The Girl with All the Gifts: Booktrack Edition adds an immersive musical soundtrack to your audiobook listening experience!*

Booktrack editions are essentially a new genre of digital storytelling entertainment. Music and ambient audio are added to complement and enhance the audiobook experience. It is a synchronized movie-style soundtrack that complements the narration of existing audiobooks; the tempo and rhythm of the score harmonize with action, dialogue and the characters' emotional arcs.

The USA Today best seller

Melanie is a very special girl. Dr. Caldwell calls her "our little genius".

Every morning, Melanie waits in her cell to be collected for class. When they come for her, Sergeant keeps his gun pointing at her while two of his people strap her into the wheelchair. She thinks they don't like her. She jokes that she won't bite, but they don't laugh.

The Girl with All the Gifts is a groundbreaking thriller, emotionally charged and gripping from beginning to end.

*Booktrack is an immersive format that pairs traditional audiobook narration to complementary music. The tempo and rhythm of the score are in perfect harmony with the action and characters throughout the audiobook. Gently playing in the background, the music never overpowers or distracts from the narration, so listeners can enjoy every minute. When you purchase this Booktrack edition, you receive the exact narration as the traditional audiobook available, with the addition of music throughout.

Amazing !!

Great book, enjoyed it so much, and the music??? I can’t imagine myself listening to audio books without music, this is the future of audio books.

Highly recommend book.. Loved it

A great suggestion for the scientist in your life

This is a pretty simple read for the most part and the story line is always moving forward or reflecting deeply on what just happened. I love the background music and the reader in this audio version.

music gives away the storu

please don't tell me what I should feel with music! I listen to audiobooks so I can fit reading into my hectic days. I find the music gives away actions like in a TV show. please don't telegraph or add sound effects.

The soundtrack made me feel the book more.

I like the fact that the soundtrack made me feel the book more than just listening to the narrator. I think the ambient music really goes well with this book as well. Of course, first and foremost, the narration was already excellent in the first place. And together with the soundtrack, this book was a perfect listen.

A fantastic story

Through the twists and turns and all the way to the book's natural ending, I was held in, eager for my next fix. It's a story of people who have adapted to a world they cannot connect to its past. It's a story of humanity at its worst and best. Fascinating read. Highly recommend.

Too much background noise

I prefer audiobooks where the words speak for themselves. The background noise was distracting to the story and I believe I would have enjoyed it much more without it

Great narrator

Interesting story and written well. Good story and keep me coming back for more. A great listen.

Entertaining take on the zombie theme

Interesting and entertaining read! A new take on a somewhat worn out topic. Only complaint is that several of the characters seemed to toggle between being incredibly astute, intelligent, and logical, to being irrational, illogical, and driven by emotional whims. I often felt frustrated by suddenly uncharacteristic mood swings among some of the main characters that seemed unrealistic and made it hard for me to sympathize with their choices. Would have preferred a more consistent and gradual character development as opposed to characters that seemed to swing like a pendulum. But still a fun read - great for a beach week! (Side note : I also really found the theatrical sound affects and music a bit cheesy and contrived, if that is distracting to you don’t get the audiobook!)

Fantastic twist on zombie theme!

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book on Audible. It was suspenseful and had twists and turns that I didn’t anticipate. The “Hungry” characters were interesting and creative. I couldn’t stop listening!
I will have to say, however, that I did not appreciate the music and sound effects. I found it to be distracting and annoying.
Nevertheless, I would highly recommend this book and the sequel, The Boy On The Bridge, which was even better than this one.

Amazing

I loved all of it, the music wasn’t overpowering in any way and was truly like a traditional narration
