Freakling Audiobook

" The reader is immediately drawn into a culture unlike that of our own where psi power is the means for doing anything at all. We are introduced to a young protagonist with an appealing personality who suddenly finds himself thrust into the middle of complex and vicious power struggles in his society who must make crucial decisions for the direction the society will take. The story covers a lot of ground in just 300 pages without seeming rushed or skimpy. That is, the people and places are well-drawn. "

" I really liked this. It really was an interesting topic, but I can't see them making another one. "

" This book was oddly compelling and captivating. Taemon, Moke, and Amma were endearing characters that you truly wanted to succeed. You can tell that a lot of thought went into both the storyline and the character development. Great read! "

" The second part of the book was rushed, but I loved the story. "

" A speedy novel that one could open and close with little effort. It is fun. Enchanting. And great. It is, however. Forgettable. "

" This was a quick read for middle school students with interesting premises. The loss of magical power rather than the discovery of hidden powers makes a refreshing change. Concepts of the misuse of power, greed and egotism would make this an interesting classroom read. "

" A neat mix of supernatural and dystopian here. I hope there's a sequel. "

" Pretty good, I enjoyed it a lot! "

" Pretty good. I've read better though "

" Good fast moving will read #2 when it is released. Good book club book "

" Very well done. What I liked best is that I couldn't put my finger on it genre-wise. It is a sci-fi dystopia but also had elements of the fantastical and some steampunky things going on. Great characterization and world-building. Loved it. "

" Interesting idea, but odd delivery. "

" Good intro sci-fi dystopia book. Loved the fact that it wrapped up nicely without a cliffhanger, but a second book could be just as interesting in a completely different way. "

" A nice dystopian for younger readers, the plot was compelling enough for a ten or eleven-year-old, and the world one young readers will enjoy thinking about when the story is over. Although it was at times predictable and the characters a little flat, it was an enjoyable read overall. "

" Was a great book until the last 5 pages. "

" Pure genius! The author came up with a great plot, and a great presentation. "

" Rating your own book is like voting for yourself. You feel silly if you do it, but stupid if you don't. "

" 3 1/2 stars. While not a terribly original plot line, it is well done. Likable characters, if sometimes frustrating, and some nice twists and turns...and some predictable ones. I guess I would hand someone The Giver before this book--similar idea but better done. "
