Me, the Missing, and the Dead Audiobook (Unabridged)

" But it was called Finding Violet Park when I read it... "

" Really quick but lovely mystery with a boy whose father has been missing for years and a dead woman who is somehow everywhere once he starts searching. The character finds all these hints and clues that add together and finally become this huge mystery. Will it be solved? haha who knows "

" I looked at this book and thought, "this won't be anything special." However I got absorbed as I realized how the main character thinks a lot, like me. Him and I both are pretty logical thinkers..... and I liked the story too. "

" Lucas learns about his missing father by the ashes of an old lady who he comes across at a taxi stand. "

" I quite liked this book actually. I think that Jenny Valentine has done well to get into the mind if 16 year old Lucas. as well as reading a new book I found out what an urn is and this may be useful to me when I am doing some English work. "

" A very interesting story, and even a little inspiring. "

" The ending of this story drove me crazy. "

" This one was a reverse sandwich for me - with the meat at the beginning and end, the low carb bread in the middle. I found it's casual approach to drug use and drinking interesting - and the entire plot strong in it's originality. "

" There's a little bit of suspension of disbelief (LOTS of coincidences)to totally enjoy this book, but enjoy it you should. It reads fast, but unfolds slowly, and has a highly satisfactory ending that shouldn't come as a surprise, but did to me. "

" Read it for English and it wasn't bad, though it can get a little complicated and boring at times, but still it's a good book :) "

" Story about a guy and what he goes through the night that his sister goes missing. No one knows if it's a big prank, or if she got shot, or if she's dead. Pretty interesting but not great. "

" I didn't enjoy this book at all. I had to read this for the monthly book club. I've seen this book on the shelves before and I never wanted to read it. The plot was short and I think it was very boring. The ending was a dud. It was bad. That is all I have to say. "

" I almost didn't finish this one as I thought it was kind of boring. Although, I think the writing was actually pretty good. Had a really good ending, though so my quirky, 'i-have-to-finish-a-book-to-find-out-what-happens' paid off in this case. "

" The title in the UK is "Finding Violet Park": I find it more explicit as it is the story of a search for a person who disappeared. In fact two persons as it is about Violet Park but also the father of the girl who tells the story since he also disappeared... Very nice tale. "

" I really liked this book; especially the way it all came full circle at the end. This book has a slow start to it, but it is worth hanging in. The revelations and discoveries made by the main character make for an interesting surprise ending. "

" Valentine's highly-commended first novel is a surprising joy. An original premise, with all too many coincidences that tie the whole thing together, this would be a contrived mess, were it not for her characters and skilful narrative. "

" Hmmm.... Not the best book. It could be better, but I guess it's ok so far...I haven't finished it. not gripping AT ALL in my opinion. Quite boring at the start. Weird plot. "

" The begining was almost boring enough to make me fall asleep, but the plot got better as it went along.Overall, not a bad book. "

" A quick, compelling read that featured surprising depth and insight in to family relationships and how that affects our identity. "

" Very Similar to 'Broken Soup' though I know this came out first. "

" it was nice but a bit scariey dead, people uuuggh! "

" Fantastic and moving read of a young adult boy growing up without his father. Usually young adult books have predictable endings. This did not. This is a must for any middle school or high school library. "
