I don’t know what I was expecting but a roller coaster of smiles, laughs and tears was not on my radar.

Oh My Goodness

Revisado: 03-31-19

I have not binge listened with the intensity of this book in a LONG LONG time. Jane is a self diagnosed sociopath who loses her best friend and “soul” Meg. Afterwards, this woman who believes she has no emotion or empathy takes it unto herself to seek justice for the horrors inflicted upon her dearest friend by the man Meg had believed loved her.
Jane is quick to declare that her self diagnosis makes her evil, bad, etc but ultimately as more and more information comes to light it is very clear that “bad” isn’t something people can diagnose because this “good man” is not at all good.

Getting to know the staff

Revisado: 04-27-18

The fantastic part of reading the short stories in the series is having the opportunity to get to know some of the other characters in the St. Mary's universe. On this particular journey the pods remain unused but that does not prevent this from being a lively historical adventure.
To the rare tune of storytelling by other members of the staff we are brought back in time to experience history through the eyes of characters usually left to themselves.

One bad decision

Revisado: 01-19-18

I am an audiobook fanatic, but let's be realistic - a huge factor in listening to a book rather than reading it is the ability of the narrator to bring the words to life in a meaningful way.
Often having an author read is a good move. They understand the passion and intent behind a story to a much fuller extent than anyone else ever could. That being said in this particular case it was a horrible horrible decision. As powerful and moving as the words were I simply couldn't get past the monotone reading. I wanted to feel, but there was absolutely nothing human in the voice reading the tale. She was simply unable to bring the story to life in any better capacity than a robotic early '90s computer. I wish I had read this on paper instead.

Addictive

I could not resist this story. I wasn't sure if it was my style in the beginning and yet by the end I was shivering with the power of emotions coursing through my being.

Beautiful

Revisado: 09-23-17

I don't have enough words for how I feel about this book, but I will try. I feared this would become an unrealistic "glorious journey through tragedy" as some memoirs do but I didn't find that to be the case. This felt like an honest self discover version of Katie's story and that she performed it herself made it all the better for me. While I'm sure there's no way to describe the horrors she endured to the extent she endured them I felt I was along for her journey. I was glad to see that no one was painted evil or saintly, as we are all just people with both good and bad moments. This is a story I will remember and advise others to take the time to enjoy.

Solid story with a refreshing concept

Revisado: 05-22-17

This was a wonderfully refreshing twist in the world of YA reading. I'm often a reader of the genre as a light read between novels but lately it's been a lot of similar style tales woven in slightly varying fashions. However, Caraval had me unsteady and eager to await the next phase of the adventure. It was a wonderful mix of the fantastical with a touch of mystery and intrigue.
The main character is someone I could cheer for without being unrealistically "perfect". Very well worth the read!
