It’s not often I can say there isn’t a single thing I dislike about a book. Please note that I listened to the audiobook version narrated by Steve West and Fiona Hardingham. THINGS I LIKED: The settingIs it Scottish, is it Irish? Is it a little of both? I’m not sure. The atmosphereVery gloomy ...
Audiobook rating: 3 starsBook rating: 2.5 starsInitial thoughts: You'd think a book about a girl with a clockwork heart would be memorable. Alas, I can't say that is the case for Ticker. Thinking about what happened in the book, my memory's already hazy about the plot, as though I had read it months...
The Switch The Characters Charlotte “Charlie”Elizabeth “Beth” Lord Jeremy Radcliff - I was quite confused at the end of the story when Charlie calls him Jeremy, during most of the book he just goes by RadcliffOther various friends, foes and waifs. The Story A dizzying tale of twins searching for ...
I LOVED this book. I've never read anything like it. If you think (like I did) after reading the blurb that it's a story about a mad scientist, you're wrong. It's about autism. Well, it's not just about that. There is a creepy, dark plot that you might be able to figure out before the main character...
It happens at the start of every November: the Scorpio Races. Riders attempt to keep hold of their water horses long enough to make it to the finish line. Some riders live. Others die. At age nineteen, Sean Kendrick is the returning champion. He is a young man of few words, and if he has any fears, ...
This wasn't as much fun as other books by Sophie Kinsella but it wasn't terrible, either. It seemed to have more ridiculous points than funny. I also felt more of a connection with Fliss than with Lottie, who, I think, was the main character. But, it wasn't bad, just not great.
Audio Review:In the beginning of this story, it was quite slow. In fact, I had a hard time really getting into the flow of the book. At first, I thought it was the narrators Steve West (reading Sean's chapters) and Fiona Hardingham (reading Puck's chapters). Not because they were bad, but because th...
The narrator choices for this audio were brilliant. I actually can't imagine just reading this one. You fall in love with Puck and her accent right away (voiced by Fiona Hardingham) and Steve West perfectly captures the tough aloofness of Sean Kendrick. The way he says "Mutt Malvern" is perfection.T...
What the hey (in this case, maybe it should be "hay")?!? This can NOT even be the same author who penned the Shiver books. I know she says at the end of the audiobook that she is definitely that person, but I suspect she is part of a house of authors who all publish under one name, a la Carolyn Keen...
n The Scorpio Races, contestants ride on bloodthirsty water horses, and the first to the finish line wins the grand prize. Sean Kendrick is the rider to beat, but Puck Connelly, the first female rider, keeps Sean on his toes. They both are playing for high stakes in this deadly race.I had not heard...
