only a part of a book!
I didn't know this was going to be only part of a book when I got it.

Another Glynn James winner
What did you love best about Thrown Away?
Another fantastic dystopian future story by Glynn James. I listened to this on the drive home and felt a wide range of emotions as the story went on.
Who was your favorite character and why?
I couldn't help but feel for Jack throughout the book, more and more until the end.
Did the narration match the pace of the story?
Narration was okay. Better than some, not as good as others
Any additional comments?
I plowed through the Diary of the Displaced series, and am now doing the same with Arisen. Glynn James is the real deal, and this story was yet another pleasure. I look forward to all his writing.

Another winner from Glynn James
Any additional comments?
I received a free copy of this audiobook from the author.
I listened to this and to 'At Last, Goodbye' consecutively, and actually wondered if they could be two sides of the same story. We are in the area Glynn James does so well - a dystopian future where no one really understands how things got the way they have - and as usual he does a very good job of creating an atmosphere of fear and tension while we slowly learn what sort of society we are visiting.
The humanity of the event which haunts the narrator, and the bleak ending, are genuinely affecting. The American performer of the audiobook occasionally mispronounces or wrongly stresses his words, but does an otherwise solid job of putting across the extraordinary pressures on the narrator and his fellow inhabitants.
