Story
The day Lacey Sturm planned to kill herself was the day her grandmother forced her to go to church, a place Lacey thought was filled with hypocrites, fakers, and simpletons. The screaming match she had with her grandmother was the reason she went to church. What she found there was the reason she is alive today. With raw vulnerability, this hard-rock princess tells her own story of physical abuse, drug use, suicide attempts, and her ultimate salvation.

From what I did read the story was ok
So I wasn’t able to Finnish this book.
The way it is written is frustrating. There is so much “said” and it doesn’t need to be written so much, we can tell that it’s been spoken by the character but what is lacking is the information we need to know how it was said.
It felt a bit hard to get into the flow because the sentences felt a bit short. I liked the idea of the story and from what I got through it was good.
The main reason I couldn’t Finnish the book was because it sounded like the narrator was reading the words and not actually reading a book. There was a lot feeling and emotion that was lacking.

Weird, eratic kind of fantasy
I have stated this before and there’s no doubt I’ll make the same point again. If words tummble from the mouth of a character then it is blatantly obvious that they were ‘said’. What is not so obvious is how they were ‘said’ that is what readers need to know not the fact of them having been ‘said’ so for that reason this story loses one star. there is far too much ‘said’ in it for my taste. Now for the story. Well, it reminds me a bit of ‘Alice’s adventures in wonderland’ teenage stylle. The central character certainly is going through a truly messed up period of her life not helped by the performance though she has nothing to do with that. Valllery is in most respects, a typical teenager all mixed up inside and out, a crazy but with something more in there. Thenaration is truly awful though. I can’t explain why it is so bad but it is. You’ll have to take the book and try it to fully understand just how bad the performance is though I’m not sure I’d recommend it unless you don’t mind a whole bunch of ‘said’ that is and you want something truly warped and weird in which case yeah, this book is pretty close to the mark.

A Suicide Attempt and Incarcerated in Hospital
I at first found the story unusual but interesting. The things that happen in the Pyc-ward are Very weird, but I still continued with the story. After 1 month in Pyc-ward she is released and goes back to her life, but Weird things still keep happening to her. By the time I made it to Chapter 6 the MC Valery is going on about a screen play she co- wrote and how she will be a Star. Also the Otherworld people stating how Holy she now is. At this point I had enough, story getting to damn Weird and nonsensical.

Unique story worth a listen
This was an interesting book. It took me awhile to get past the narrators speech cadence. She does a good job but I felt she had this intensity throughout the entire book rather than ebbs and flows based on what was happening. I also wish the book was a bit longer and the author took more time with the setup. It felt like the beginning was rushed and I would have liked to get to know Valerie a bit more before the suicide attempt.
Overall, a unique story with intriguing characters. Definitely worth a listen!

Really interesting story, sadly the narration is not great
A Broken World follows the story of a young girl that is struggling with her mental health, ends up in a psychiatric ward and is recruited to help the god Golletta in a different dimension - while continuing to live in her own dimension, too.
I enjoyed the story itself, but sadly the narration could be so much better. It is very rushed and does not reflect or paint any of the emotion or moods of the story at all. It’s a very generic “reading aloud” rather than telling the actual story. The pacing is so fast, rushed - barely any pauses - that combined with the generic reading-out-loud it sometimes becomes difficult to stay with the story.

Mental and spiritual warfare
Broken world is about schizophrenia but also has elements of spiritual warfare between good and evil. I must admit that after listening to it there were so many questions about mental disorders.

Thought-provoking
It was an interesting listen that will have you thinking about things for a while afterwards. I thought the author did a good job considering the type of book it is, but it was missing something for me as a listener. I wasn't drawn in as much as I would have liked and I'm not sure if it was the writing or the narration that was the cause.
The narrator did good, but I just don't think she was right for the story.
I received a review copy at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review.

Wow just wow
This book was an eye opener. It shows the ins and out of schizophrenia, spiritual warfare, and the mental escape to another world. On top of that the god dilemma was interesting. A god needing someone’s help and not being able to have the power it’s self. The god falling asleep because no one believes. Is that really a real god? This book made me think on many issues. Very very very good!
