Gripping, believable. I couldn't wait to get into the car and hear the rest of it every evening!

What did you like best about Side Effects? What did you like least?

The sinister nazi scientist angle was promising but fell short of interesting.

Would you recommend Side Effects to your friends? Why or why not?

I would not recommend Side Effects unless it was on sale (less than $5).

What three words best describe Angela Dawe’s performance?

good, pedestrian, satisfactory

Do you think Side Effects needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Although the end hints to a follow-up book and other listeners seemed to enjoy this book, I don't think a sequel is necessary.

Any additional comments?

Mahalo.

i shouldn't review this book as i haven't been able to get past the first hour. the narrator is so oddly distracting that i actually replayed the opening five minutes three times to try to figure out what she was saying...if this sounds harsh, listen long enough to hear her SING the national anthem...in a nazi accent. excruciating enough that i bought a new book to listen to...

roseanne sings the national anthem

Very seldom do I see a book that is almost trashed by the reader. I really wanted to reach right in there and reduce the woman's caffine alotment at a few points in the book. I am fairly able to listen to a fast reader but this one got obnoxious.
I had to put the story aside in my mind just to try and follow what this really fast reader was
TRYING to say. Very distracting.
That said I also noted that a few times I think she was actually enjoying the book and slowed down a tiny bit to savor it.

how fast can we read a book outloud?
