Fellside

By: M. R. Carey

Narrated by: Finty Williams

The unmissable and highly anticipated new literary thriller from the author of the international phenomenon The Girl with All the Gifts.

Fellside is a maximum security prison on the edge of the Yorkshire Moors. It's not the kind of place you'd want to end up. But it's where Jess Moulson could be spending the rest of her life.

It's a place where even the walls whisper.

And one voice belongs to a little boy with a message for Jess.

Will she listen?

Critic reviews

"Heartfelt, remorseless and painfully human...as fresh as it is terrifying. A jewel." (Joss Whedon on Girl with All the Gifts)

"Unique and terrifying." ( Booklist on The Girl with All the Gifts)

"An instant favorite." ( Boing Boing on The Girl with All the Gifts)

Strange & some interesting elements, buried inside

I almost gave up on this book part about 1/3 of the way through, because I was really getting bored of the "life in jail" description of inmates, crime rings, and crooked guards. I really didn't care. But then along came an interesting element - a character with the ability to walk through dreams, and to teach others to come along for the ride. Those psychic trips added an interesting element, but ultimately there wasn't too much to make me really care about any of the characters very much.

M.R. Carey is a Favorite

Loved reading "Girl With All the Gifts" and "Fellside" certainly didn't disappoint! wonderfully done and beautifully narrated. I want to hear everything Finty Williams does!

Good story and performance!

Any additional comments?

Conceptually, I really enjoyed this book. I love paranormal stories and crime novels...this was a little bit of both. I had this book on my wishlist for a while, since having read TGWATG, but I kept reading reviews that this book was not as good, so I put off listening to it. I agree with other reviews that I really didn't feel invested in any characters. It was a good story, good characters, good ending, but nothing that made me say, "WOW, didn't see that coming" or anything like that. I didn't "feel" for any of the characters, I was just along for the ride, I guess. I enjoyed the ride, nonetheless, but just not enough for a 5-star review. The narrator was the same from TGWATG, and I did enjoy her performance.

Most Excellent Story

This audiobook grabs you from start to finish. Great narration as well.
I definitely recommend this.

What a book!

didn't want to let this one go. would sit in the car in the parking lot to finish chapters so no one would interup the story

Good mystery story

Really liked it but the plot could've unraveled a little faster. It was different which is great in my eyes.

Great escape!

I found it hard to get into initially but once it got going, I was very invested! What Jess had to go through for someone else's sins was terrible but I'm glad the author took the path she did. I ended up liking the book very much!

Fellside

Stick with it

A little slow in the start to the point where I almost gave up on it. I'm glad I stuck through to the end. Great narration and performance.
