good but not the best of the best of the series

The narrator was good and the story was as well, but the interactions between the characters can be frustrating. The main character never seems to know what is going and neither do most of the characters. The ending ties things up nicely for the series.

Different narrator?

I enjoyed the story, but found the narrator difficult to stay with. Her voice is nice enough, but I found mispronounced words/names annoying. I read the previous books and don't know if she narrated them as well.

What a let down

I couldn’t even finish which is disappointing. The narrator sounds like a computer generated voice and the story is blah.

WHAT HAPPENED!!!!!

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

I LOVED BOOKS 1 AND 2 BUT THIS BOOK WAS AWEFUL. I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THERE IS A WAY TO MAKE THIS BOOK BETTER.

What was most disappointing about Meg Cabot’s story?

ALL OF THE CHARACTER JUST ACTED SO STUPID ALL THE TIME.

What didn’t you like about Natalia Payne’s performance?

SHE SOUNDED TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM HOW SHE SOUNDED IN BOOK 2. I JUST DIDN'T LIKE THE CHANGES

Off Set

I liked the first two alright- I couldn't finish this one though. Something was definitely off on this book and didn't match the other two very well. The narrator was very monotone too.
