And it wasn't really suspenseful. An OK story though but it should be promoted differently.

Marvin Slay narrates and I have to say he portrays the character well and reads exactly what's written. I'm afraid though that's one of the few good things about this book. Part of what I didn't like about the audible copy was their use of background noises. Had it been done differently it might have worked but it was too loud in most cases and distracted from the words. As for the book itself, I liked the premise however it plodded along had many grammatical and editorial errors that made it hard to listen to Slay's narration. The author seems to be trying too hard to be something he's not, just like his characters. I might have expected too much however I think it was to easy for the protagonist to just fall into the role of villain. Would it have hurt to have him rise above his tragedy and become the judge he wanted to be? And why does the author have to make it seem glamorous? I'm disappointed too, when the character had flashbacks he wasn't disturbed by them and continued the activity. It made me think that he was truly a born sociopath and not made by the events at age 10. He became buffer and jury in a sense and I think the ending was a cop out. If he was really thinking of a good end, according to his law book, it would have included taking as many of the cops with him. I don't believe he was that altruistic after all the other the other things he's done. It was an interesting look into the underside of Boston in the 70's but I think it was a cop out to just assume the character would take to the crime life instead of rising above to take vengeance on those guilty of ruining his life.
