Review: The Conspiracy of Us by Maggie Hall

Posted August 5, 2015 by Wendy in Reviews / 2 Comments

Why Did I Read? It sounded really interesting! The synopsis grabbed my attention with the talk of a “dangerous society”. My Thoughts: This is a solid example of how sometimes audiobooks just don’t work well for certain books. There are secret groups, two in particular that oppose each other. The Circle and the… crap I don’t remember the name of the other group but I kept getting the two confused. And that was a problem because I couldn’t keep straight who […]

For my re-read reviews for the Re-read Challenge hosted by Kelly and Hannah, I’ll be adopting Kelly’s reread review format! When I First Read: I remember it vividly. I was in undergrad and I read it on a weekday and stayed up until 3 am finishing it! Since then I have reread it countless times. More than I can count. What I Remember: A sweeping epic romance that also made me sob uncontrollably every single time that I reread. Why I Wanted to Reread: It’s just […]

She gets recruited and meets a cast of other teens who also have abilities such as a natural liar, natural with […]

The Sound: Similar to my thoughts on The Selection audio, I liked the narrator, I thought she suited America well. However, the different voies would blend The Story: Alright. I really enjoyed The Selection. I liked the world, I liked Maxon, I had no problems with America, I was eager for more! But ohhhh the triangle drove me absolutely NUTS in this one. The Selection has now been narrowed to the Elite — six final girls. What’s next?? Well. America literally waffles […]

Audiobook Review: The Selection by Kiera Cass

The Sound: The narrator was pretty good, I had no complaints. Sometimes the different voices blended together a bit but nothing too bad. The Story: You know, this series garners such passionate reactions from both ends of the spectrum! Honestly, the mixed reviews had me so hesitant to pick this up. But Kelly convinced me that it was worth it to check it out! And I’m glad I did! See, I love the Bachelor and the Bachelorette. It’s my guilty […]
