Open Minds

Mindjack, Book 1

De: Susan Kaye Quinn

Narrado por: Kelli Shane

When everyone reads minds, a secret is a dangerous thing to keep.

Sixteen-year-old Kira Moore is a zero, someone who can't read thoughts or be read by others. Zeros are outcasts who can't be trusted, leaving her no chance with Raf, a regular mind reader and the best friend she secretly loves. When she accidentally controls Raf's mind and nearly kills him, Kira tries to hide her frightening new ability from her family and an increasingly suspicious Raf. But lies tangle around her, and she's dragged deep into a hidden underworld of mind jackers, where having to mind control everyone she loves is just the beginning of the deadly choices before her.

What a wonderful surprise

What did you love best about Open Minds?

I wasn't expecting this book to be like it was so it was a great surprise and an enjoyment. I'd wake up in the middle of the night just to listen to it.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Don't mess with a Jacker

Any additional comments?

I look forward to the other 2 books in this trilogy and I hope they are as good as the first because I want to know the rest of this story. This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review courtesy of AudiobookBoom

Open Minds

Any additional comments?

Creative, engaging and entertaining story. Interesting concept and plotline. Really like the world the author has created. Living in a world where everyone can read minds. That's a scary thought. Every thought open to the world. No thank you.

How can you keep a secret in a world where everyone can read minds? A very dangerous secret.

Kira Moore thinks she is a Zero. She is about to find out that she is much, much more. A Mindjacker. Something that is a very dangerous thing to be. With Simon to show her how to use her new abilities Kira discovers a whole new world. As Kira is discovering her "new" world, she has also been discovered.
Don't really care for the love triangle.

Kelli Shane does the narration for this book. The narration is to monotone, no inflection, no emotion. She does have different character voices, some of which are very good. Her young sounding voice does fit the story. I had to listen a little at a time which is a shame because I really did enjoy the story. I do have to say she is a better narrator than many I have listened to.

Scary idea...

The narrator is all monotone. I wouldn't say it was easy to follow listening but the story is an interesting idea. Story seems rushed and poorly edited in parts.

Great story all around!

Open Minds is an excellent read! The storyline is original and nicely written. In this society most people are Readers, meaning they read minds and talk through common consciousness. Those that can’t read are labeled Zero’s. Kira is a zero or at least she thinks so until she’s introduced to mind-jacking then a whole new world is opened up for her.
Along with reading and min-jacking Kira is also a regular teenage girl who has a massive crush on her best friend Raf. He’s a reader and since she’s a zero thinks he’s not interested in her other than friendship. When she meets Simon she falls hook, line and sinker but, even that gets complicated.
Something that really got me is how the author adds tastes and scents to people’s minds, very creative. I enjoyed Kelli Shane’s performance as much as I loved the story. I thought she was a perfect match. Great story all around!
