Fall Audiobook

" Like the characters in this fine novel, I also attended a boarding school in the period McAdam writes about. Although the multiple voices were sometimes hard to keep track of, the novel is a fine psychological study of late teenagehood masculinity. I enjoyed Julian's voice especially and its profane majesty. Excellent novel. Highly recommended. "

" creepy and sad "

" A riveting read so far, with two distinctive first-person protagonists. The chapters about Julius unfold in a sort of stream-of-conscious style that is intriguing. This book reminds me of a cross between A Separate Peace and Looking For Alaska. :) "

" Disliked this book so much that I did not finish it.The two boys voices were very different causing a lack of flow.Just when i was getting into the rythmn of one narrator i would be interrupted by something totally different.And when one character spends a lot of time thinking about masturbation his story should not be stream of consciousness. "

" An interesting take on familiar territory - boys' prep school, though this time in Canada. Had a little trouble with the end of it, though. Am not sure I understood how the central mystery unfolded. "

" Really well written with each chapter told from a character's perspective with his own voice. Just too depressing for me-could be a timing issue. "

" I wanted to like this book but the writing style wore on me after a bit...bizarre book but kept me going to the end. "

" I found this book so hard to follow. I really wanted to like this book but after 100 pages I gave it up. I never stop reading a book no matter how much I may dislike it... this one, I couldnt finish. It was too much work to re-read paragraphs to try and grasp what was said. "

" Very deep character development, but not much actual story. "

" The Fall of the title is Fallon, a girl around whom two boys at an exclusive boarding school revolve. Told in alternating POVs of the two young men, in extremely differing styles. One is her boyfriend, the other her boyfriend's roommate. "

" Very creepy - an accurate description of boarding school and an accurate portrayal of a sociopath. "

" Fabulous. Apparently I'm all about reading books with "fall" in the title. I couldn't put this one down. The psychology is just so perfect (and creepy), and the language and writing carries it all along like a boat on a fast moving river. "

" I wanted to like this book - but about half-way through, I lost interest and ended up skimming the rest of it. I was very disappointed. "

" this book like the rest im reading, confuse me a tad bit at the beginning. but its packed with twists i never seen coming! the book is kinda graphic, so its not for the real immature. but i enjoyed it a lot! "

" I didn't care for this book; not the kind of writing style I enjoy. The story was OK, but I really wasn't impressed. It was an effort to finish reading it. "

" I quite enjoyed the book, although i felt like a few parts were unnecessary and other parts i wish were included. I would recommend it, but not as a first choice. Great plot yet weirdly written. "

" I wanted to like this book - but about half-way through, I lost interest and ended up skimming the rest of it. I was very disappointed. "

" Tried to read this, got a quarter to a third of the way and just couldn't get into it. I've never been a big fan of stylized writing in a lot of cases, but even beyond that it just didn't grab me. "
