Sweet but dull
It is romantic and at times thought provoking. Easy listening.
The narrator has a sweet yet monotone voice which didn't help warm me to the very basic lead character. Male voices performed in the story are quite cringe and took me out of it.
Not much happens in the story and unfortunately I am not compelled to read the next books.
I would recommend this to young readers. Perhaps 8-11 years old.

Amazing!
This is one of my favourite books but this is my first time listening on audio. The narrator really does it justice and I was hooked even though I already know the story.
The story is so emotional and involving, and the characters are so believable. I love it.

Realisation blooms...
Kate Simses narrative fits beautifully in with the possible voice of the heroine making listening a pleasure. Ally Condie has created a world where control is key to the very existence of the population, but shows how this is not good for everyone, and how they come to certain conclusions and reactions or capitulation. I bought the book about ten years ago and enjoyed it enough to immediately purchase the other two, which I am looking forward to listening to now. Holding books and finding separate time to read, away from the many other things I could be doing led me to audible. Some narrators and indeed authors are, of course, better than others. Here I award full marks across the board.

good story, bad reader
the story was good but the music that kept playing was really irritating as well as the drastic voices for the messages and the brother

Good Book
At frist it was hard to get into but once you get to know the characters and love them the way that the writer wants you to love them its like you can't put it down. Absolutely enjoyed this book.

A dystopian love story
A bit slow at first but bare with it. It's an interesting love affair where a young girl tries to find her self in a dictatorship society.

Gentle and Poetic
I loved the story, the characters and the pace and I don't really understand how other readers/ listeners would find it boring. This is not a thriller and it's not fast paced. But the story is captivating and relevant. How much do you agree with society telling you what's best for you?
At first I thought the narrators voice would be unsuitable and annoying, but it turned out to be pleasantly gentle and matched the characters nicely. This is allegedly 'Teenage Fiction' but I rather enjoyed it, in my forties. Looking forward to the following book.

Has potential but mainly boring
This story has so much potential yet it's a let down. The characters are all pretty boring and the story starts well but my interest was lost half way through listening.
