Would you try another book from Sophia Sharp and/or Pamela Lorence?
No. Absolutely not. The author's writing is terrible, and the narrator sounds like she's reading to a bunch of toddlers.
Would you ever listen to anything by Sophia Sharp again?
No.
Would you be willing to try another one of Pamela Lorence’s performances?
Not even if you paid me to. Her weird cadence was a total mismatch for something intended for teens. She sounded like she should be reading preschool books.
What character would you cut from Forsaken?
I was only able to make it to chapter 5, but from what I did hear, none of the characters had ANY redeeming qualities.
Any additional comments?
This is a very sub-standard take on the classic 'damsel in distress.' The heroine was a complete milquetoast. I wouldn't want younger girls or tweens to listen to this because the main character is not someone I'd think anyone would want a young girl to emulate. I wouldn't recommend it for teens because the writing probably would not hold their attention and would, therefore, be a COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY/A CREDIT.
I'm almost always able to at least finish a book and I'm not usually so harsh with my reviews, because almost every book has *some* redeeming quality. But seriously, I am astounded by the BADNESS of this book. There are some YA novels which make great listens for people of all ages. This is not one of them. Please, go read something else.
