No more Dick Hill. Hallelujah!

Revisado: 11-15-19

It's amazing how much the reader can add or remove from the enjoyment of an audio book. I started with Audible 12 years ago and one of the first books I bought was read by Dick Hill. I vowed never to get another book read by him. I was caught out once as it seems he also went by another last name. Anyway I can finally start listening to Jack Reacher. Very happy.

Better than the last few

Revisado: 05-27-19

I did enjoy this book. It's a lot better than some of the recent Lucas stories. However no where near as good as the early novels. I've just started listening to "Eyes of Prey" again. It's a masterpiece. Amazing tension and really good character development. Sadly it's obvious that Sandford is now under contract to produce a Lucas every year and his heart has not been in it recently. But I hold hope that Neon Prey is a turning point.

Loved it!

Revisado: 01-06-19

Firstly the narration is excellent. Yes it not the same person as for Dawn Patrol but so what? Holter Graham effortly switches between Boone's laid back SoCal drawl and Petra's educated female Brit voice. That's talent.
Secondly I loved the humor when dealing with unpleasant topics. Reminded me of Joseph Wambaugh.

Good conclusion

Revisado: 08-16-16

If you enjoyed The Gold Coast then get this and ignore all the negative reviews. I put off getting this book for months based on those reviews but finally decided to give it a try. I'm happy I did. Christian Rummel does an amazing job in bringing the characters to life especially his ability with women's voices.

Tough to finish

Revisado: 07-18-15

This is a hard book to get through, in fact I haven't finished it yet. I found myself being able to only handle 30 minutes at a time. I would get so angry that I had to switch to something more uplifting before I got to work. The stories of child rape that are ignored by the mainstream media due to PC "sensibilities" are particularly infuriating. However this message is important and I commend Ann for her courage in writing it.
My only suggestion is get someone else to read it as Ann's very deadpan delivery doesn't suit such an incendiary topic.

Good narration, weak story

Revisado: 04-18-15

Robert Petkoff's narration is excellent. I wish he did the Jack Reacher series. Unfortunately I found the story weak with some really juvenile dialog.

Bitter sweet

Revisado: 11-21-14

I loved this book. The fourth in the Hoke Moseley series and it seems to me that Charles Willeford was just getting warmed up with Hoke. I would have loved to see how Hoke did in his new job (no spoilers). Sadly Willeford died soon after and we'll never know.

Loved It!!

Revisado: 11-08-14

I only recently discovered Charles Willeford and sadly there is only one book left as the author died soon after writing it. Yes these books are from the eighties but so what? The stories are rich and remind me so much of early Joseph Wambaugh. The narrator does a good job.

The mantle has been passed!

Revisado: 08-18-13

Excellent story, very good narration. Vince Flynn, you will always been missed. Taken too young, you had so much more to say. Ben Coes, you have big shoes to fill, but this book is a very promising start.

Destroyed by narrator

Revisado: 07-24-13

What would have made The Mark better?

To have been read by Richard Ferrone

Would you be willing to try another book from Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins ? Why or why not?

Yes, by a different narrator.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

After following the series as read by Richard Ferrone I was disappointed to fine that he had not narrated "The Mark". So I tried the most recent recording read by Jack Sondericker. What a huge fail. The accents are terrible, a New Zealander sounds Cockney, Zion the Jewish rabbi sounds like a Nazi!! His name is pronounced "see on" instead of Zion. And Carpathia and Fortunado are so over the top as to sound cartoonish. I didn't make it past chapter 3.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disappointment
