Emotive

I couldn't stop listening.
The story brought back memories of school day and bullying. An ending to a story that was not predictable. A fantastic audio book. Thank you.

A good story, bit slow but gets there in the end.

At first I thought this was slow, took a while to get into it, the narrator did the best she could with a downcast text. It picks up pace and has a twist at the end. A good one to listen to in the background of doing something else.

Dramatic angst in every sentence drove me mad!!

No. The narration in this book is off putting. Every sentence is said in a climatic fashion, full of angst and build up which just sounds silly when she is simply making a cup of tea!
I couldn't finish it. It was horrible on my ears.
