About this listen

Godspeed was fueled by lies. Now it is ruled by chaos.

It's been three months since Amy was unplugged. The life she always knew is over. And everywhere she looks, she sees the walls of the spaceship Godspeed. But there may just be hope: Elder has assumed leadership of the ship. He's finally free to enact his vision - no more Phydus, no more lies.

But when Elder discovers shocking news about the ship, he and Amy race to discover the truth behind life on Godspeed. They must work together to unlock a puzzle that was set in motion hundreds of years earlier, unable to fight the romance that's growing between them and the chaos that threatens to tear them apart.

In book two of the Across the Universe trilogy, New York Times best-selling author Beth Revis mesmerizes us again with a brilliantly crafted mystery filled with action, suspense, romance, and deep philosophical questions. And this time it all builds to one mind-bending conclusion: They have to get off this ship.

"Revis just might make straight-up sci-fi cool again." (Booklist)

Male reader in mid 40's

Any additional comments?

Yes, I knew this was teen / young adult going in. I really enjoyed the first book and thought it was extremely well done and crossed beyond the Teen/YA boundary to hold it's own in the more mature market as well.

I however was not as pleased with this second book. The whole tone changed a little bit making me wonder if an editor worked hard with Revis to make the first book appeal to a larger audience, but didn't work as hard on this second book. Its feel became a lot more teen based and the whole scavenger hunt thing didn't appeal to me that much.

Again, I know I'm reviewing a teen/YA book, so please bear this in mind with my review. If you are a teen/YA reader, it may very well appeal to you. But for the slightly older crowd (for me anyhow) I did not like this book as much as the first and it seemed to drag on.

The narrators changed also, which never helps with the flow of a book series.

Hate it when there are different narrators

Would you consider the audio edition of A Million Suns to be better than the print version?

No, I think I would like to "hear it in my head" with my own version of Elder and Amy

What did you like best about this story?

different twist on the same old dystrophic love story

Did Tara Carrozza do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Tara did a good job but the I didn't like the narrator for Elder, he sounded too old for a supposed 16yr old.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Overall I liked the book and the narrator's weren't horrible but I liked the narrators from the 1st book

Thumbs up!

Loved it, I couldn't stop! A lot more happens and you find out about all the lies and it's to good.

I have to wait how long for book 3??

I'll make this short. I assume you've read the first book in the series, so you understand about the frozen scientists traveling to a new planet in a ship full of worker bees. Elder is the leader of the worker bees (the citizens of the ship). You might remember from the first book that something was not quite right. A BIG problem was revealed at the end. In this second book, Elder works to find a solution to the problem, all the while unveiling all kinds of exciting twists and turns in the plot.

Should you read book 2?

No!

You have to wait until January to read it, because when you are finished you are going to tear your hair out wanting to read the next book. So yes, of course you should read it (or listen to it, in this case), but do yourself a favor and pace yourself. Book 3 comes out in January 2013. Why not read both at the same time? :-)

Great second book in a trilogy

I can't really process right now how much I loved this story. It is like a dream, a really good one. The two performers are GREAT, they delivered such intense emotions into their reading. Koodo to the production for choosing such remarkable actors to read this enchanting story. Beth Revis is a surprisingly talented writer and this book of hers is gifted with the same talented performance. Naturally, I can't wait to get the third and last audio book of the trilogy.

Why did they change the narrators?

What did you like best about A Million Suns? What did you like least?

Loved the story, hated the two new narrators, especially Lucas Salvano.He talks with NO emotions at all. His voice was the perfect sleeping aid, couldn't get over 5 min. Finally I bought the book and stopped listening. Why do you change the narrators in the middle of a series??

Not crazy about the male narrator!

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The male narrator's voice is a great sleep aid! There's never any inflection in his voice. He bored me.

What did you like best about this story?

Everything! The story is wonderful! I feel like I can't listen fast enough to get to what happens next.

Would you be willing to try another one of Tara Carrozza’s performances?

Sure. I liked her narration.

Could you see A Million Suns being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Absolutely! I would love to see how this story is portrayed on film. As far as the cast, goes... I think I'd like to see some unknowns play the lead characters.
