Independent Study

The Testing, Book 2

De: Joelle Charbonneau

Narrado por: Casey Holloway

The powerful second book in the New York Times bestselling Testing trilogy.

In the series debut The Testing, sixteen-year-old Cia Vale was chosen by the United Commonwealth government as one of the best and brightest graduates of all the colonies—a promising leader in the effort to revitalize postwar civilization. In Independent Study, Cia is a freshman at the University in Tosu City with her hometown sweetheart, Tomas.

Though the government has tried to erase her memory of the brutal horrors of The Testing, Cia remembers. Her attempts to expose the ugly truth behind the government’s murderous programs put her—and her loved ones—in a world of danger. But the future of the Commonwealth depends on her.

“The Testing is a chilling and devious dystopian thriller that all fans of The Hunger Games will simply devour. Joelle Charbonneau writes with guts and nerve but also great compassion and heart. Highly recommended.”—Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of Rot & Ruin and Flesh & Bone

Great story better performance than the Testing

Casey's performance was better this time around. She only slipped and said Thomas once. I'm still not sure now these mistakes are getting through.

Great Book!!

This book was as great as the first one. I can't wait to start book 3. I hope it is as good as the first two

100% pick this narrator!!!

Do not think twice about it - pick this narrator! The story is so much more dynamic, engaging, and fun to listen to. The story is exactly the same just a WAY better experience. I listened to the first book with the other narrator even though she received poor reviews and I now wish I had listened to that one with this narrator. I will be listening to the third book with this narrator, no doubt!

Awesome.

Awesome book. Narrator does a great job. This series is incredible. Highly recommend this book!
