It begins as a statistical oddity: a spike in children born with acute speech delays. Physically normal in every way, these children never speak and do not respond to speech; they don't learn to read, don't learn to write. As the number of cases grows to an epidemic level, theories spread. Maybe it's related to a popular antidepressant; maybe it's environmental. Or maybe these children have special skills all their own.

Story
Josie Banks is a girl without a past. After being found unconscious with no memory, she was shuffled in and out of foster homes where she suffered years of abuse - an experience that left her broken, damaged, and clinging to drugs and meaningless hook-ups to numb her pain. When Josie disappeared years ago, she took a piece of Tristan with her. She’s the girl he thought he lost forever - the one he’s never been able to forget. Now a twist of fate has brought them back together, and he never wants to let her out of his inked arms again.

Can't wait!
Starburst was an intriguing story about seemingly random strangers who are brought together by Lisa for her mission to be advanced in the group of aliens who gave her the instructions. Well written and wonderful characters. I can't wait for the next book!

Great story and narrator, crappy production
The story was intriguing and kept me listening. Molly king was able to create distinctions between the characters, but production sucked. One could constantly hear paper rustling which was distracting. At times it appeared that editing screwed up because a mistake might be made, it was noticed, and instead of editing it out, they had clips of it in. There was a moment I thought there was something wrong with the audio file because it repeated the same sentence several times... and it did not appear to be part of the writing technique. Those flaws made it distracting, and it was disappointing because it seems like a mature mistakes.

Brilliant!
Where does Starburst rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
It is in the top tier of books. The genre and delivery are all in a stand alone category. Such a clever idea and the deep thought that has gone into each individual character really pays off. The listener gets such an insight into their minds and thought processes. How their experiences have shaped them. It blew my mind!
What was one of the most memorable moments of Starburst?
No one moment stands out. The whole book is totally absorbing
Which scene was your favorite?
Impossible to pick,every scene is so cleverly drawn with such intricate detail that I can't possibly say which was my favourite
Any additional comments?
This is not my usual genre, I like blood and guts and gore. I was very surprised to find how much I loved this. I don't ever go for books where there is a great deal of analysis, but this was so different. I thought having different narrators would be confusing but it was brilliant. Each character was drawn so exquisitely, they were so shaped by their lives and they all evoked a strong emotional reaction. I wanted to bundle them up and take them home to love and nurture. The whole book is unusual in that I can't think which genre it belongs to. It seems to straddle so many. It's a remarkable piece of work and I can't wait to listen to the next in the series. A thoroughly deserved 5 stars from me.

Good Story Uneven Narration
This audiobook has a little bit of everything, part horror and science fiction, with a dab of mystery added in. I liked the premise of the story more than the actual follow through and I’m not sure why. Trying to put my finger on the problem has been difficult. I found the story engaging at times and then it seemed to drift. I think it has more to do with the narrator than the writing.
Molly King narrates this fully voiced production. I found some of her character voices jarring and an uncomfortable listen. Other characters were voiced quite well and there’s no doubt Molly has talent. Perhaps it’s a case of trying too hard to differentiate the characters, I just prefer a more subtle distinction.
I am curious to see where this story goes, but I think I’ll read the book next go round.
This audiobook was gifted to me in exchange for an unbiased review!
