About this listen

For fans of Anthony Marra and Lauren Beukes, number one New York Times best-selling author Veronica Roth tells the story of a woman's desperate search for a missing girl after the collapse of the oppressive dystopian regime—and the dark secrets about her family and community she uncovers along the way.

What's right is right.

Sonya Kantor knows this slogan—she lived by it for most of her life. For decades, everyone in the Seattle-Portland megalopolis lived under it, as well as constant surveillance in the form of the Insight, an ocular implant that tracked every word and every action, rewarding or punishing by a rigid moral code set forth by the Delegation.

Then there was a revolution. The Delegation fell. Its most valuable members were locked in the Aperture, a prison on the outskirts of the city. And everyone else, now free from the Insight’s monitoring, went on with their lives.

Sonya, former poster girl for the Delegation, has been imprisoned for 10 years when an old enemy comes to her with a deal: find a missing girl who was stolen from her parents by the old regime, and earn her freedom. The path Sonya takes to find the child will lead her through an unfamiliar, crooked post-Delegation world where she finds herself digging deeper into the past—and her family’s dark secrets—than she ever wanted to.

With razor sharp prose, Poster Girl is a haunting dystopian mystery that explores the expanding role of surveillance on society—an inescapable reality that we welcome all too easily.

If you like books like Brave New World, Fahrenheit 451, and Gattica, this book is for you. Set at some future time of societal breakdown, it presents a dystopian future with people divided into largely two classes. I won't spoil the set up by delving into that more, but I thought the world building was solid, and the character development was good, and the narration was excellent. I enjoyed this one very much.

Dystopian allegory, well done

I wish this story would continue!

The core story is about what could go wrong when wearables turn implantables and what could go even more wrong when the pendulum would swing back from there. But there is so much more: the main character is so relatable and well developed and there is so much brilliant material that could be expanded upon, it’s really hard to stop listening to this story and to the superb narration.

Excellent narration and captivating story about connectedness gone berserk

For the story: I didn’t love it, didn’t hate it. It was a good idea, but I think it was lacking some things. It didn’t make me feel anything. I would have liked to have more information on the Delegation to contextualize people’s hatred of it more; there is obviously the constant surveillance, and some murders, but it didn’t feel like enough. There were several moments that were too convenient, sort of “deus ex machina” type stuff. Even aside from that though, something about the writing was just not quite there for me.
As far as the narrator, I don’t think she was a good choice for this one. She didn’t really “fit the role,” you know? Not edgy enough, I guess.

Just okay

This book is hard to get through and I kept stopping and going to other stuff to listen to and coming back to it only to quit after a bit.
The over use of “she said” “he said” after almost every line of dialogue about drive me crazy, and the narrator made it hard to listen to.

Great story, but the narrator’s lisp was really distracting. Otherwise, I really enjoyed this book

If you're here because you were a fan of Divergent and are looking for something similar with adult characters, you will be disappointed. Nothing about this main character was likable to me. I genuinely didn't care what happened to her or anyone else in this novel, and therefore it was really difficult to feel engrossed in this story. I found myself zoning out constantly and really having to force myself to pay attention. The novel itself read like a slow-paced YA story with the word "f*ck" thrown in every few pages to make it sound more adult. There is very little excitement in this book. The narrator also makes the main character sound like she's still 17, even though she's supposed to be in her late 20s. I got this as a 2-for-1 deal, otherwise it wouldn't have been worth the credit.

unlikable main character

I was expecting a little more drama and action from this one but the story is really good and the unexpected was good as well. Didn’t end how I thought either which I also thought was really good. I highly recommend. Great book!

Not what I was expecting
