The Importance of Being Alice

I love Katie MacAlister's Dragon and Vampire series. She excels in those genres. I simply do not understand how she can write such terrible contemporary fiction. I also do not understand why I continue to hope for more from her contemporary books and keep buying them.

Katie please go back to Aisling now!!!

That said the characters are flat, the story-line is dull, there is no tension in the narrative or sparkle in the writing. The two primary characters are uninteresting and there is no development of the secondary characters. In fact, they only seem to serve as vehicles for the female heroine to have boring conversations with. The only action, If you can call it that, comes in the last thirty minutes and springs out of nowhere.

The narrators brought absolutely nothing to the story. Especially the Brian Hutchison. His accent was terrible and his voice annoying. Saskia Maarleveld seemed merely uninterested in the whole story.

Don't waste your credit on this book.

Katie Macalister is always a great listen. The only problem is, with this book, the readers both let her down. The accents were BAD and because there were a male and female reader, it was very distracting. That being said, I still enjoyed the story.

This story was mostly very ordinary and predictable. There was one surprise that earned it a second star. The sex scenes are rather graphic, too numerous and boring. The dialogue was cute and amusing but certainly lacked originality. I found the book mostly tedious but the narration was good.

It was simple to love at first sight. showed how love is not easy . That it take patience and time.

I have listened to this book 3 times and I still laugh out loud at several parts. I love how the sex scenes are funny. Elliot's family is beyond bizarre but loving, each in their own way. Unique way. This story is an anti-depressant! I hope each sibling gets his/her own story, as the first few are different, good, and entertaining. Several plots intertwined, and sweet.
This recording has 2 different narrators (one male, one female), and both are excellent. It works very well.

I loved the story itself. Katie Macalister is a fantastic author. It was just what I wanted for a pick me up and lots of laughs. I didn't think the book needed a male narrator at all. I much prefered the female one and it was weird when it went back and forth.
