I actually originally rated the written book as a 4/4.5 but it is now a definite 5 and moving to my favourites shelf! End of the Beginning (Book 2) This is the second book in the series and part of the Tales From Foster High audio book so I listened to rather than read this book. I wouldn't usually come right out and recommend an audio book over the ebook or print edition (I'm a bit old-school that way and prefer the characters in my head) but this is the reverse for me. But most of all I loved the strength and honesty. I loved public confrontations and grand gestures. I loved the nerd and the jock facing life head on. I loved the emotion and challenge of growing up. I loved the style of writing and characters were totally wonderful. Sometimes the narrator's voice and style doesn't match the characters I have built in my head but this one hit the nail on the head - brilliant! Michael Stellman's voice captured Kyle perfectly with a real sense of youth and emotion. It was so interesting to compare my thoughts on the story from my own reading experience versus my thoughts from the listening experience. The narrator, Michael Stellman, enhances the story and takes nothing away. And WOW! If I thought I enjoyed the story the first time round, the audio version just improved on it. Then I had the chance to listen to the audio version. Maybe With A Chance of Certainty (book 1) I bought this book (and the rest of the series) and obviously started with this one first - duh! I read and LOVED it.
