An occasionally entertaining slog

I understand this is YA, but it was overly too simple. Also, it was just the same thing over and over and over again. This book could have been half the size. Also, it’s just a bunch of spoiled rich kids with zero personality. The ending was just straight up dumb. No resolution. The narrator made all the dudes sound like everything they said was a pickup line. Pro: I like the genre. The author is literate. Good atmosphere

It wasn’t scary, not much of a ghost story. Also, enough with the kids and animals, already!

Fun story if you can ignore the narration

I really liked the story. I’ e listened to almost all of Struthers’s books. However, the narration for this was way over the top to the point where I found it embarrassing. A lot of weird whining, sighing, and feigned cynical laughter. No bueno.

McCammon must’ve done a ton of research to write this wonderful book so effectively! As implausible as a werewolf hero may seems, it works. I loved the characters and I was able to envision the times and places as he creates them. The main story was enjoyable, but the character’s origin story was even better.

WWII intrigue isn’t usually my thing, but after reading and thoroughly enjoying Swan Song, I figured I’d give this one a shot. I’m glad I did. While there are some disturbing scenes, they are there for good reason. I was not depressed by the ending ;).

Story: creey, albeit a bit formulaic and predictable. Still, it wa entertaining and evoked excellent visuals.

Performance: The narrator was ok, but kept mispronouncing words. Made me crazy.
