A MEASURE OF SERENITY by Bryan Prosek Book Tour & Giveaway! {Ends 12/17/22}

Review By LAWonder10:

18-year-old Serenity was a Senior at Harvard University. She had a unique minf=d for numbers, calculations, and analyses. Her mind was too set on a learning mode to enjoy any type f social life. She thought there were young men interested in her but she could.t be sure. She never took the time to explore it. Her Father was very proud of her and her magnificent intellect. Her mother was killed in a strange car accident they had when she was 9 years old. Her father was so busy all the time with his important work, she seldom got to see him. She and her younger brother were mostly raised by her grandparents.

Now in her Senior year, she is given the opportunity to work in a special “top secret” facility due to her keen inter=llrct and unique skills. She was excited because it was the same facility her father worked at. Perhaps she can see him more often!

On her first day of working on this new project, she receives a mysterious text message from her father. She soon received a second text message that read “Urgent”. However, when she broke rules by going into his part of the facility, her whole life changed! She couldn’t believe her existence and nothing was what she expected to find.

This is a story about a unique young woman who was gentle, and secure in the love of her family, yet was very insecure socially, as many geniuses are. 

This is a story of going outside one’s comfort zone and discovering strengths and weaknesses never realized before.  It is about wars, leadership, tragedy, loss, and grief. This us a tale about finding hope when it seems impossible to find. 

The characters were all realistic and believable, the scenes were vividly described in a way the reader/listener could easily visualize. The Narrator was successful in even more fully “bringing the listener into the story”. 

The Author could not have picked a better Narrator for the audiobook! One would think with her young, feminine-sounding voice that she couldn’t portray the different characters, especially the male “voices”. She was a delightful surprise. She did an outstanding job! 

She was consistent in each “voice”, placed emphasis in all the right places, and maintained energy and enthusiasm the entire story.

I offer a Five Stars rating for the story and a Five Stars Plus rating for the narration.

This audiobook was gifted me with no pressure to post a positive review. This is my honest review.
