Disappointing narration

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Yes, I was quite eager to see if Anna would finally get the freedom and happiness she longed for.

Would you recommend 34 Days to your friends? Why or why not?

Possibly.

How could the performance have been better?

The narrator sounded like she was reading out a statement as opposed to a story. It could just as easily have been a shopping list. It was quite rushed and flat.

Was 34 Days worth the listening time?

Yes

A fantastic story, diabolical narration.

A fantastic story, which was totally ruined because of the many continuity errors in the narration. From the beginning right through to the end this audioboook was peppered with sentences and phrases repeated, sentences running into the next one without a break, unexpected pauses, etc etc.
Doesn’t audible employ proof listeners?

Very Interesting

I thought this was a very interesting and unusual story and Ms Waller executes it very well. There are plenty of twists and turns, and slowly but surely the full horror of the situation is revealed. Well written with carefully created characters, this is an author who I look forward to reading more.

Good Story

The narrator spoilt the audio book completely narrating at a spped of lighting, the story would have been good otherwise

Recording very poor

Very poor editing, no natural pauses, giving it a manic feel. Some sentences repeated twice. However, the storyline is good but stuck to the written version.

AN ABSOLUTE MUST READ

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

Definitely! It's a fantastic book

What did you like best about this story?

Can't say without spoiling the story

Which scene did you most enjoy?

Too hard to choose

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I sobbed like a baby!

Any additional comments?

Have you ever thought about necessary murder?  You know, the type of murder that HAS to happen, not just for fun or because you are a sociopath but because someone just needs to die? No? Me neither until I read 34 Days!
When Anna leaves her abusive marriage little does she know the effect that decision will have on her whole family. Of course she knew there would be upset from her children, although they are all grown up now, she still tries to protect them from the truth behind her decision.
She needn't have bothered, they all knew the truth about their father and, in actual fact, were pleased for her!
Then events take a murky turn and Anna is forced to choose a path of deceit and a tangled web of lies.
What an absolutely stunning book!
Anita's writing is brilliant, from the first page to the last, this story will have you completely hooked. It's such a cliché but it really is a gripping, twisted tale that will leave you guessing about the outcome till the VERY LAST page!
I loved all the characters (apart from the baddy, but I'm not telling you who that is!), I totally fell in love with Anna, what a woman to survive at the hands of her abusive husband and come out the other side with such dignity.
This book has everything, love, family matters, laughter and tears (yes I sobbed like a baby last night!) it really is wonderful and an absolute MUST READ!!!!
I listened to the audio version and it is really well read by the narrator, she talks a little fast but once you get used to that it really works.

Great story shame about the narration

I ended up having to read the book on my kindle due to the terrible narration! It was driving me crazy!! The narrator was reading that fast with no pauses between sentences and as it was read in such a monotone way, you couldn't tell which character was speaking as it all merged into one! I have listened to many audio books and I've not had any which has made me switch off !!
