Definitely found myself up at night, listening to it… In my bedroom when I could because it was kind of scary in places. Suspenseful. Well written.
Narration was very good.

That being said, why is it when gay authors, design their characters in their heads that the gay people in the book are always liberal Democrats. This book brings up the evil father donating money to Donald Trump. What a travesty. 👀

This was a great gay love story. Good entertainment.
Only does it really hit home when you listen to the prologue of this book and find out that many of the things you’re reading about are indeed real. The prologue also puts a face to the people that are involved in such situations.
I’m a gay male and this story has become a new favorite of mine as it is very relevant to things that I went through.

My new Stephen King
Reviewed: 08-31-22
I finished Suicide Forest as an audible book last night about 2am in in the morning in a fit to find out what happened.
The only book that I can truly say was a page turner, knuckle biting, high string… just an incredible book like this book was the first Stephen King book I ever read, Misery.
This book is the fist book that I’ve listened to or read by this author. But it packs a punch unlike I’ve seen in a very long while.
Suicide Forest, as I said, was writing unlike I’ve seen in a while. The story was sound and well written, I enjoyed the narrator chosen for this book as well.
Watch out Stephen King… if the other books Jeremy has written are close to this first book I have read, I’m already a big fan and hungry for more.

I’m normally a Stephen King fan and have read and listened to all his books. I don’t like being disappointed so I tend to stick with the same authors. It’s what I listen to right before bedtime.
But I ventured out and
got this Audiobook as it was suggested by Audible.
Although I didn’t read book one and went to book two, it didn’t affect the story.
I loved this book. The readers were very good, the story was excellent and I really enjoined the additional sound effects.
I’m 54 years old but I had to stop listening to this book because it got to tense or down right scary. I haven’t had to do that in a Very long time.
I highly recommend this book.
Now, to go back and read the first book in the series.

All of his books.
Reviewed: 08-01-20
I love Roeder books. I’ve read almost all of them. But, maybe it’s because I live in the southern part of the United States, but you aren’t going to find a school that is that excepting. Where half the football team is gay. Where everyone is totally excepting of all gays. Where every parent is totally ok and excepting of all there children being gay... at first.
What I’m getting at is his books are a little unrealistic. This one even more so.
As far as this story goes, as a little unbelievable as it may seem, this was a beautiful story… At first I was extremely confused but about chapter 2 or 3, I figured out what was going on and the book had a very good ending. Spoiler here… I almost cried when he opened got and opened the box.
But just a little to perfect a world.

I really enjoyed the story. It was really well written. I can’t wait to listen to Metropolis Book 2.
The person that read the audio book just brought another dimension of realism to it.
He did different characters voices and it didn’t sound weird. He really made the book real.
Kudos to him.
Really enjoyable book that was meaningful.

Different but The Original.
Reviewed: 01-16-18
I’ve seen the Webber musical a number times all over the world and the movie once...
But in these pages is where all the movies, major Motion picture and the beloved musical was adapted. It is what all based on this.
I consider myself to be a true Phantom follower growing up, now and for the rest of my life. The different stories that followed the book have some similarities and overtones to this original work and some and some never heard or listened to. This book is far more detailed from it’s “descendants”.
I feel that this book, written more than 100 years ago, will stand the test of time as a great literary work that stirs the soul as it is a beautiful and not so beautiful story unlike any other. It stirs the sole, the heart and the imagination.
Must read!!

These two guys, Chess nerd and quarterback
fall in deep true love entirely too easy. That part was extremely unrealistic which is what a book like this is about.. falling in love and what continues from there.
No graphic sex… Which is what I like. Sex but not every single detail described. Leave a few things to the imagination.

This entire book was a super Audio Book.
The characters were very endearing. You felt the joy you felt your pain.
The reason for the four stars instead of five was because of the narrator"s perception of what Sky"s Voice would be like. The tone that the narrator used was far too deep and too "Rusty".
That"s the only way I can describe his voice.
I hope that Mark uses a different narrator next time.
