The Haters

De: Jesse Andrews

Narrado por: Michael Crouch

From Jesse Andrews, author of the New York Times bestselling Me and Earl and the Dying Girl and screenwriter of the Sundance award–winning motion picture of the same name, comes a groundbreaking young adult novel about music, love, friendship, and freedom as three young musicians follow a quest to escape the law long enough to play the amazing show they hope (but also doubt) they have in them.

Inspired by the years he spent playing bass in a band himself, The Haters is Jesse Andrews’s road trip adventure about a trio of jazz-camp escapees who, against every realistic expectation, become a band.

For Wes and his best friend, Corey, jazz camp turns out to be lame. It’s pretty much all dudes talking in Jazz Voice. But then they jam with Ash, a charismatic girl with an unusual sound, and the three just click. It’s three and a half hours of pure musical magic, and Ash makes a decision: They need to hit the road. Because the road, not summer camp, is where bands get good. Before Wes and Corey know it, they’re in Ash’s SUV heading south, and The Haters Summer of Hate Tour has begun.

In his second novel, Andrews again brings his brilliant and distinctive voice to YA, in the perfect book for music lovers, fans of The Commitments and High Fidelity, or anyone who has ever loved—and hated—a song or a band. This witty, funny coming-of-age novel is contemporary fiction at its best.

One of the best books that I have read so far

Basically I love the story is really explain also the only thing is that they left me hanging with some parts and make me think of something that they actually never say what happen

Good performance

So I really liked this audiobook. The story itself seemed a bit much at times, and the sex scene was unnecessary, but I liked the story and listening to the characters progress.

yesomg yes

It made me want to do harm to my own dick it was so good.

Well written, well read, not for kids

This is a coming-of-age story about three misfit teens who run off together. It's great story telling. I'm not sure what age group it's for since some parts are sexually explicit. I would call this 15+.

Highly recommended.

Excellent, real dialogue. Voice personification is top-notch! Criminal to have this on banned book lists!

the haters is a good one

it starts all kind of slow and it's not really good it's a fun little story

coming of age melodrama

The narrator was fine but the format of the dialogue would be better as a text or in as drama for preteens. It was not affective in a audiobook format.
