Original & Moving

Its often hard to go from reading a book in print to listening to an audiobook. You already have a voice in your head or you have an idea of how the characters would say certain things. If the audiobook strays from that too much, the audiobook isnt enjoyable. Im happy to report that this was a seamless transition. I suppose the months between my first reading and this listen had a little bit to do with that. But Alex McKenna is pretty awesome. She has a great voice for As character. Its not super girly, but its not exactly boyish either. Its a bit husky for a female and it really works for A. Theres a good distinction between As voice and Rhiannons voice, so thats good. As voice stays the same throughout the book. I always thought it would have been cool if they hired different people for every day, but I think this works better. The story is told in first person so it makes sense that As voice is consistently the one he hears in his head. McKenna demonstrated emotion, took cues from the text, and delivered the lines smoothly. It was a great audio experience. I recommend giving it a listen.

Conflicted after the ending

Audiobook Review:

The audio itself is enjoyable and easy to listen to. Alex McKennas voice works as the narrator because her voice can sound both male and female which suits As character. There were times when she had to use a female voice to portray a character other than Rhiannon, but it still sounded like Rhiannons voice. Overall, however, her voices for A and Rhiannon worked well for the story; every time I heard Rhiannon or As voice I could picture them and their interactions very well.

Book Review:

Im really not sure how I feel about Every Day. Im a big David Levithan fan, so I was really excited to read this, but I have a few big issues with it.

**The insta-love. A starts off the book in Justins body who happens to be dating Rhiannon. A has never met Rhiannon before being in Justins body, but he (is it okay to refer to A as a male?) is instantly attracted to Rhiannon. He notices things about Rhiannon that Justin apparently never notices or cares about. From this day forward hes head-over-heels in love with her. Sometimes Im okay with insta-love, but most times Im not, and this is another example of when it didnt work for me.

Members Reviews:

A Surprisingly good read

Maybe it's not a children's series of books after all. Serious topics are addressed. Henning Mankell is a wonderful writer

Journey to the end of the world

Mankell is truly a good story teller. This is a coming of age tale with the young boy and his father at odds and several issues especially the future and the past, which needed to be addressed. Sweden is a beautiful country and in some areas completely remote, its interesting to see the contrast. Susan Young

Wonderful Series

Got hooked on the series felt I really got to know the characters and was sad when the story ended. Mankell is an amazing storyteller and read everything he writes.

a great concluding novella

There are four novellas in this Henning Mankell series about young Joel Gustafson's coming of age. It is fascinating to read how Mankell can disclose the inner thoughts and fantasies of this young lad. Read the other three books before you read this one. Start at the beginning to get the complete journey.

Mankell has written a brilliant study of a boy's coming of age

More than just a children's book. Mankell has written a brilliant study of a boy's coming of age. At once tender and brutal, the characters have a depth and life that comes right up off the page.

Nothing is beyond Kristi Carmichael's disdain - her hippie high school, her friend Jacob, her workaholic mom. Yet Kristi has a vulnerable side. She can hear the thoughts of her fellow students calling her fat and gross.

Soon, a school project brings her together with Gusty, her father comes home and drops a bombshell, and a friend comes out of the closet, and suddenly she is left doubting that she can read people at all.

Funny Book

The book wasn't well written, but it was extremely funny and entertaining. I was laughing the whole time, especially at the end. I recommend that you buy it.

An insightful misfit

I picked up Vibes because I was in the mood for a quick, light read. I was pleasantly surprised to find that not only was it fun it had some keen insights to offer. Much of the teen angst was not only believable it was familiar. Acne, body issues, believing you can tell what someone else is thinking, divorce, avoidance, secrets as well as thinking most adults are clueless... yes, this is a reflection of how many teens experience the world. Kristi does her best to drown out everyone and everything yet she can't help take it all in. While overwhelming at times she manages to learn from her mistakes and move on. You can't help but cheer her on.

Overall I found Vibes an enjoyable read with well-developed characters and a tidy yet not predictable ending.

Looooove.

I loved this book in high school. It's easy to relate to, and love the author.

Well Written Look at Teen Angst

When I look back on my days in high school, I can remember that I always thought that the girls had it so easy. They always seemed to be so cool and confident, as opposed to those of us males, who were insecure and scared to death over the prospects of dealing with the opposite sex. It wasn't until my own daughter was in high school that I realized all of the problems facing females.

This book does a good job of exposing the issues of confidence (or lack of it), self esteem and misunderstandings between and within the sexes. It is written from a female point of view, so I doubt many male high school readers will be reading this, but I do think this is a valuable, as well as fun, read for teen females between about the grades of 7 to 10. It will certainly entertain, as well as allow them to realize that many of the feelings they are having are valid and common to all teens.

(If your wondering why a middle aged male is reading this book, relax...I'm reviewing books to be purchased for the opening of a new high school)

WOWZA

Dude, this book was da bomb it had everything you could ask for: an insecure teenager, a school hottie, accidents, deformities, illnesses, betrayals, and best of all romance. This is the book to read

A teen favorite

I read this book when I was 13, and I still remember it. Sure, it's about finding a boyfriend, but I read it over and over and somehow related to the main character.

Quirky

This is a lovely quirky love story. The narrator was excellent, bringing emotion and humour though the many characters.

a varied story but ultimately about young love and of what family means...

Gripping creepy story

Daniel's dad is taking Daniel to Leisure World Holiday Complex for some time away together. Daniel hates exercise and is overweight, so he isn't happy with this choice. His father wants them to get healthy, which means he tries to force Daniel to spend time doing what he hates the most, sport. Daniel is struggling in many different ways. His father is depressed and he's drinking too much, so it's Daniel's task to look after him. The holiday is a complete disaster and Daniel has an entire week to get through.

The holiday complex doesn't have a nice atmosphere and most people aren't friendly. When Daniel meets Lexi he's relieved he's found someone interesting to talk to. Lexi is a good swimmer. She's also really smart and they have a lot in common. However, Lexi is hurt. She's covered in bruises and every time Daniel sees her she's looking worse. What's going on with her, is she hiding a dark secret and is there anything Daniel can do to help her?

Daylight Saving is a beautiful gripping story. I was immediately intrigued by Lexi. It's clear there's something going on with her and I was curious to find out what it was. She's on her own in a creepy holiday complex, which is a great basis for a scary book. Daniel is smart and kindhearted. He does everything he can to help the people he loves, which regularly gets him in trouble. He's been through a lot and this nasty holiday with his father is something he absolutely doesn't need. He's sensitive and knows something isn't right. He's open-minded as well as clever and therefore it was fabulous to see the world through his eyes.

Edward Hogan has written a fantastic ghost story. I love a good spooky read and this book definitely falls into that category. I liked the original setting. The holiday park has a negative vibe, it's eery, there's no kindness and it's a terrible place to be. It's perfect for a good thrilling book. Lexi's mysterious circumstances are adding to the unnerving atmosphere, which is something I found completely spellbinding. I read Daylight Saving in one sitting, it's a wonderfully strange and captivating story.

at last a well written teen read..

fantastic teen read, I really struggle to find teen fiction where the written English and grammar doesn't make me cringe, let alone the plot or the characters. really enjoyed this and have downloaded another more grown up read by the same author to savour another day.

I wanted this to be a GOOD book

I have no idea what possessed me to buy this book. Maybe the insert sounded interesting. I read the first 55 pages~truly BORING!!! The characters~HORRIBLE. I'd like to say the plot was interesting, but the entire book was a mess. I am so tired of spending 15$ on bad books, I have got to start to be more choosy.
