A Darker Christmas Tale

•audiobook• 3.50

It took several listens for the book to make sense and grow on me. I’m not sure if it was story line, characters, narrator, or a combination of those.
Although it wasn’t captivating, it was intriguing, which prompted my numerous attempts.
The time lines were confusing, and although I listened to it multiple times, it never really quite made sense.
In the end, I decided I did like it, for a book geared towards our youth.
Tangled in right and wrong; good and bad; and simple choices based on character or whim, it had a unique depth for a short novel.
It’s not heavy but it does have a quaint complex.

hard to listen to

The first few chapterss are full of useless details and hard to listen to. the narrator doesnt fit this book. It pick up then just ends. i got to say it the first audible book wish I'd returned it was so bad.
