Story
Nobel Prize-winning scientist Sarah Collier has taken a step back from work to spend more time with her family. Movie nights with her husband Daniel and their daughter Maddie are a welcome respite from the scrutiny of the world’s press. As much as it hurts, it’s good to be able to see her father more too. He’s suffering from Alzheimer’s and needs special care. Sarah has started to show tell-tale signs of the disease too. She’s been experiencing blackouts and memory loss. It’s early days but she must face the possibility that she won’t be there to see her daughter grow up.

Listened at 1.5 speed

It’s too unlikely a Nobel Prize winner is so clueless and helpless. The narrator reads so slowly I had to listen at 1.5 speed and the pacing still felt slow.

Story
When the rules turn deadly, winning is everything. Only available from Audible, a gripping psychological thriller from the author of Silent Child, Saving April, and The Broken Ones. Perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn, Lisa Jewell and Paula Hawkins. The perfect couple. The perfect marriage. The perfect game. Effie and Ben May have everything. Success. Beauty. Glamour. But beneath the charming smiles and expensive clothes, a twisted game is in progress. A game for which only they know the rules.

Story was interesting

Everything was good.
The only thing was Billie Piper’s reading. It is very breathless and emotive, which makes it difficult to hear in the car or walking or anytime there is background noise. I have to turn the volume way up, then quickly turn it down when it’s Dan’s turn to read.

Story
Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.

Shallow characters and predictable storyline

Disappointingly meh
The characters are predictably one dimensional with nothing to like about them.
waste of my life

Cannot get past Chapter 5 because of the narator
Reviewed: 10-03-2023
Audible books need to be intriguing, interesting, and well read. Unfortunately this mumbly narator sounds like she has not had enough breakfast. It is breathy, fast, lacking in emotions, and generally feels like it's sucking energy from me trying to understand what she is saying. It's so lifeless I feel drained.
