This was so bad. I had to skip parts because it was too over the top. If it had been about high school students I think I could have dealt with it better. So many ridiculous things about this. Dont bother with this it will only make you roll your eyes.
I really wanted to like this book. It had an interesting premise and reminded me of other books I have read recently that I enjoyed. Unfortunately, it fell very flat and had a completely unrealistic ending. I listened to the audiobook and the narrator was fantastic. Having a few snippets every once in a while from the other characters helped to nail down the feel that the author was going for with a 'teenage personal vlog'. I wasn't a huge fan of the vlog format at first, but it started to grow
This was an okay mystery. These are supposed to be middle school kids.... 😬 ummmm..... they should have made this high school or college level. The way they speak and behave is not believable of that age group. 🤔 That aside, I didn’t guess the ending. So, that should count for something.
I really enjoyed this audiobook, the narrators did a great job.
The story line was ridiculous.. a group of 13 yr old millionaires secretly offer scholarships to 2 other 13 yr olds just to get them into their private school in order to kill them to satisfy some adrenaline rush addiction. RIDICULOUS. It would be more believable if it was high schoolers not ignorant 13yr olds. I was also getting very annoyed at Emily's narrations. 13 yr olds don't talk the why she does. They also don't go over board with insignificant details. It was all just too ridiculous. I'...
While I completed it, this one started much stronger than it finished. I can't say it held me in rapt attention. The narrator felt melodramatic, the character choices juvenile (which is unfair since this was geared towards middle schoolers), and a lot of telling rather than showing. While I was sooort of interested enough to finish, I was pretty sure I had it figured out fairly quickly. And was mostly right when all was said and done. I'd rate this a PG for some scary scenes and perilous situati...
This book was interesting enough to really keep my interest. Really the only problem I had with it is all of the characters seemed as though they were juniors/seniors in high school versus the seventh graders they were in the story.
I haven’t finished the book yet. I’m not sure if I will. There is one major flaw in the form of the book and it’s bothering me.This girl is making a video diary of her life. But on what? On her phone? But it says at one point that it will only take short videos. It can’t be on her laptop because she often shows what is on the screen to her “unintended” audience. I suppose it’s possible that she could switch between a webcam and a cam that shows her screen and she toggles between them. But, does
The story would have better fit if it had been set in a private high school rather than a middle school. At least then it’d be much more believable.The mid part of the story was hard to get through and was focused too much on teenage drama. I almost stopped listening entirely. The ending was good overall though the climax was disappointing. The story ended tying up most loose ends though no final conclusion to what happened to the antagonist(s), just a statement that sounds more like speculation...
The Mystery of Alice is a fun YA mystery from Audible (free for the month of June 2019 for Audible members) told through the video diary of Emily Poe. Emily and her new friend Alice find themselves amid the "Nobility" of Auden, a private school in NYC, where they have both received scholarships. The mysteriousness starts with the "test" Emily takes to even receive the scholarship and continues to her friend Alice and the other students at Auden. While it's not quite the college admissions scanda...
❐ Overall Rating 3 | Narration 5❐ Free Audible Original❐ These are Middle School age kids???❐ Mystery❐ Video DiaryI suppose the story was interesting...but can I see this all being played out by middle-school-aged children...no, not at all. No matter how rich they are. If they had been high schoolers...maybe I could have bought it. I'm fairly certain that Emily Bauer is the main narrator in this and lots of other listeners have said that she was too immature sounding...but I thought she was perf...
