MCs are impossible to like
Reviewed: 06-10-25
This story is flat as a pancake, the main characters are impossible to like. Their choices they make don’t make sense and everyone just seems angry, but never know the reason why everyone everyone’s so angry

good story ruined by bad narration
Reviewed: 09-22-16
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
no, the narration was horrible. There are times you hear the pages being turned, the accents are horrible southern twangs, and there are multiple times the narrator starts reading and stops the sentence and repeats it.
What didn’t you like about Iesha Nyree’s performance?
the terrible accents, her starting sentences then stopping and repeating them. The fact you can hear her breathe and pages being turned. The hiss of the recoding the entire time. This might be a better read than a listen
Do you think Genesis needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
Only with a new narrator
Any additional comments?

good story horrible narrator
Reviewed: 07-05-16
What disappointed you about United as One?
the voices do not match the ages of the characters. These are teen agers but the voices given sound like chain smoking adults.Plus the voices do not match from one POV to the next.
Would you be willing to try another one of the narrators’s performances?
no he ruined a good staory for me
Any additional comments?
just use your voice or if you have to differentiate try match ages to the voices of the people you are using

Good story bad hero
Reviewed: 05-05-14
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
yes, its a good book with a great story. My only gripe is I hate the main hero, he is unlikable, literally unlikeable. He is unrelatable, he is given a great gift and is too scared to use them. He over thinks every little bit. What action there is, is very good, when the hero is too scared to move that is.
Would you be willing to try another book from Tom Reynolds? Why or why not?
definitly
What about Tom Reynolds’s performance did you like?
very soothing voice
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
The reluctant hero
