Publisher's Summary:

Felton Reinstein has never been good with stress. Which is why he's seriously freaking out. Revealing his college choice on national TV? It's a heart attack waiting to happen.

Herbach spun a compelling tale about the inner turmoil of the high school football star who appears to have it all.

Was fun to read a story from a boy's point of view. Herbach spun a compelling tale about the inner turmoil of the high school football star who appears to have it all.

Great read

I was looking for a book to appeal to a 9th grade boy who had a strong dislike for reading. One review said this book was written in the tone of "Catcher in the Rye" by JD Salinger. My student read this book and loved it! He is ready to start reading more Geoff Herback books. His mother is so delighted that her son finally reads without being nagged about doing so!

Interesting

Received timely. Seems interesting. I bought the set if three. My son, age 13, seems interested to read them.

GREAT BOOK!

Picked this book up from our school library. Wanted to see what high school students are reading. I expected one thing but got another. I thought it would be a "football" story. It was a book about emotions! Might order multiple copies to use next year as a lit study!

favorite book like ever

Perfect fantastic inspiring relatable dazzling the bessssst best best best best book yet I love this book great yes long live Felton Reinstein

Publisher's Summary:

From acclaimed author Siobhan Vivian, a novel about the ways sex and love can change a girl.

Natalie Sterling wants to be in control. She wants her friends to be loyal. She wants her classmates to elect her student council president. She wants to find the right guy, not the usual jerk her school has to offer. She wants a good reputation, because she believes that will lead to good things.

But life is messy, and it's very hard to be in control of it. Not when there are freshman girls running around in a pack, trying to get senior guys to sleep with them. Not when your friends have secrets they're no longer comfortable sharing. Not when the boy you once dismissed ends up being the boy you want to sleep with yourself - but only in secret, with nobody ever finding out. Slut or saint? Winner or loser? Natalie is getting tired of these forced choices - and is now going to find a way to live life in the sometimes messy, sometimes wonderful in-between.

Members Reviews:

Sooo dull

The story just meandered along an a painfully slow pace. The main character was completely unlikeable. The nasal narration caused me to cut this off before finishing

Painful

Is there anything you would change about this book?

This was a painful story to listen to. It felt so slow and painful, the narration was horrible (in my opinion). The narrators NORMAL voice was fine and pleasant but once she goes into the different characters they all sound like 1st graders, and not in an adorable funny kind of way! If there was something I could change I'd say the author should have put it aside for a month and read over it again, but with that being said-maybe if I would have read the book and not have listened to it, maybe just maybe that would have been better.

Has Not That Kind of Girl turned you off from other books in this genre?

Not from the genre. One bad book doesn't make the entire genre horrible

Did Emma Meltzer do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Yes you can hear the difference... but they are all made to sound like 1st graders.

Was Not That Kind of Girl worth the listening time?

No it was not

Any additional comments?

Nasal reading (I think it was done on purpose) The sound of the narrators voice when reading in her most natural voice is pleasant but once she is going into certain characters I just got turned off. Maybe she just made Autumn and Spencer sound ridiculous but that is what stuck out to me the most.

ARGH I am so sad this book had so much potential ( or the narration had potential... I may give the book a read and try to not have the nasal 1st grader voices in my head)

Entertaining Listen

Would you listen to Not That Kind of Girl again? Why?

This was an entertaining book which I would listen to again. At times I found the protagonist frustrating and self righteous, (which is kind of the point), but it all comes good in the end.

What did you like best about this story?

This is my second Siobhan Vivian novel.

Title: Rage

Subtitle: A Love Story

Author: Julie Anne Peters

Narrator: Elizabeth Evans

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 7 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-11-13

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 25 votes

Genres: Teens, Fiction & Literature

Publisher's Summary:

A National Book Award Finalist offers an intense portrait of an abusive relationship.

Johanna is steadfast, patient, reliable; the go-to girl, the one everyone can count on. But always being there for others cant give Johanna everything she needs - it cant give her Reeve Hartt.

Reeve is fierce, beautiful, wounded, elusive; a flame that draws Johannas fluttering moth. Johanna is determined to get her, against all advice, and to help her, against all reason. But love isnt always reasonable, right?

In the precarious place where attraction and need collide, a teenager experiences the dark side of a first love, and struggles to find her way into a new light.

Editorial Reviews:

Protagonist Johanna has survived a difficult childhood, and her experiences have made her a rescuer; she nurtures others at cost to herself. Johanna attracts Reeve, the girl she wants badly. Reeve is scarred and broken; her horrible past enrages her. Reeve is abusive to Johanna, who is determined to redeem her violent lover and salvage their toxic relationship. Can Johanna find clarity and manage to change her fate? Narrator Elizabeth Evans gutsy pitch and attitude perfectly match Johannas unflinchingly honest description of life in a poor town. No one is above the fray in this world, everyone seems to give pain as well as receive it. Evans sounds older than the character she portrays, but her plain and pithy delivery manifests Johannas toughness and vulnerability.

Members Reviews:

A love story it isn't.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Yes and no. As a novel no. As a story to understand obsession based on looks yes. Johanna ignores all the signs that tell her Reeve is a user and abusive taker just because she is beautiful to Johanna. Johanna had something missing in her to react like this.

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

Predictable but probably what would happen in a case like this.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Elizabeth Evans?

Yes.

Do you think Rage needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

no. The story was told.

Interesting story, a bit dark in the end

There are many reviews of this on goodreads, so I wont detail out a full review here. The story is interesting and captivating. It covers some dark topics which includes violence, abuse, and volition (in the sense of taking advantage of someone). I was interested in the story, but it was clear it would not end well, from the onset.

This caused me to stop listening for a bit, get my courage up and then continue again. It is very well written and narrated, with a lot of insight into topics and issues raised. I kept hoping that an alternative to Reeve would appear in the story. In the end it didn't, and left me with an unhappy ending, not really sure what the protagonist learned from the experience. I found some of the character reactions a bit unreal, and rushed, but others have said that. I was disappointed with the protagonist and her reactions, not so much what she allowed to happen to herself, but what she allowed to happen to others. This did not sit well with me, and from the novel perspective was inconsistent with her character. Julie Anne Peters produces great works, this one needed a bit more to make it five stars, but also it is rather dark, and I felt it did not need finish in such a way.

Good light read

It's not a deep book but it wasn't shallow either. I enjoyed the series. It was a good series to return to when I wanted a light read.

Wonderfully Weird

Wild Awake is a wonderfully weird debut novel from Hilary T. Smith. Its a creative mishmash of grief, love, art, drugs and mental illness that is strangely compelling. This story stands out in the YA landscape takes you on an unforgettable journey.

Kiri Bird is home alone for six weeks while her parents are on a cruise. Shes a responsible girl and has a list of things to accomplish, including preparing for a piano recital, and winning Battle of the Bands with her crush/ bandmate Lucas. But one phone call changes everything. A stranger calls and says he has Kiris sisters stuff to be picked up. Kiris beloved sister Sukey has been dead for 5 years, and reopening her sisters world brings new insight into her death and sends Kiri over the edge.

Once Kiri ventures to Sukeys former home and into her world, its like a switch is flipped. Kiri becomes a brand new manic person, who is a whirl of creative energy. Its quite jarring to experience, but awesome at the same time. Kiris voice is vivid and real and makes the reader feel the madness.

Kiris partner in crime is new friend Skunk, aka Bicycle Boy. Skunk calls Kiri Crazy Girl, and these two together push each other to the brink. The pair doesnt have a typical romance and youre not sure if they are good together but at the same time you cant help but root for them. I wanted to re-title the book The Adventures of Crazy Girl and Bicycle Boy.

I listened to the audiobook, read by Shannon McManus (Lola and the Boy Next Door). McManus was the perfect conductor for Kiris crazy train, and illustrated her descent into madness. I could not stop listening to this audiobook to see how it would turn out. All the voices were spot on and the pacing matched the tone of the story. Id recommend listening to this one to get the full effect of the characters mental state. Kudos, Shannon McManus!

This book is not your typical YA contemporary and I love Hilary T. Smiths creative voice. There is so much chaotic energy in the writing that is so different from anything else out there. I think a lot of YAs will respond to this book and appreciate this unusual whirlwind of a story.

Sporty-Dead Poets Society

WINGER was magic to my ears. It had all the ingredients: main character with a strong voice, quirky-connectable supporting cast, depth and meaning. But ANDREW SMITH knocked it out of the park with wit and humor.

I enjoyed being in Ryan Dean's head while he worked through his Coming of Age story. Bullying, Man Codes, being apart of a Team and all the boy shenanigans they can come up with. The desire to kiss available lips warring with trying to escape the "friendship" zone with the girl he loves. Care packages with condoms and a "Your First Time" pamphlet from your loving mother.

Ryan Dean is smart, funny with a sensitive side. He unapologetically wears Pokemon underwear. He embraces the "Wild Boy" persona and goes for it, even when fear and uncertainty creep in.

SMITH's words and MARK BOYETT's narration are DY-NO-MITE! MARK captures the young, unsure, geeky Ryan Dean that is a tad unpredictable with throw-up of the month and mind. None of the oddness, wildness, passion or bravado escape his range to express all that WINGER has going on between the covers. He perfectly pegs all the screwballs and neanderthals in the supporting cast of characters. His females are feminine with a little fire. MARK's pacing and emotion create a movie in your mind. He had me there in the moment right along Ryan Dean. I felt like I was in the car with Screaming Ned, shrieking, cussing and losing my shit too.

There will be more SMITH and BOYETT in my future. I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this audiobook.

Loved it!

Listened to this with my 13 year old son (I'm a mom:) on a LONG drive. This book made the time fly!!! At one point I had to turn it off for a sec so I could catch my breath to stop laughing. His book does cover ALL the emotions of a teenage boy...and people in general. I would recommend it to all. Although teenage girls may be totally grossed out by the reality of the boys they think are so wonderful.

Hilariously funny with great narration!

What made the experience of listening to Winger the most enjoyable?

Winger was just really darn funny! I don't know if it needed quite as much swearing, but hey, the narrator is a 14 year-old boy, and we all know how gross and perverted they can be on the inside, at least Ryan Dean doesn't show it on the outside very often. Yes, this story has some swearing and crude humor, but it felt quite realistic to me and the book had me laughing out loud on more than one or two (or three) occasions.

A great reading of a timeless masterpiece

This is a very nice reading of one of the all time great stories. Entertaining for children and thought provoking for adults. Eerily precient.

It's an amazing story!

I read Momo when I was 12 years old and now I am two times old than that. I am learing German so I bought this Deutsch Hörbuch, amazing story and high quality performance made me happy!

Well Worth Your Time

My first attempt at listening to an audio book in German. I chose this book because it's an old favourite that I wanted to re-read anyway. No problem - the reading performance is excellent; very clear, the words easy to distinguish. And the story itself still good, and as poignant today as it was 30-40 years ago when I first read it, about how trying to save time can lead to the exact opposite. (Why don't we ever learn??)

A must read for the child within.

A wonderful book that everybody should listen to, Zeitlos and ageless, für kinder and adults alike.

Disappointingly in German

But it is a wonderful story, full of powerful metaphors and lessons for everyone! How important is the power of listening and how ridiculous is the idea of saving time?

Five Stars

Good book, my sister liked it

Quick Read

DARIUS & TWIG is a quick read and should be popular with reluctant readers. The chapters are short and the story moves quickly. The urban setting and sports theme will be appealing to many boys. The characters are authentic and relatable. The message of friends, family, and hope is powerful.

Get youth started reading the books of WALTER DEAN MYERS with this short read.

Likeable, but slow

Nice, compelling characters, but the dialog often felt forced. These boys just didn't always feel very real. Overall the novel was a little "thin".

Read this book!

I truly loved this book. It is good for anyone wanting an easy read with a message.

for sons summer reading

One of my sons read this book . He said he enjoyed the friendship of Darius and Twig. He keeps go back to his favorite chapters in the book.

Very good cross-level book

I bought a set of these for a small class of high school boys with grade-school reading levels. I was looking for a book with an "Outsiders" feel, about real high school life told from the point of view of teenagers. All of the boys were very reluctant to get started, just because it had page numbers and a cover. (I frequently hear "I don't read books.") All of them eventually realized it was interesting and within their abilities, and there was a lot of independent reading going on. I also offered this book to a girl in a college-prep English class who was looking for something to do in the last days of school. She finished it in a couple of days on her own time and also liked it. I recommend this book.

So good

I was reading this book in class and I like it so much that I bought it it worth the 7.99 plus the 3.49 extra for narration

It's okay

There was an awful long build up for such a small climax but it was a good book! She's definitely written better

Hit and Run

This is an awesome book and I suggest it to anybody. Lurlene McDaniel is a very strong writer and her books help people thew some stuff

Disappointed

The ending...like really??! I've read almost all lurlene books and they are amazing a well as this one but the ending stinks it seems unfinished and I'm really upset about it. This is the best author in history wtf???
