Unabridged Audiobook
Our country is headed in the same direction.
This book was so entertaining! I got it as a free credit, but after about half an hour, I was really into the story. I could imagine myself as a high school guy in a small town because that was me 12 years ago. I also really liked the premise of the book and how the book played audio clips from the radio, news, and had many different voices throughout! I never read fiction, so this was a great way to get back into it. If I get another free credit, I will use it to get the 2nd book in this series! Give it a listen!
Really not my type of book, but since it was free I listened to it. About the only thing I liked about it was the narration. Using different people for different individual characters was very appealing. Other than that I found it too fast paced and geared toward younger readers.
Downloaded the book as part of a free promotion a few weeks ago. Very low expectations and reviews were "so-so". I was pleasantly surprised. I would agree with other reviewers that this is written for the "young adult" reader, however I found the narration very unique and enjoyable. Looking forward to books 2 and 3 in the series.
Not a great story. It was fast paced with lots of excitement. Also had lots of teenage drinking, some rash decision making. The narration was good, but I didn't care for the embellished background sounds . I'm not sure what age group it was specifically written for, but I think it is not appropriate for middle schoolers and don't know any high schoolers who would like it.
Top notch narration. So-so story. Just the same I did enjoy it especially the fast pace of the plot line.
This book was full of excitement and I'm looking forward to starting the sequel!
Very interesting story and well read. I enjoyed it!
I enjoyed this thrilling and exciting book with my family!
I really enjoyed this book will downloading book 2
Outstanding story with the added features of multiple person voicing makes this very entertaining
Story of a modern day Civil War in USA. Best narration I've ever heard! Tons of different voices
I really enjoyed this book. I don't usually enjoy YA fiction but this was on promotion so I thought I'd get it for my son. I decided to listen first, just to make sure it's age appropriate, and was surprised by how much I liked it. The story is well written, characters are developed and interesting. I also liked the "real life" interuptions. That was something new in an audio book and it worked well. The narration is also perfect. I would recommend this book for anyone, not just young adults.
Got to download this book for free and thought it would be corny since it's a YA series. However I was pleasantly surprised by the storyline. In a way it reminded me of the movie Red Dawn (the original), except that the enemies were within the States and vs. Idaho. I remember a few years ago after Obama won for the second time, many states threatened to separate from the Union so this story seemed like a portrayal of what could happen if states tried to stand up. I am also a fan of having some romance in storylines, so I couldn't help but root for Danny to fall for his bff Becka, cause his girlfriend Jobell kind of got on my nerves. I found myself silently yelling to myself over a lot of the decisions Danny made. He was very reactive instead of thinking things through. Sometimes it worked, other times it made matters worse. Why is everyone listening to a 17 year old kid and following his lead??? Drove me nuts at times. I thoroughly enjoyed the music, sound effects and news blips that were added. It made the story come to life so much more. I think it could make a cool movie and I'd be willing to pay 10 bucks for the ticket. Overall it was enjoyable.
I found this to be a fascinating book. I like the way the author expressed multiple viewpoints without taking a clear side. I highly recommend this book. I also enjoyed the narration having background sound and multiple voices made it very enjoyable.
Really fun and easy read. Fast moving story line. The narration was good, made it feel like the main character was reading it. I'm very excited to read book two in the series
for me started a little slow but turned good the readers did a good job
This book was predicable in many areas. Did not love it, but finished it.
very interesting will having to get next book Would hope that something like this could not happen but
I downloaded this for free. I almost didn't because it is marked as a book for young adults, of which I am not, but so glad that I did. The book and narrator were incredible. The story line and plot kept me on the edge of my seat. I didn't want to stop reading.! I now need to down load the second book immediately. I recommend this book to every age/ reader. You will not be disappointed!
Interesting story. Two head strong politicians wroth a teenager caught in the middle. I will listen to the next book.
