- @trishheylady My notes agree with you on that. The biggest problem I had was the narrator sounded much older, changing the story for me. 2 hours ago
- @MitaliandMe I didn't mind the Hunger Games audio, I'm usually not picky about narrators. The Knife of Never Letting Go was an exception. 2 hours ago
- @trishheylady I should probably continue the series in print. 2 hours ago
- @trishheylady I just went and read my Goodreads notes. I had problems with the narrator and didn't like (but appreciated) the violence. 2 hours ago
- @trishheylady Yes, I did! I can't even remember what didn't quite work for me about The Knife of Never Letting Go. 2 hours ago
