book. But I'm probably still going to read the rest because I want to know where this goes.

One of my favorite book series

This has everything. Romance, drama, action, adventure, and more. I loved reading this and I can't wait to see what happens next in the next book.

I love this series but the narration is only OK

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Maybe not the audiobook but the book itself, yes.

Any additional comments?

I don't understand the rush and choppy was Christy Romano does this performance. The books are SOOOO great and the narration is only OK. :( So sad. It's like when they make your favorite book into a movie and the movie isn't what you expected, it changes how you feel about the book. :\ total bummer.

Wow

If you could sum up The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer in three words, what would they be?

Unpredictable, intense, great read! Couldnt put it down.
Cant Wait for the next one!

What about Christy Romano’s performance did you like?

Christy Romano performance was incredible.

Any additional comments?

Really enjoyed this book!!

did not like the reader

Would you try another book from Michelle Hodkin and/or Christy Romano?

Yes, Michelle Hodkin.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Christy Romano?

I don't know. I really like Emma Galvin, but she has done other similar books, so this might be overkill.

Did The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer inspire you to do anything?

Yeah, read the next book!

Any additional comments?

I read this book (not audio version) a couple years ago. This is one I would recommend reading over audio.
