Me Before You isn't my type of book at all, but I heard good things about the audio so I thought I would try it. Overall I would say I really enjoyed the audio narrators, but they were the most engaging part. I had a lot of problems with the plot line, some of the terminology that was used and I most certainly will not be reading the follow-up books. I didn't even realise this book was part of a series until somebody told me, I thought it was a standalone. I really hate books that have unnecessary sequels and this is one of them. I will admit the whole book was very easy to listen to and I got through it within a few days, as I was quite engaged in the plot and finding out what happened. However, I was not blown away and I cannot say I fell in love. The book was 'okay' which is why I've given it a 2 star rating which according to goodreads is an "it was ok".

Things I liked:
*The cast of narrators - well everyone except Nathan's narrator, he just didn't sound like he was from New Zealand. They all portrayed their characters really well and I really felt I could visualise people well.
*The short chapters that intersected Lou's narrative to give an insight into different elements
*That the book encourages people to see more in their own capabilities and try new things.
*The humour - there were some witty parts that made me laugh and smile and I liked that.

Things I did not like:
*This book appears to be marketed as a romance which it is not, its about how extraordinary experiences and people can change each others lives.
*The terminology that was used to describe Will's condition- it felt outdated and problematic.
*Some of the general handling of medical issues and

assisted suicide debates.

*Patrick - he was an arse from day one.

Lou should have gotten rid of him a long time ago, they had nothing in interest and I'm not sure why it took another man for her to see that.

*Lou's sudden enlightenment to being an intellectual individual following a few challenges from Will when initially she had been portrayed as a bit of a dumb bimbo.

I know this book has received a lot of hype and in some ways I can see why, but it's just not a book I can fan-girl over. I will definitely give Moyes books another try because I think the writing style is easy to read/listen to. However, I think I'll be avoiding the film altogether, I don't need to relieve the experience on big screen.
