The Compound Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Some truly disturbing content. But although this is a YA novel, I still felt that the author didn't spend enough time developing the main premise: How far would someone go to survive? "

" A good family read and discussion book. Talked about nuclear war, cloning, food sources, heroism, craziness to name a few! "

" battle of the books 2011. this book was really weird! The dad is a complete pycho!!! It did get better at the end when there was more action, but still really weird! "

" I thought this was ok. the ending kind of suprised me but other than that their wasn't a lot of depth too it. all in all i thought it was an ok read. i don't think i would really reccomend it to anybody. "

" Good read and a defnate page turner. I felt pretty bad for the main character because he was stuck in the compound and had made his own compound around him. I dont usually like books with phscos (premonitions) but this was way better. "

" Writing style is good, but story just gets ABSURD. "

" This was awesome, so twisted towards the end!! "

" This book took me a while to get into it. The concept of the book is very interesting, but the story didn't really take off until about a third into it. The ending wasn't bad. Overall though, I liked it. "

" Mysteries along the way. "

" Eli and his family are in a compound.Their father put them in there to keep them safe. Will they get out!!! "

" this was one of the best books i have ever read is there a sequel to it "

" I wasn't sure about the book based on the first 20-40 pages -- main character telling the story seemed over-the-top whiny (which is a pet peeve of mine w/books in general). However, I stuck with it, and it really turned around. Good thriller w/lots of twists and turns. "

" It's an incredible novel, with a huge twist, a must read. "

" First half is great, second half falls apart and isn't believable. Everything falls too neatly together at the end. "

" I felt like this book was really rushed I enjoyed the main character and the story plot but I feel like if the author would have spent a little more time on the specifics that the book would have been a great book. Good idea for a story but not so great of a book. "

" I read this book in two days. I would recommend it if you liked the Hunger Games. It's not violent but it has, I think, some of the same themes. It's sort of a dystopian novel, even though its confined in a small environment. "

" Definitely the best book I have ever read its story was amzing! The plot made more sense than any other book I have ever read. "

" I haven't read a book like this one. While it is obviously written for a YA audience, I really enjoyed the story. (For what it's worth, Jones liked it too!) It's a very quick read, but good the whole way through. Highly recommended. "

" Wow what a great book! Written for teens but totally had this adult HOOKED! Highly recommend! "

" it was awliawliawesome "

" A bit on the creepy side for me. "

" Great author! Middle school and up. Twists somewhat predictable, but interesting read for teens. "

" good, dark thriller.....is his dad crazy or not? Did the world end? dun dun dunnnnnnn! "

" I give it 2 and a half stars. It was disturbing. "

" Eli's father is a billionaire and built a bomb shelter - a compound for his family. The book reminded of "The Road." "

" by far the best book i've read since the hunger games. it is filled with so much action, i couldnt put it down. image it as a movie... "

" what a horrible life! i have a twin and to lose her would be like losing the world. wow i can't even think about it! "

" I loved it, despite the flaws I found when I looked back. But while I read it, I couldn't put it down! "

" I couldn't put this book down. It was seriously good. "

" Enjoyed this book for the inventiveness of the kids in an unbelievable situation. "
