Gone

Gone Series, Book 1

De: Stacy Claflin

Narrado por: Dave Wright

Macy Mercer only wants a little independence. Eager to prove herself grown up, she goes to a dark, secluded park. She's supposed to meet the boy of her dreams who she met online. But the cute 15-year-old was a fantasy, his pictures fake. She finds herself face to face with Chester Woodran, a man capable of murder.

Distraught over his own missing daughter, Chester insists that Macy replace his lost girl. He locks Macy up, withholds food, and roughs her up, demanding that she call him dad. Under duress from his constant threats and mind games, her hold on reality starts to slip. Clinging to her memories is the only way of holding onto her true identity, not believing that she is Chester's daughter. Otherwise she may never see her family again.

TERRIBLE Narrator!!

I really wanted to like this book. The story (as far as I got) was good, but the narrator ruined it. It was like I was trying to run through mud to get through it. I couldn't finish it. Don't waste your credits on this one.

If only I'd known.

Would you consider the audio edition of Gone to be better than the print version?

I haven't read the book.

What other book might you compare Gone to and why?

To Die For (audio). Both are mystery-suspense type stories about a missing child.

What aspect of Dave Wright’s performance would you have changed?

Most of it. At times he emphasizes the wrong syllable of words. Frequently he reads it as if a person who doesn't understand English well is listening to him.....such as; I DO NOT LIKE THE WAY HE READ IT.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The plight of the kidnapped girl when she was first punished.
The end frustrated me.

Any additional comments?

If I'd have known it was a 3 part story I would have made the other 2 books available on my reader.

Readaholic!

Amazing book and story; narrator wasn't the best, but ok...I'm hooked already! I can't wait to start book 2.

The download is not complete. Not first time!

What did you love best about Gone?

The story was great....until the recording ended and the story was not finished (or at an appropriate stopping point).

What other book might you compare Gone to and why?

2nd time this has happened to me. Really getting frustrated with Audible.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The non-ending.

Whose gone?

Actually frightened me but plan to finish all books no matter what. Gone 2 next.

egh at its finest

Although this book was okay, I feel like the person reading us the book very lack luster. I also understand this is part 1 of a 3 part book and did not realize that until after all ready starting the book. I looked for the other two and Audible does not carry them. so terribly disappointed :(

Great narration!!

I absolutely loved the narration! He had me IN THE STORY. His special effects and change of voices were perfect. 💕👍🏼☺️

The book was captivating and suspenseful, and I can't wait to start the next one of the series 😊

Another "to be continued"

Another book that doesn't have an ending. Can't anyone finish a book??? Seems li!e everyone thinks their books have to be serial. I don't mind books with ongoing characters but could they finish one story!!!!!

nostalgic for me

I mostly got for nostalgia since I'd previously read it when i was a teen. i wish audible had the whole series :/ I wanted to finish the series so bad.

some of Macy's decisions frustrated me tbh.

terrible voice to read the story

terrible voice reading the story! storyline over all kept interest. very end of the book left be wtf!
