Excellent story and the performance was perfect!

This narrator is possibly the best I've ever heard. I would forget that she was reading from a book, because she put so much feeling into it that it seemed real. I always knew which character was speaking because she made them all different enough that it was clear. Amazing!

So histrionic!

Way too long, way over done, way too dramatic. Plenty you can do with 14 hours besides this.

Eye roll worthy

I’m not sure how I finished this book. Its story had potential but somehow couldn’t hold it together. I read or listened to several books a week and this is one book at the top of my worst books yet. Some of the sexual inserts were completely unnecessary thrown in there just because, along with the cuss words. They seemed completely out of place with the rest of the book!
