Members Reviews:

Outstanding book in a strong series

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would unquestionably recommend this to anyone who enjoys entertaining reading (some don't, apparently--- go figure). Mia's struggle with depression (and her struggle with the diagnosis of depression) is real without being heavy-handed, and alternates between witty, charming, and (literally) laugh-out-loud funny, and even though I'm roughly three times the viewpoint character's age, completely identifiable. It takes me a moment to think of authors who can handle first-person as deftly as Cabot. Proust? McKinley?

What did you like best about this story?

Cabot's sense of humor can liven the dreariest day, and her consciousness of the social Umwelt of the crested North American teenager can lead to startling moments of eye-opening awareness. That's why I love her books in audio format--- I can look up and see the characters she describes all around me without interrupting the story.

Which character as performed by Clea Lewis was your favorite?

Clea Lewis is a more-than-competent narrator, but where she shines is in the delicious b*tchiness of the characters of Lilly Moscovitz and Her Imperious Highness, Grand-mere.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes. Cabot's work is nourishing and delicious, craving-inducing even, but she doesn't take much digestion, if you'll forgive the stretched metaphor.

Not appropriate for certain ages or settings

What disappointed you about Princess Mia?

The language that was used in a book for children, even though they are older children. The content was rather shallow.

What could Meg Cabot have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Kept it cleaner and more appropriate for middle school girls.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disappointment

Good story Great Narrator

Would you listen to Princess Mia again? Why?

Yes because its a really good story and i like how the Narrator does some parts

What was one of the most memorable moments of Princess Mia?

When Mia's boyfriend asks her to the prom with a ring.

Have you listened to any of Clea Lewiss other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes and this one is as good as they always are

Any additional comments?

This series is a really good read and listen even though the movie was so far off.

Strong emotional reading.

Publisher's Summary:

When Nick meets Caitlin, he thinks that she is the answer to all his problems. Caitlin is everything Nick has ever wanted: beautiful, talented, and in love with him. But then it all changes. And Nick must face the fact that he's gotten more from his father than green eyes and money.

In a harrowing journey of self-discovery, Nick learns the truth about himself - and that the phrase "like father, like son" can carry terrifying possibilities.

Critic Reviews:

"A gripping tale." (Publishers Weekly) "An open and honest portrayal of an all-too-common problem." (School Library Journal)

"Jon Cryer brilliantly captures the surly, sullen tone of 16-year-old Nick Andreas' first-person narration." (AudioFile)

Members Reviews:

Compelling Reading of an Important Story

I initially picked up this book to see how its title compared with my soon-to-be-published MG read BREATHE, then understood it had nothing to do with that at all.

Domestic abuse knows no boundaries, and the affluent have their share of said concerns as does anyone else. Nic Andreas is a 16 year old in love with his first girlfriend--yet he can't show love to her not knowing he didn't learn it from his home life to begin with. Thankfully, the author of this book doesn't turn the ending into a typical Brady Bunch one, nor does it hold an "Afterschool Special"-esque romp through a serious issue. How Nic handles his problems--or more accurately, how he was forced to handle his business--is a refreshing, touching, sometimes witty look inside the many hearts and souls of abused and abusing men. This story does any guy in Nic's position justice and kudos to Flinn in telling this from the male's POV as gracefully as she does for a change.

You won't see this book on one of Oprah's Book Club selections, though considering this topic is often on her program, it should be. I found myself feeling for the characters deeper emotions than just sorry or regret, to my surprise; I wanted to get deeper why abuse does what it does, and how to resolve that voice when it still hits close to home.

My one issue with this read: the author fails to resolve why Nic's mother isn't in the picture. . .but as a writer, I understand within the context of the story why the author didn't spell this out. It's already understood why she's not around--and for Nic to relive this would've sunk this otherwise fine read into the politically correct, touchy-feely tissue-fest afterschool specials and Oprah is well-known for. I don't thing Nic's finding this out would've boded well for him, either.

This download comes highly recommended and is one of many re-reads that'll remain in my library.

I love this book

This book feels as real as anything I've been through. What a great great book!!

My Class loves it!

I teach 10 grade English and selected this book for our short novel. The students love it! The good readers are ahead of the audio and the lower level readers are keeping up and want to borrow the audio after class! This says volumes about the book! Great read and excellent reader!

Want To Read An Amazing Book Then Read This One

Would you listen to Breathing Underwater again? Why?

I would listen to Breathing Underwater again because its a good book and the audio it amazing.

Publisher's Summary:

Everyone jets back to NYC for Serena's New Year's party, during which Nate and Blair may or may not finally go all the way, and Serena may or may not be discovered to be the secret fling of Hollywood's hottest young leading man.

Critic Reviews:

"The book has the effect of gossip itself: once you enter, it's hard to extract yourself." (Publisher's Weekly)

Members Reviews:

Love the Story, Can't Stand the Narrator

This narrator manage to make Vanessa to have a strong foreign accent. She makes some of the girls sound like elementary school kids while Blair sounds like a hysteric 30-something woman. She reads each chapter's title in a harsh, loud, roaring manner.

I was trying to listen to the whole audio book but this narrator's horrible performance makes it hard for me to focus on what she was saying.

Story Great, Narrator HORRIBLE

The narrator of this story is absolutely, positively AWFUL. I couldn't wait to get to the end of the story just so I wouldn't have to listen to her butcher it anymore!

Barely listenable

This narrator is terrible. I lost count of the number of words she mispronounced (Tribeca rhymed with paprika), and her voices made all of the characters seem dim and unlikeable. I liked the first to GG stories, but this narrator ruined the series for me. Run away from this one!

the voices are just ridiculous

I guess Edwina Wren is a very cool person cause she doesnt mind one bit making a fool out of herself, all the voices she makes (yes, there is a voice for each character) are just ridiculous, like embarrassing, I am glad I wore headphones the whole time because I would have felt really silly if someone heard me listening to that )

The voice when there is no conversation going on is actually really good, but there is a lot of conversations in the book

Not appropriate

As a librarian, I thought I would try out this audiobook aimed at the 12 - 15 age group. I was very disappointed. Even though it is difficult for me to view this from a "tween" perspective it is easy to say as a children's librarian that this is not well done nor age appropriate for the intended audience. Words are frequently mispronounced by the reader and accents are not consistent. In addition, the topics include casual sex, language, light usage of drugs and alcohol by underage students. I was disappointed. The author appeared to believe that by dropping expensive labels the book would be readable. The author was wrong and the writing was not enhanced by the reading.

Title: The Second Summer of the Sisterhood

Author: Ann Brashares

Narrator: Amy Povich

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 7 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-11-04

Publisher: Listening Library

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 368 votes

Genres: Teens, Romance & Friendship

Publisher's Summary:

Bridget: Impulsively sets off for Alabama, wanting to both confront her demons about her family and avoid them all at once.

Lena: Spends a blissful week with Kostos, making the unexplainable silence that follows his visit even more painful.

Carmen: Is concerned that her mother is making a fool of herself over a man. When she discovers that her mother borrowed the Pants to wear on a date, she's certain of it.

Tibby: Not about to spend another summer working at Wallman's, she takes a film course only to find it's what happens off-camera that teaches her the most.

Critic Reviews:

"Brashares has deftly interwoven the story's strands to convey the relaxed intimacy of the girls' friendships as well as the many parallels in their individual experiences....big-hearted, complex tale of living, learning, and caring." (School Library Journal)

"A happy, ultimately hopeful book, easy to read and gentle in its important lessons. Readers will want at least one more summer of the sisterhood of the traveling pants." (Booklist)

Members Reviews:

Fabulous

Another fantastic summer with the Sisterhood. If you've listened to the first book, you'll pick right up with the girls, who are really young ladies in the sequel. I thought the book was a little slow at the start, but once it gets going, you'll sit in the car for "just another minute" after you reach your destination. The second half has several "I-can't-cry-because-I'm driving" moments.

The third book is due out in January, and I will purchase that one as soon as Audible has it available.

Another hit

Brashares does it again in the Second Summer! I was again drawn into the world of the Sisterhood, and I laughed and cried, felt lost and triumphed right along with the girls. If you haven't read the first book, I highly recommend doing so before falling into this one.

More of the same

If you liked the First "Traveling Pants", try the second volume. It's basically more of the same... same characters with the same youthful faults and the same predictable happy ending. With that said- this was a very entertaining listen. It was not heavy, which is perfect for the summer or vacation listen.

Excellent installment

I adore this series, and the second book does not disappoint. Emotionally complex, compassionate, wise, and very satisfying.

Quick Listen

What did you love best about The Second Summer of the Sisterhood?

The girls are growing up. I find myself really wanting them all to succeed and find themselves. This summer was more complicated and their situations were a bit more serious than the first.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I liked Carmen in the first book best, but Tibby in this one. I relate to her the most. She makes mistakes, but she tries to correct them.

Which scene was your favorite?

B, on the soccer field.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Tibby and her movie

Any additional comments?

I am downloading the third summer right away to see what comes next. Hopefully, their relationships are a little bit better next summer. That is my only complaint- How the girls seem to be so enthralled by guys. I understand its a teen book, and they are teenagers. However, I'm starting to tune out Lena's life.

Title: Wonders of the Invisible World

Publisher's Summary:

Seventeen-year-old Aidan Lockwood lives in the sleepy farming community of Temperance, Ohio - known for its cattle ranches and not much else. That is until Jarrod, a friend he hasn't seen in five years, moves back to town and opens Aidan's eyes in startling ways: to Aidan's ability to see the spirit world; to the red-bearded specter of Death; to a family curse that has claimed the lives of the Lockwood men one by one...and to the new feelings he has developed for Jarrod.

Members Reviews:

Can't find enough good adjectives.

Barzak's supernatural themed book about a teen in a small Ohio town finding the truth about himself, his family, and dealing with the secrets is engrossing. It is a wonderful story that pulls you in and keeps you reading and listening. It is a great coming of age story that displays a lot of the magic of love and the blurred lines between life and death.

Slow but well writeen

What made the experience of listening to Wonders of the Invisible World the most enjoyable?

As we age, we start snubbing stories like this but I'm glad I gave this book a try.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

The story just simmered down.

What about Michael Crouchs performance did you like?

He made the characters come to life.

Great Supernatural Story and Good Narration

Would you listen to Wonders of the Invisible World again? Why?

Maybe not. A big draw for this book is the suspense of figuring out what Aidan has forgotten so I'm not sure it would be as enjoyable a second time.

What did you like best about this story?

I love that it's a story with a queer romance, but that's not the main point of the story. It's so hard to find books that include queer characters without it being a book "about" being queer.

What about Michael Crouchs performance did you like?

I tend to like a more minimal performance, and Michael Crouch did that. He did some voices and accents where appropriate, but they were pretty subtle.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I usually listen to books in my car, so I didn't listen all at once. There were a couple of times I didn't want to get out of the car, though.

Any additional comments?

I really liked this story overall. I'm not sure that it has a lot of staying power. The conclusion felt a bit simplistic in the way that everything was wrapped up. However, it was a really good and fun listen and I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Slow to start but worth it!

The narration is fabulous. The story is a bit slow at the beginning, I almost gave up on it. But, once it gets going, it's great and you'll be hooked!

I just want more!

I loved the crafted world and the unique narration. I loved this book from start to finish. Anyone wanting a unique and gripping tale, please, try this one.

Publisher's Summary:

Losing your ability to speak at the age of 17; it's not normal or fair. But trauma has a way of throwing normality out the window. Dani lives anything but a normal life: her sister is married to one of the biggest names in Hollywood, her best friends are rock stars, and she has more love around her than most people experience in a lifetime. But that doesn't change the fact their parents are dead, or that it's her fault. It seems her new normal is being a mute, living on the inside, unable to actually communicate on the outside. That is until Hollywood's newest heartthrob Lincoln Greene hires her as his assistant for the summer. He's gorgeous, completely unavailable, and unobtainable. But that doesn't stop her from wondering, if things were different, would he want her? If she was whole, would he be the other half?

Members Reviews:

Great story

I enjoyed the story around these two. Definitely need to read the seaside series. It refers to those characters so much. This is a good young adult book because the steamy parts are non existent but it didnt take away from the love story of a girl that survived a traumatic loss and a Hollywood heart throb.

Not bad

The story is sweet. I wish I would have known it was more for teens. Since the girl in the story is 17.

Are the stars of The Fame Game ready for their close-ups?

Madison Parker has discovered that not all publicity is good publicity. After turning herself in for stealing some bling, the reality star is stuck doing community service while her Fame Game castmates soak up all the screen time. Not that newcomer Kate Hayes needs more attention - ever since her breakout song became an overnight sensation she's suddenly acting like she's Katy Perry.

Aspiring actress Carmen Curtis is finally making a name for herself, but she's finding it harder than ever to get out from behind her famous mother's shadow. And in Hollywood, leading men are a dime a dozen, but a good man is hard to find. So when two of the girls have their eye on the same guy, that can mean only one thing: on-camera drama.

In the second novel in best-selling author Lauren Conrad's Fame Game series, friendships are tested, lines are crossed, and fashion crimes are committed - and that's before the cameras even start rolling.

Good listen for 'The Hills' fans.

Any additional comments?

I was a fan of 'The Hills' when it aired and watched it all the time. This is pretty much just like it, and I love it. Nice easy listen, and I liked trying to figured out who each character was in real life.

Jenna was the perfect narrator for these books. She does voices for some characters too. She is just great!

Is this worth a credit? If ur a 'The Hills' fan then yes most definitely!

Loved It

Loved it as much as I did the trilogy.

A different narrative would have been nice though. I adore Cris Dukehart's voice. But a different voice for a new storyline would have worked.
