The Fall: A Novel Audiobook

" Insightful handling of college aged angst and the social pressures imposed by our peers and our families. I couldn't stop reading until I was finished in the wee hours! "

" I enjoyed this book. In the Fall, You will read about 3 characters that go to Florence University and find themselves. While at college (and like most college students) these 3 individuals learn things about themselves that will change their existance and force them to become who they really are. "

" I found the Fall to be hard to care about at times. Right off the bat, the style was a bit hard to get into, how it didn't always clearly identify who was speaking, but I caught on. It was an interesting idea to try but I feel it failed. The plots, I guess, were of college kids leading interlaced lives, making friends, coming out, finding yourself against your parents' ideals...and those sort of worked. The story of the college professor and his secret lover was interesting until it was made not to be. The situations were a tad implausible for me. All that being said, I did enjoy portions of it, and the characters were interesting, although so much had been left out of them to make me wonder for more, it was odd that the author then sort of tacked on wrapping their suggested futures all up in a bow. Casey's last minute switch? unnecessary and too sudden. Ian's doing what? Where now? Halie's mom said what? Something about this didn't ring true. "

" I suppose I would described this book as nice. Nice story, nice characters and nicely written. "

" I enjoyed the story. I like reading about college times but it wasn't a page turner. "

" This was an excellent story with great character development. It really drew on the life-altering experience that college can be for some individuals. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and didn't want to put it down until the end. "

" Interesting. Not a page-turner. A little predicable. The 'big reveals' of the book were not that surprising. I enjoyed it because it was about New England college students' experiences in the autumn. "

" The Fall reminded me of The Rules of Attraction, but it takes itself much more seriously. The characters are realistic, the journey believable, and the message clear. Quinn writes with a creative and unique style which leaves me excited for his next novel! "

" Excellent book. Very engaging and easy to follow. Reminded me a lot of my college experience. Would definitely recommend to freinds as a must read! "

" For a first novel, it was a good try, but he attempted entirely too much, and ended with some loose ends. "

" I could not finish this book. "

" An OK "fluff" piece. The situations are good and bring back similar memories, but the story gets cliched, and the dialogue can be stilted. When you don't want to think too much, it's a nice story. "

" I thought this was good. Maybe not as good as it could have been, as the characters were not really believable and not very sympathetic. But overall it was a solid read. "

" It's not a bad story, can't say the author did a poor job in writing, it just didn't do much for me. "
