Saving Max Audiobook (Unabridged)

" The very last little tid-bit of this book pushed it from two to two and and a half stars. Everything was wrapping up nicely, then the author throws in one last little jab that made it so much better! It would have been just kind of cheesy otherwise. It was like an episode of Law & Order in book form. Great way to end a suspense type story. I enjoyed the book for the most part. I did not like the character Danielle. I get that she was doing everything she could for her kid, and in the end, it of course paid off, but she was so annoying! I wanted to slap her for being so stupid and careless. Her character was totally unbelievable. The other small thing that bothered me was the "romance." *eye roll* They hook-up one time and are now soul-mates? Dumb. I understand that it was just a way to make the situation even more complicated, but it seemed unnecessary most of the time. I also thought that it was weird how they kept referring to "using the computer" like it's some sort of foreign object they were all unfamiliar with. Maybe if the book had been written 15 years earlier...that part seemed very unbelievable to me as well. "She was good with computers?" oohh....how vary rare...or not at all. "

" This book was fantastic. Page turner not at all as you expect. "

" Ridiculous. And holy inconsistent verb tenses. Who edited this thing? There's a misplaced modifier within the first few pages. Obviously these are the things I focus on, but come on. "

" I heart-wrenching book, and the mother's determination to do whatever is necessary to save her son. "

" While not entirely plausible, I enjoyed this book as the plot kept thickening and I needed to find out what would happen. "

" Thought I knew where this book was going until it took a complete 180! Thank you Stephanie!! "

" This book was a very good suspense thriller I'm so glad I read! I was honestly shocked by the whodunit and that's rare for me. "

" This book kept me going- it was gripping. I did find it disturbing towards the end though - didn't leave me with a good feeling. "

" Another book that did not go where I thought it would - that's all I am saying "

" Disturbing! I will be questioning possible child abuse in my head for a long time! "

" What a great book, brought it into work so others could read it! "

" Wow. As a mom, this book rattled me. Made me think of all the vulnerabilities of our children. Great read. Highly recommended. "

" Wow! Totally not what I was expecting. Lots of twists and heart wrenching turns. "

" Simply walking through Target and this jumped out at me. So glad I bought it! A page turner for sure!!! "

" While the book was engaging, there were certain things in it that were just too far fetched and disturbing. There were certain plot lines that didn't seem to be addressed at the end. I would recommend Defending Jacob rather than this. Similar story but much better novel. "

" This was a good quick read. It was somewhat unrealistic but still held my attention until the very end. "

" This book was just ok. It seemed kind of far fetched to me. "

" This is not my kind of genre. As a mother, I just can't imagine. "

" I would have given this four stars, but I thought it was unessasarily gruesome and it was a little hard to stomach the child cruelty the author goes into vivid detail about. Otherwise, it was a well written and interesting book. "

" i could definatley realte to this book. it was about teenage pregnancy and i am a preganent teen. i got ideas and tips of what to and what not to do from this book. "

" I didn't love her writing style, but the story was good, especially the last 100 pages. I do have to say though that I didn't like the lead character very much, and would have liked to have gotten to know Max better. "

" This book was interesting as readed on the back of it, at times the story becomes to fantastic. Good for a light read or for fanatics of police/law or investigation books. Somehow you'll keep reading as they are chapters that leave you waiting for the next part. "

" I loved this bok. Truly shows what a mother will do to protect her child.I read this book in 3 sittings. I could not put it down. "

" This was a really good book that had me sucked in from the start. However, many of Danielle's actions left me SO angry. She broke the law so many times and it didn't bother her at all. I just wanted to slap her and I often found myself so mad I wasn't enjoying the book!! "

" Very thrilling, intense, and emotional story. Will make you run and hug your kids. "

" Excellent! If you love an exciting, quick read, this book is for you. "

" This book hooked me and I had to finish to find out what happened. But overall pretty violent and horrible language. Not an uplifting read by any means. "

" The storyline was great, but imo the author is quite wordy and overly descriptive in many parts. "

" I loved it but I wouldn't recommend it for the faint at heart. "

" I actually give it a 4 1/2, but that's just me. I finished this book in a few hours, and I loved it. And also was appalled. But I loved it nonetheless. :) "

" Seriously disturbing. Hard to finish. Wish I hadn't read it. "

" Absolutely riveting! I could not put it down!!!! "

" Slow start, but ended up being a good thriller! "

" I started it thinking it may be a good read. Very hard plot to follow and not interesting. I gave up after 6 chapters "

" Very disturbing, but I couldn't put it down. "

" So, the mystery was good, but the mother was extremely irrational, overly-emotional and not a sympathetic character at all. The author tried to make the reader feel the frustration a mother of an autistic son may feel, however I ended up just feeling annoyed with the mom. Ugh! "

" PAGE TURNER--- read in 2 days at beach- my friends were giving me a hard time, because the book was with me the whole trip-- I didn't put it down. Not the best writing, but still interesting story. "

" This book was very good. I liked it a lot, was a good read. "

" A mix of a muder mystery and a reflection of one woman's struggle with her son's various pysch disorders, this novel is fast paced and a good beach read. "

" Really good book! Disturbing but good, unexpected ending. "
