Fourteen-year-old Vega Jane lives in the village of Wormwood, where life is nasty, brutish, and short. Villagers have been told that there is nothing outside of Wormwood except for the Quag, a foul forest filled with terrifying beasts. No one comes, no one goes, and Wormwood has stayed this way for generations. Until Vega's friend Quentin Herms disappears.
Quentin leaves Vega a secret message hinting that there's a way out of Wormwood and something extraordandinary on the other side. As Vega begins to investigate, she realizes that Wormwood is a village built on dangerous lies. And that powerful people are willing to kill in order to keep it that way. Soon Vega is careening down a path that will either lead straight to the truth...or straight into an early grave.

Would you listen to The Finisher again? Why?
the only reason I would listen to it again is to refresh my mind if I decide to read the second book of the series when it comes outWhat was one of the most memorable moments of The Finisher?
the endingAny additional comments?

Any additional comments?
For me personally, this is more a 3.5 star book simply because I like deeper characters, conversation, and meaning in 4-5 star books. That being said, the fantasy is enjoyable and the mystery intriguing.The story presents a very different world with imaginative creatures and customs of its own seeped in mystery. Entwined are current familiar figures of speech with occasionally inserted less used vocabulary words attributed to the main character of very simplistic thinking. I like the words. They just seem out of place. I only smile at such anomalies in a story and don't let it ruin the enjoyment. And it is an enjoyable story that exercises the imagination. Some of the "fight or flight" encounters went on a bit long for me and listening at 1.25 to 1.5 speed did wonders. I liked it better than just O.K. but not quite to the 4 star range.. Ah for those partial stars. I wasn't thinking of going to the next episode…..until the end..and now I just may want to know what happened next. There is an ongoing mystery here.
Surely wish we could give partial star ratings

Where does The Finisher rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Would rank this book near the middle of all the audio books I've listened to - mainly because it was not a typical Baldaci book.What does Nicola Barber bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Interest! Niccola Barber did a fantastic job of getting the dialect and emotions across to the reader. His narration alone is worth the listening time!Any additional comments?
Very out of the norm for Baldacci, but took a chance on it. It's not the typical sort of book I would choose to listen to or read, but it was definitely worth the time. The narrator was absolutely superb!David Baldacci - Really?
