![]() It is next to Johnny Cash narration of The new testament. It is better than "The help" the narration is beyond almost any audiobook I have heard. Telling a story of angels and demons with in all of us. This is "The help" in the horrible Columbine/9/11 era. The fact four amazing narrators came together giving each charactersva unique voice in the characters different chapter made it fantastic. What made the experience of listening to Bruiser the most enjoyable? This made up for every bad listen so far this year ![]() I'm not always a fan of multiple narrators for one book, but this flowed incredibly well and each of them captured the essence of the characters they voiced! Brilliantly narrated by a collective group of talented voices: Nick Podehl, Kate Rudd, Luke Daniels and Laura Hamilton! There is no doubt the author, Neal Shusterman, wrote a beautiful story, but the combined efforts of these individuals brought it to another level. ![]() I'd love to get back into the lives of these characters someday. I was relieved and satisfied with the ending, but an epilogue would put my heart in a little better place. A poignant message in this beautiful book, and I think about these characters and this story quite often. I had no idea how much this story would affect me, and I was praying for a good outcome.for everyone.well, almost everyone! Sometimes when you give of yourself there are those willing to give back, even if it means they won't be the same, but it will make you whole again. Brontë and Brewster's siblings, Tennyson and Cody learn a valuable lesson, they were initially quite selfish, but both of them come around when they realize how much Brewster is giving of himself. She didn't let rumors and misconceptions sway her feelings, she saw past what everyone else thought they knew to be true, and was able to see the awesomeness that was a boy named Brewster! If there were only more people like her in this world. She was also strong, determined and I adored her. At times it's painful to read about, and my heart hurt for Brewster.so, so much! Brontë was lovely character, she was kind, compassionate and non-judgmental. The paranormal element worked, it was different, a little strange at first, but once you understand what's happening, it all makes sense. Keep in mind, nothing, nothing at all is at it seems. Brewster "Bruiser", the main male protagonist, has a unique ability, or rather abilities, which I won't touch on so I don't ruin the story for potential readers. In a nutshell, this story centers around how much of yourself your willing to give to protect, shelter, and save those you love. HAPPILY EVERY AFTER IS ALWAYS A CURSE.Ĥ.5 Stars! A deeply touching emotional story! This is a four star story and a five star performance. The emphasis is on the person taking the drugs, there is no talk about the harm done to the player who works hard, trains hard, does his best, but is cheated out of the prize by the cheater. Without giving the plot away, I will mention that there is a part of the story that is similar to taking performance enhancing drugs. This may happen, but I really don't think it is the norm, nor do I think that once a parent gets caught that the affair continues and the marriage continues at the same time. I also had trouble with the premise that all parents have boyfriends and girlfriends on the side. I have not been a teen in a while, so I was a little bored with those parts, yet they were written very well. I would have liked the novel to have been more in the Fantasy realm, but is more about the children and life as a teen. If you are listening and losing interest you might want to skip to 23. I thought that was all it was until chapter 23. This is a young adult novel without doubt. ![]() I SWEAR PARENTS CAN BE SUCH CHILDREN NS is a unique writer, with a writing style that keeps your attention and he dreams up some of the strangest situations. ![]()
