Meh. A decent read for when you don't want to pay a lot of attention. I am not a fan of Ms. Plum's... she just seems so stupid most of the time. The reader of this audio book was not that great either, sounded like she was speed reading in an odd accent.

A great continuation of the story I first read about in Escape.

Great book on Intuitive Eating. Loved the personal stories from the author. Also got response from the author on Twitter when tweeting about the book and my IE experience. Wow!

I wasn't sure about this book at first. It was very ABC Family, and not in the good way. But the second half of the book really got to the heart of the plot and made me care about the characters, which helped me see past the language. Much better than I expected at the start of the book and I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

Interesting concept and story, but I was not a fan of the style of writing. Be careful not to read the essay in the front of the book or you will ruin the ending before you start.

I knew next to nothing about Rob Lowe, other than he was an actor and had a scandalous history. I downloaded this audiobook b/c it was free and I usually love autobiographies. This book was a good listen and I learned a lot about his life by listening. He seems like a decent guy who has learned a lot.

Not sure what I think of this book. It was a good story and the fact that it was told through a child's narrative let you see some things I think you wouldn't have seen from an adult's point of view. However, the child's narrative gets a bit old, fast, even when listening. I imagine it would be that much more tiring to read. A creatively told story, but not a fav of mine.

This was a fun book to listen to with a lot of likable characters. Would like to read the others in this series.

Horrifying story. A captivating listen.

Intriguing, quick listen. The narrator was awful, but the story was good.

This book started out slow. I think I felt that way because I don't understand why the factions really formed. How that would seem beneficial to a society. And I thought Tris's choice to join Dauntless seemed rash and didn't make sense to me either. But the rest of the book was good and the ending was great. Loved the romance in the book. It felt real, so much more than any other teen book I've read lately, and for once there was no love triangle! I am a big fan of that. I liked Tris too. She was stupid at times but overall a good heroine.

An odd little story. The only thing I liked much was the story of how it came to be.

This was a really good and fast read. The story was well written and kept a great pace. Would love to know what the “rest of the story” is!

And...I did totally see the similarities between Matched and The Giver in the beginning, but as the story began to take shape it fell away for me. Both were great reads.

Was a great book to listen to in the car. A good continuation of the Matched story. I enjoyed hearing Ky's side of the story as well and enjoyed the new characters introduced. Still not a big fan of all the teenage love triangle (square?) stuff but it is better than some books I've read (Twilight anyone?).

I'm a sucker for Dystopian literature, apparently. This was a good story and I looked forward to listening to more of the story each time I got in the car, even if there was a little too much relationship stuff in it for me. I don't understand why so many of these stories feel the need to have a “love” triangle. Just doesn't seem necessary. But overall a good story!

Listened to this book while working on a craft project. A delightful listen, like Betty is sitting down and telling you about her life. Her stories are charming and made me smile. I plan to listen and/or read some of her earlier books.

Entertaining tale with many twists and turns. An enjoyable read.

Well written, enjoyable story.

Very interesting to hear her side of the story. An intense read that effected me more than I expected.

Hubby and I listened to this book on the way to and from vacation. It was a good car listen, although it made my hubby laugh so hard that was worried about his driving abilities being compromised. hubby loved the book and while I enjoyed it a lot some of the stories he told were a little offputting to me. Still I love biographical books because they give me an insight into the celebrities' lives and usually end up with me liking the celebrity much more than before. This book didn't disappoint in that aspect.

A good story. Really makes you feel like you are the heat of the race relations during that time period. Looking forward to seeing it translated into the movie.

I'm one of the few who hadn't read a Harry Potter book or seen a movie. I wish I would've started the series 10 years ago. Cute, charming, likeable characters, great plot. I loved it.

Cute, light book. Clever plot. However I did not like the main character at all. Not sure how many times you can catch a guy and not take him in. If she was someone I was around in real life I'd want to shake her til she came to her senses.

Great book, captivating read!

Great story! I loved the relationship between Eshe and Armand as well as finding out what happened to all the women in Armand's life. Another great addition to the Argeneau story!
