Tiger's Curse

De: Colleen Houck

Narrado por: Annika Boras, Sanjiv Jahveri

The last thing teenager Kelsey Hayes thought she'd be doing over the summer was meeting Ren, a mysterious white tiger and cursed Indian prince! When she learns she alone can break the Tiger's curse, Kelsey's life is turned upside-down. The unlikely duo journeys halfway around the world to piece together an Indian prophecy, find a way to free the man trapped by a centuries-old spell, and discover the path to their true destiny.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A smart, vibrant adventure romance wrapped in a quest… takes the protagonists through adventures that would make Steven Spielberg proud… Full of danger, dash, allegory, and love under the banana tree." ( Kirkus Reviews)

Need to use 1.5 speed!

If you could sum up Tiger's Curse in three words, what would they be?

India Mythology Intrigue (since Tiger and Curse are already in the title :-))

What other book might you compare Tiger's Curse to and why?

The Little Princess for the Indian mythology! The Lightning Thief for the teen living mythology! The author says Twilight meets Indiana Jones--that is true also!

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Too "rote" and slow. It sounds like a poetry reading not a teenager's life! I love the book! I like the narration! But Annika Boras is too slow in her narration! Kelsey has more energy in my head. Thank goodness you can change the speed without messing up the vocal tone! This book is perfect at 1.5 speed narration!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, but that is a good thing! I wanted to puzzle out some of the issues and try to figure out what might happen next!

Any additional comments?

Great book for those with middle eastern heritage! The Indian mythology is wonderful!

TOTALLY ENTHRALLED WITH THIS BOOK!

This book is classy, written so well, and the story line is awesome. The characters come alive for me and I couldn't stop listening. I could not get enough and immediately read book #2. I understand the author has just signed to make this book into a movie and I know it'll be great. I am anxiously awaiting the availability of book #4 in this series which just came out this month. Hope Audible gets it in soon!

A little Cheesy but a magical adventure

Would you listen to Tiger's Curse again? Why?

Yes this was a great series I would probably listen to this while traveling though, because I'm not a huge fan of re-listening to books

What other book might you compare Tiger's Curse to and why?

I can't say I can really think of a book all that similar to this one

What about Annika Boras and Sanjiv Jahveri ’s performance did you like?

Annika Boras has a great talent for voice acting that at some points you couldn't tell that it was just her who was voicing all the characters. She does such convincing male voices and Indian accents that I am sure she is part of the reason I loved this series so much

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Where would you go to save those you loved

Any additional comments?

This novel is definitely meant for the young adult reader however it is such a gripping tale that you get sucked in none the less. I had to get over the fact that everyone and their cat, no pun intended, fell in love with Kellsey however she was a realistic enough character that I could overlook it. She reacts when things happen not just accepts them without freaking out.

Awesome story and lovely narration.

Loved reading the book, throughly enjoyed hearing it just as much! favorite moments: the kiss Ren and Kelsey shared when they finished the quest for the fruit. And then Kelsey finally explaining why she had to go home.

Pretty Good!

The man narrating the prelude and epilogue was an awful narrator, but Annika Boras was great. The storyline was good, a wee bit slow for my taste but still engaging.
The romantic relationship was kind of hokey, like come on Kelsey get over it! Her hesitation is a bit forced, but overall the story was pretty good. I would recommend, I just got the second book if that says anything :)

still amazing

i read the series yrs ago, listened to it now. still a wonderful story. great reading.

😱😱😱❤️️❤️️❤️️❤️️❤️️❤️️❤️❤️💕💕💕

I love this book so much I really really love this book ❤️️❤️️❤️️love love love

Childhood favorite

I love this series, and have the paperback collection in my library shelf, and haven’t had time to read it in a while, and really craved it. They did an amazing job bringing the characters to life, and putting a voice to Kelsey, Ren, Mr Kahdam, Nilima and Kashan! I never thought it would get better. ❤️

Don’t stop reading, you will not regret!

This book/series was recommended to me, and I started it very excited about the story. The story engaged me as it progressed, but I started to grow more and more irritated by the teen portrayed in the book and her reactions. If you feel the same way, don’t be discouraged! I had to reflect on my own teen daughters and me as a teenager years ago, and I had to admit that much of the insecurities, lack of confidence, inexperience, and more of these mixed feelings were there too. As to the readers that claim that some of it might have not been realistic enough, hello! This is fiction! A fantasy- so I don’t understand any criticism regarding how real or unreal the story unwinded. Please, continue reading, the following books become breathtaking, and I promise you that you will not be able to stop halfway. The twists and turns in the story are totally unpredictable! The end, the last book, is epic. This first volume is barely the beginning of the great adventure that lies ahead of you.

Meh

So... I hated this book at first. My friend and I made a pact to trade books and I really didn't like the first 1/3 of it. Kelsey makes me insane - seriously worst heroine ever. BUT Ren is written really well, I like his character a lot and the story definitely keeps your interest. It gets better as it goes. I went in thinking I would've quit by now, had I not promised that I'd finish it, but then I downloaded the second one. It's like a bad habit. Also, it's literally Twilight with tigers instead of vampires.
