This is the slowest book I've read in this series. I thoroughly enjoyed the other three but this one dragged on and on was very little happening and a terrible narration. Fiona Shaw just whispers the whole thing and it's as if you're listening to it through a bucket of molasses. I had to turn the speed up to one and a half just to get through it. Spoiler alert : Steven's death scene was so fucking boring I couldn't even listen to it. I had to skip it. I skipped 80% of the book Steven's death until the end. I don't even know how it finished and I don't care.

Awful mix of sci-fi and high school relationships. The narration is just as bad as the writing. I couldn't finish it.

20% through and I can't finish. Not a single character has been developed. Story is ridiculous. Don't waste your time.

I couldn't finish. This is the most boring book I've tried to listen to in years. It just drones on and on and I could not have cared less what happened. i just wanted it to stop.

I usually love Thomas Perry but this was so unbelievable and not as well written as his books usually are. The narrator was just okay but her accents were rather annoying and I couldn't tell the bad guys apart.

This was really hard to get through. The plots have become increasingly complicated and unrealistic as the series goes on but the biggest problem with this book is the sound. The volume is all over the map. The narrator speaks in almost a whisper and on the next page is yelling. I never could get any consistent level so I was constantly adjusting the volume and rewinding tocatch what I missed. Very frustrating.

Ok story but predictable. Narration just ok. Doesn't distinguish between characters well. Passed the time.

I've read lots of young adult fiction but I wasn't impressed with this. The premise is interesting but it was poorly written - like a 10th grade creative writing assignment. It needed another rewrite or two to polish it up before publication.

I usually like Christopher Moore but this is boring and stupid. Guess this is just a one off.

Simon Vance is as good as ever but he can't redeem this drivel. Boring, idiotic and completely predictable. Couldn't finish it.
