Going through this I started to remember that there were writing flaws in the other books that I had forgotten about since I read the last book two years ago.Most of it is written in the first person present which impossibly annoying because who wants to read "we are going there, we are so close. yes, we are there." Really? Just really, stream of conscience can go too far. That and Umms in italics when she kisses someone...gross.And just as far as her as a character she has become reallykindle/audioOkay, if 2 stars is 'it was ok' and 3 stars is 'I liked it' then I have to fall somewhere in the middle of that.**SPOILER ALERT** While I don't discuss specific plot points or give away the ending, I do mention things that happen in the book. Read on knowing you have been warned.I have been a fan of this series up until now, giving books 5 star reviews that really don't deserve them on their literary merit, but because they are entertaining, hysterical quick reads that are good
I am continuing to listen to the exploits of Jacky Faber with my group; one person nearing the last book, one lucky friend in the midst of "rapture" and one gal just ahead on book 8. At the end of "rapture" (HA), there was an interview with the author and the voice artist. It was really enjoyable! These people are so smart and talented, no wonder we are very entertained. It isn't realistic or high brow reading but it is based on historical facts so I actually do learn a little something, which
i read about half way into this book and then skipped to the end. you really don't miss much in between. same formula as the other books and jacky and jamie are still not together. can barely type through the frustration....
Audiobook version. I enjoyed this book as much as the previous ones in the series. It still has grownup subjects which means I wouldnt probably allow young children to read it, but it is a fun book to relax with. The narrator is EXCELLENT! She has different voices, different accents, she sings the songs, she brings the story to life!I usually turn off the audiobook at the end of the story, but this time I was busy, so I just let it play and discovered there is an interview between the narrator
Okay, so where do I start? Basically with, I hope this book isn't an indication of the series going WAY. DOWN. HILL.Rapture began with a good premise and had me expecting another rollicking adventure. But after the first 105 pages (or, parts I and II) it didn't live up to it. Yes, Jacky and Jaimy were together, but all they did was try--and fail--again and again to have "quiet moments," and Jacky told Jaimy what to do ALL THE TIME. I didn't even really like Jaimy for most of this book; the only
