Product Description

I have just started listening to the abridged audio book of “Bitten” read by Aasne Vigesaa.
First impressions:
Excellent reader.
I agree it is corny.
Dialogue, description, the story, the werewolf culture/system/rules that she has created has a corny/unreal feel to it.
Everything is a bit too ‘convenient’ which jars the ‘suspension of disbelief.’
I would definitely describe this as “popcorn.” It is the “cheeseburger and fries” of the genre.
Too much of the book seems to be one long inner monologue of the main character, much too ‘dramatic’ and long winded.
Too much description?
The writing style is not really to my taste.
A lot of things bothered me as well, like this:
“At last count there were approximately 35 werewolves in the world.”
I actually ran the tape back because I thought I had misheard.
“Bitten” has the ‘suspension of disbelief’ equal to an episode of Scooby Doo. But on the other hand how popular is Scooby Doo?
At last count there were approximately 35 fish in the world.
At last count there were approximately 35 frogs in the world.
My review is probably too harsh. It is more difficult to judge a book when you hear it rather than read it.
The reader, whilst very good, had a ‘corny’ sounding voice which made it sound worse and being an actress was very dramatic. At one point my brother walked in and said, “Who is this ‘great’ actress?”
Rating: 1 / 5
I hoped for a good story. This book began to offer that and then around page 100 was a “sex scene”. I trashed the book.
Rating: 1 / 5
this book was a good book but a little slow in the beginning. once you get into it though you become hooked.
Rating: 4 / 5
Life hasn’t turned out the way Elena planed. In this fast paced novel by Kelley Armstrong, Elena believed she just wanted a simple, normal life. As we all know, nothing is ever that simple. Her live-in boyfriend and his family are giving her the normal life she craves, but they don’t know she is a werewolf. Then an urgent call sends Elena hurrying back to the pack she has tried to seperate herself from and the love of her life.The danger, action and romance will draw you quickly into this preternatural reality. Bitten will keep you reading through the night. Buy this book.

I was expecting a horror novel, but this is more of a romantic fantasy. I don’t understand why she’s the only female werewolf in the world. It was a good read so I suspended my disbelief.
