Ratings and reviews

rushed, no emotion the reader has a pleasant voice but she seems to rush through the text. there's no pause for dramatic effect and no change in pitch to express thought or emotion.

Voice is horrid. high pitched, the s snags at pitch. Just horrid for this type of story. got thirty seconds in and had to shut it off.

the app that the book is on is unique in the narrators expression towards words I give this book a grade of a four and a half to five it's a good reason especially when you don't have to read it yourself. LOL
