About this listen

 From Frank Portman, author of the cult classic King Dork that John Green says "will rock your world", comes a novel about Andromeda Klein, who has a few problems of her own.

Her hair is kind of horrible.

Her partner-in-occultism, Daisy, is dead.

Her secret, estranged, much older and forbidden boyfriend-in-theory, has gone AWOL.

And her mother has learned how to text.

In short, things couldn't get much worse. Until they do. Daisy seems to be attempting to make contact from beyond, books are starting to disappear from the library, and then, strangely and suddenly, Andromeda's tarot readings are beginning to predict events with bizarrely literal accuracy.

Omens are everywhere. Dreams; swords; fires; hidden cards; lost, broken, and dead cell phones . . . and what is Daisy trying to tell her?

In the ensuing struggle of neutral versus evil, it's Andromeda Klein against the world, modern society, demonic forces, and the "friends" of the library.©2009 Frank Portman; (P)2009 Listening Library Dating & Sex Difficult Situations Family & Relationships Friendship Literature & Fiction Mysteries & Detectives Mystery, Thriller & Suspense

What disappointed you about Andromeda Klein?

I kept expecting something to happen. The entire story felt as if there was something exciting just around the next corner. I listened to the whole thing in this vain and by the end I was left with a frustrated and slightly cheated feel.

What will your next listen be?

Next on the listening list: The Paladin Project, Miranda Hart's Is it Just me and a re-listen to my old reliables of The Infernal Devices series and Dick Francis books.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

Picked a better book; she did very well with what she had.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Andromeda Klein?

It isn't what I would cut out that is the problem with this book- it's what isn't there! Plot twists, depth to characters, the basic mountain of a story (beginning, middle, climax, end); all are missing!

Any additional comments?

This book had so much promise but I won't be listening to any more from this author.

Hmmm...
