A lot to get to nothing.

It seemed like it took forever for the story to actually develop. And when it did develop there wasn't much going with the story. I found Broken Things to be boring.

Meh

Lauren Oliver is one of my favorite authors. However I feel this book fell short of her talent. I think that the story is very disjointed and not because it is told by several different characters and takes place in different timelines (then and now). In fact that is my favorite way of listening to a book (ever since Gone Girl changed the way a lot of books are written now) The story just did not flow and I find none of the characters are very likeable. I will not give up on Ms. Oliver, though I think I might wait to purchase her next book until I read what other reviewers are saying. #Disappointed #noflow #tagsgiving #Sweepstakes

Only ok

I kept hoping for more... and hoping for more... and it never got there. Definite teen fiction. The narration was not good. Some of the characters were so overdone it was painful to listen to. One of those books I finished because I wanted it to prove me wrong. Sadly- no such luck.

Amazing

I loved this book so much. I love when a book has different narrators because it makes it easier to follow. The entire time i listened I kept wanting to know more. It’s a great mystery and the ending surprised me!

Hard to follow

It took a wild to get into, but all in all wasn’t bad. Hard to follow at times with the “then” and “now” back-and-forth, and the reading of the story that was in the book... I wasn’t sure who’s perspective I was listening to. It wasn’t the worst book I’ve ever read/listen to and it was not great either.

Amazing!

i loved it ! it was full of suspense and sad but beautiful. i wasnt expecting the ending and loved how it would go from the past , to the book, and to thr present .

Story didn’t draw me in

It was boring for me. The book finished after I drifted off to sleep, and I didn’t bother going back to finish. One of the characters has an awful British accent.
