À propos de cet audio
Emma and her friend Chloe are spending vacation in Florida. When Emma (literally) runs into a hot guy named Galen on the beach, little does she know he's a prince of the Syrena. Galen and Emma both feel something strange - is it attraction? - and Galen suspects that Emma might well be the girl he's heard of - a human who can communicate with fish. What follows is a deadly scene with a shark in which Galen witnesses Emma's gifts. He must know more about her, and follows her back to New Jersey, and high school, to find out for sure if she's the key to saving his kingdom.
Soon, Emma can't deny her feelings for him, but can't explain them, either - and both she and Galen must learn more about where she comes from and what her powers are before they can trust one another and their feelings. Told from both Emma and Galen's points of view, here is a fish-out-of-water story that sparkles with intrigue, humor, and waves of romance.

This isn't it. Although I was pleased to find this 'Plus' selection, it was disappointingly unimpressive.
Banks writes with acceptable vocabulary & prose, capable description, and enough courage to add mature themes like duty/loyalty and death/loss to her fantasy-infused-with-young-romance story.. but writes cartoonishly petulant "tween"-level characters (there is ZERO chance that 'Emma' is 18) while introducing incongruously Adult topics like sex & having offspring [Overly-emotional teens (in High School for some reason) blushing & giggling with embarrassment when intercourse is mentioned is eyeroll-inducing].
In addition, Banks inexplicably hops from First-Person Perspective to Third-Person to Omniscient and back again.. usually chapter-by-chapter, but occasionally at random (her writing discipline is brutal).
Those errors are enough to make me wonder if Anna Banks is actually writing for a Creative Writing class (with a permissive instructor) - rather than a commercial publisher.
More fortuitously, Blackstone Audio Inc. do a remarkable job supporting an excellent reading performance by Rebecca Gibel. Other than a couple of uncomfortably long "dead air" periods between paragraphs, sound quality is exemplary.. and Gibel reads the book as though she has an intimate knowledge of the author's intention. Character voices are a little Hollywood Cliché, but sound pretty much exactly as written.
If given a choice between a text (Paper or eBook) version of the story or this audiobook iteration, choose this one hands-down.
Even with solid production values, however, I cannot recommend this 2.5/10 star audiobook - even if you have girls in the target audience (aged 11-14).
It would make a passable distraction on a cross-country drive to Grandma's house, I suppose, but the writing is lazy and the mature themes are not handled well.. this book is more likely to rot immature brains than entertain.
Even for free, 'Of Poseidon' is a waste of time. Should they ask for a Credit, you're crazy to spend it.
Sophomoric.. No.. Actually Puerile
