Touch

De: Claire North

Narrado por: Peter Kenny

Touch is an electrifying thriller by the author of The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August and 84K.

He tried to take my life. Instead, I took his.

It was a long time ago. I remember it was dark, and I didn't see my killer until it was too late. As I died, my hand touched his. That's when the first switch took place.

Suddenly, I was looking through the eyes of my killer, and I was watching myself die. Now switching is easy. I can jump from body to body, have any life, be anyone.

Some people touch lives. Others take them. I do both.

Loved every minute of this book

if you haven't read or listened to Claire Norths novels, dive in.

Her writing is witty, fast paced and fun.

Awesome Performance, but hard to follow

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Probably not. I really enjoyed The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August, but I think this book was a little hard to follow. I usually enjoy novels from different points of view, but I felt like this one flipped back and forth between flash backs and current storyline so much, it took a while to figure out where I left off when I'd stop listening and then start listening again.

What about Peter Kenny’s performance did you like?

Petter Kenny is an amazing voice actor. You really feel like each character is a distinct performer.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Yes.

Very good book

I really liked this book. It is very detailed in the describing the main characters emotions in their present situation. Really well written and the story takes turns you don't see coming.

Fantastic

Listened to Harry August and loved it. Love this one almost as much. The author just... The characters feel so real.

Awesome

Just great!!! Love it! Together w First 15 lives of Harry August - easily the best reads of 2015.

i loved and hatred Keppler!

I was so torn he's the villain and the hero great book great story great narrator

Very Hard Book To Listen To

Initially I liked the basis of the story. The idea of touching someone and your consciousness transfers over sounded like a very interesting story to me.

However, shortly into the book I realized all the jumping around from person to person, and then also from past to present and vise versa, became very confusing. I had to re-listen to various chapters over and over again to comprehend what was going on.

During my second time around, I took notes as I listened through the 1st half of the book again. This also helped me to better retain what I was reading but made the reading more like studying.

[Spoiler Alert]

Finally the last maybe 4 hours of the book I was finally hooked and didn’t need to rewind or take notes. This was when Kepler saves Nathan and afterwards they were sort of working together. Even though Nathan was adamant that they were “not friends”, in his way he did accept Kepler when he agreed to let Kepler use his body.

I felt like there should have been more at the end though.

Good Story. Too long descriptions of locales

loved the story if it wasn't for the hours spent describing the scenery. Still a great story and I had fun listening to it

Pay attention!

I loved this book as much as her other book, The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August. Like that book, you really have to pay close attention while listening to the story. If your mind strays for a moment, you could easily get lost in the complexities of the story.

Amazing Performance

Fantastic concept brought to life by Peter Kenny. Again,
North does not disappoint with her amazing style and creative storyline.
