The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea

The story itself is pretty decent. The characters are a bit boring half the time. And there's some very messed up things that happen in this book that I was not expecting.
However, my biggest issue with this audiobook, is the narrator. He kind of made the story seem a bit more boring than it probably is. And there were many parts where he went so low, that even with the volume on my phone turned all the way up, I still could not hear him.
I do not recommend the audiobook version of this.

There was a lot different from the movie. I have seen the movies many times. I rewatch them at least once a year. But there were so many differences between the two. Missing characters, deaths that happened in the book but not the movie, and so much more.
I usually tell my husband the differences between a movie and book, but there was so much with this one that I told him to just listen to the audiobook.
Overall, it was a great book! I did like most of the characters. And of course there was a few I didn't like.
There were many times when I was stressed or scared for the characters. Times when I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what happened next. I didn't want to put it down most of the time.
The only thing that got me was when there was science talk. I am not a science person, but I still love books that have that in there. Weird...probably. lol
I am excited to read book 2 though! And then it will be time for another rewatch of the movies!

I would have liked it better if we never found out who sent the letters.
There were some twists and reveals that were very unexpected.
The biggest thing that got to me about this book was that the main character noticed the difference in her friend from when she first met him. 3 times. Within the span of 3 chapters that felt like it was one after another. We get it. He looks different. The 2nd time it was mentioned was whatever. But the 3rd time that came up, so close to the other 2 times, made me wonder if the author forgot she put that in the book already... twice.
Other than that though, it was a pretty good book.
