The Becoming of Noah Shaw by Michelle Hodkin
3.0
(Audio book reader)
First and foremost! I wanna say that the narrator was excellent! It made the book more enjoyable and really made you feel like you were in Noah's head.
As for the book in general, it took me a while to really get in to it. I believe it's because the author took a while since the Mara Dyer trilogy to start this new series. Although it's in Noah's perspective, the story really banks on many things that happened in the previous three books. Once I started remembering who everyone was (others I had to look the characters online to remember) and what had happened in those previous books, the story started to make more sense and I was able to get in to the book a little bit more.
I gave it only 3 stars, because although the writing was good, it didn't grab me like the previous three books, until the end (why do authors do that?). It is always the last chapter... the middle is ok, but they always make up for it in that last chapter. That f*****g ending though! Bah! Anyways, hoping the next book will bring more answers and pick up a bit more of the pace since some parts felt more like filler.
