Stellar Narration and an Entertaining Read

Revisado: 03-18-25

Im not generally a spy thriller girl, but narrator Eduardo Ballerini is a favorite, so I gave it a go. Maybe not a completely original storyline (Is that you Jason Bourne?), but it was original enough to keep my attention and Im kind of a judgey reader . The action scenes were dedcriptive, yet not overly wordy they way I often find then to be. There were enough unanswered questions (as there should be in installment works) to leave me wanting more, but not frustrated by the fact. Ive already purchased the next Agent Zero book.

That ending...oy vey!

Revisado: 04-04-22

I actually enjoyed the vast majority of the book, but the ending was just unfortunate. It was rushed, left so many open plot lines and unanswered questions. Maybe its intended to be a series? If so, I'll definitely buy subsequent books, but Im left a bit disappointed, for now.

Not Bad, At All

Revisado: 01-24-22

A great story, somewhat blandly narrated. It wasn't a blockbuster that kept me coming back for more, but it was enjoyable enough that I never considered DNF-ing it. If the narration had been a bit more lively, I probably would have given it 5s across the board. As is, Id still chose to listen to both the book and the narrator, again.

Post Apocalypse, Sans Zombies

Revisado: 03-04-21

Fantastic story telling of the end of the world as we know it, with nary a zombie in sight. No, friends, this a realistic, completely plausible, could actually happen story. The way he weaves the twists and turns of a storyline is second to none. And don't even get me started on the narration! Seriously, Rupert Degas is stellar. This is one you'll listen to more than once.

Incredibly Frustrating

Revisado: 01-16-20

This is one of the most frustrating, disappointing books I've ever purchased. It read like a gossip column, often repeating rumor and ineundo, incessantly. Over and over we're told Princess Louise didnt love her husband, didnt spend time with him, he was gay, and she had lots of lovers. Over and over. At the same time, just once, there was mention of her instense worry for niece Czarina Alexandra...and then nothing else. All this worrying and no mention of her beloved niece, and her family, following the events of 1918. These are just a few of the far too many examples to mention. There was no follow through; no back up.

Disjointed, repetitive, and frankly, it often felt like a dirty tabloid. What's worst of all, is that I learned nothing new about the Princess. The narrator was the lone bright spot.

This is a disappointing no, from me.

Potential foiled by the narration

Revisado: 12-28-19

The narrator's one note delivery made this a difficult listen, that I was unable to finish. I think I'll wait a few months and try to read the hard copy, as the story is quite intriguing..

Fantastic narration for a developing series.

Revisado: 10-19-19

You can tell this is an evolving story, perhaps not completely yet sure where its going. Still hooked me, though. And Sean Runette is the narrator king!

What a surprise!

Revisado: 10-04-19

It's what Grisham used to be, minus the meandering prose, plus some added humor. Fantastic narration. I've added this author and narrator to my my list.

So Frustrating

Revisado: 07-02-19

I finally gave up. Most books require a certain amount of suspension of belief, but this one is asks too much of the reader/listener. The characters just aren't very likeable and, frankly, not believable. I don't think it would be possible to write a more shrill, annoying female character, than Erica. I'm so frustrated I can't organize my thoughts. It was a good idea, and could have been a great book, but it turned out to be a mess.
