Audio Review

This one ran through all of the emotions.
The first half was brutal and at times really gruesome. It was hard to read in the books but it was awful to listen to the brutality of all of the characters. Well done to the narrator for bringing that out so well.
The boys fought with everything they had and managed to get out of the jungle and return to their lives in London and when all felt like it was returning to norma they fought on a different front and it was a harder fight for Nikolas as he was fighting Ben himself, and the best way for him to win was to let him go and make the mistakes and come to the right decision in his own time.
I felt for Ben here and was impressed with his growth. He drove me nuts at times as he was pushing so much to prove he was the big man and didn't need to be in Nicholas's shadow. He made the right choices when the time came and all was right in the world.
The last quarter nearly had me crying and the emotions that were portrayed were so well done. Here we got to see Nikolas at his absolute lowest and he finally showed his absolute devotion to Ben. It was so good from his point of view.
