Macy Mercer only wants a little independence. Eager to prove
herself grown up, she goes to a dark, secluded park. She's supposed to meet the
boy of her dreams who she met online. But the cute 15-year-old was a fantasy,
his pictures fake. She finds herself face to face with Chester Woodran, a man
capable of murder.
Distraught over his own missing daughter, Chester insists
that Macy replace his lost girl. He locks Macy up, withholds food, and roughs
her up, demanding that she call him dad. Under duress from his constant threats
and mind games, her hold on reality starts to slip. Clinging to her memories is
the only way of holding onto her true identity, not believing that she is
Chester's daughter. Otherwise she may never see her family again.
My Thoughts…
I have read the printed copy of Gone and was enthralled with
the story. You can see my review here.
I am not going to repeat my review of the story; I am going to review
the audio part of the story.
I am partial to male narrators. The narrator for this book was almost
perfect. When using his tone for the
different characters I could actually see the characters and feel their
emotions. As he was telling the story I
sometimes felt his voice was flat, sometimes dull, but I suppose this made
differentiating between the characters and the narration more pronounced. I enjoyed how the chapters flowed easily,
keeping listening very easy.
Although, I realize the length of the audio book is directly
related to the number of pages in the book but Gone is the right size. It was long enough that I did not listen to
it all in one sitting, but short enough that I did not feel like I was
listening to the same story forever. I
listen while I work out and enjoy listening to a book that takes me about a week
or 5 days to listen to.
I am anxious for the rest of the books in this series to be
released in the audio format. Stacy
Claflin is definitely an author that I always enjoy, both in the written form
and the audio form.
