Chime Audiobook

" I can't say I really liked it but...was drawn in. Written in the first person Billingsley's prose is almost poetic. A strange dark exploration of the tug of the "old ways" on nature, spirits, love in a time when these ideas were threatened by "progress". "

" Usually not the type of book I like, but Briney is a great, funny spunky character. Just the right mix of mystery, humor and romance. "

" I liked it but wanted less beginning and middle and more end. Read my full review here. "

" This one requires a bit more than the normal fantasy. Beginning with the statement by the narrator-protagonist that she deserves to die, the novel poses several mysteries that unroll slowly and skillfully along with the romance the novel tells; consequently, readers have to exercise patience as they figure out exactly what is going on and who is the real villain. The novel contains some fairly sensual scenes on the level of the first Twilight novel, maybe even a little less explicit. The fantasy world is consistent, the plotting and characterization will draw in the reader for an engaging fantasy read. "

" I thought that this book was okay...like I did enjoy the read, but I don't love it. This novel was somewhat of a slow read...the pace was very consistent, it didn't rush nor did it slow down any time. I did love the characters and the plot was very enjoyable. "

" I could not get into this book and am choosing not to finish it. The style of writing intrigued me and the story line was one I wanted to like. But, there were several things in the beginning chapters that were highly offensive to me and I choose not to continue reading it. Disappointing. "

" Took awhile to get into. I had to give it awhile, but I ended up liking it! "

" ok really, i started...and then i stopped reading because that book was really boring as heck. "

" I wonderful narrative voice. This book real captures the good and bad we allow in our own heads. beautifully written, a little confusing on Myth or real life but enjoyable to the last. "

" damned amazing. so worth the read! worth owning as well. "

" I have no clue what the author was trying to convey with this story. "

" I LOVED this book! It has everything you could want as a reader; suspense, humor, charming characters, magic, etc. FABULOUS! "

" I had a really hard time getting into it. It is not like that pic shows; it is during the hanging of witches time. The way the story starts is confusing, but then about 3/4 through I could not put it down b/c it finally all came together! "

" Amazing.. so beautifully and poetically written. Loved every moment of this book. "

" Sometimes the inner dialogue became a bit much, but overall, left me feeling warm and satisfied as only a good story can. "

" Dark, for sure, but has some really beautiful writing. "

" I wanted to love this. I'm a fan of Billingsley, and the premise is awesome, but every time I tried to read this I fell asleep. Maybe it's the unreliability of Briony's narration? Do I need more straightforward information? Giving up after 75 pages. <br/><br/>Also, I can't stand the cover. "
