Brianna Nicole Thomas Henry

it was a really good book it made me want to read more of these books i bet you would really like this book so i would suggest reading this book if you like hypnotism.

Molly Moon is amazing

Molly Moon still holds up! One of the best books I read as a 10 year old (and I read a LOT), coming back to it 18 years later is such a nice trip. Performance is great, obviously production quality is as it was 20 years ago, no serious problems though. The pacing and story is just amazing, Georgia I wish more people could write like you. Thank you for giving us Molly Moon<3

Great story

The story was great and the reader excellent. There were times of dead air up to 20 seconds or more between chapters.

just as good as i remembered

I read this book as a kid and remembered it fondly, along with its next two installments. I'm pleased to say, as a 24 year old with high standards, it still holds up for what it is.

Some complaints about production quality: there is at least 30 seconds silence between chapters sometimes. I'm not impatient, but that's quite a long time for a listening child.

Good for young readers (<10)

Reader has a very "british" accent which generally works well for this book and, despite some revolting descriptions (which the kids found funny), its a fun story

A Must Read for the Times

I loved the plot and how it integrated the hypnosis power into the plot and characters.

What a good book!

This is a very good book. Georgia Byng has outdone herself-big time- with a book that focuses on the power of hypnotism, and the even greater power of friendship.
The only bad thing about this Audiobook is that the format has wide gaps between some chapters.

molly moons incredible book of hypnotism

reading this book was good but i loved listening to the narroator read it aloud to me with enthusiasm.

Life Changing Mystery Adventure

This is about a girl with magical powers who goes on an adventure after living in a terrible orphanage all of her ife, so the main character Molly is very likable. There's also a despicable bad guy, so that makes it even more fun.

Blast From the Past

listening to it again almost 15 years later and it actually held up to what I remember when I was a kid. it's definitely a children's book but the writing storytelling and narration is wonderful
