      This story seemed like it needed another round of editing and a little more development. The storyline felt rushed and therefore not well thought out and didn’t flow in parts. The most distracting and off-putting was the narrator’s character voices. Oh my!!! I almost stopped listening on so many occasions because her character voices were so annoying and grating, but, I wanted to finish the story just because it has so much potential to be better. The narrator’s natural voice was great so she should stick to reading books that do not require her to use performance voices or just don’t use performance voices AT ALL. Just use your natural voice!
    • 3/5
      It has potential. The writing was a bit amateurish, however it had a good surly line. Also the readers voices needs some work, so it kind of messed up the story for me. Everyone but the main character sounded like the same nerdy persons voice.
    • 5/5
      Light and enjoyable reading; a story of courage, resourcefulness and love; I recommend to teens and you adults.
