inaccuracies very annoying and pulled me out

Revisado: 10-02-23

I dont pay attention to authors and had this in my library for quite some time so I probably wouldn't have remembered anyway...but I could very much tell a man wrote this book. and not a very educated man. so many inaccuracies and thought processes that would not make sense for a woman - like if you're going to have a female main character.....you need to be very good at getting in their head. this ain't it. also, inaccuracies on the science of flight/fight/freeze responses and forensic methods, etc. calling someone sleeping around immoral, saying they had a broken moral compass etc. just wow - that was focused on more than the boy who wanted to unalive people. I mean god....do you really need 5 entire sentences saying how immoral sleeping around is?

I'm a forensic scientist, btw, and I normally give some amount of leeway but...this just wasn't good. it all kept pulling me out of the story which is very hard to do. which the plot isn't awful...but when you throw in the bs it downgrades it to a 2 star story.

I love the movie

Revisado: 07-10-22

I loved this movie as a kid and watched it a million times. I just realized that it was a book. I was quite disappointed in this book. it wasn't nearly as good as the movie, which I have only said a very few times in my life.

some things didn't make sense at all. Karen Ross faints at one point. um no, she is a bad ass. so no...I liked in the movie that they made her much more of a bad ass.

also the droning on and on about super technical things...ugh. when the importance of the blue diamonds is being explained toward the 3nd of the book...I felt like it was a lecture and the professor kept repeating themselves.

repetitive

Revisado: 09-02-21

at the end Steve says this is his first book so I cut him some slack and gave him 4 stars. it is so repetitive. sometimes I would just tune it out. the flow isn't very good. it's like it was disorganized or something. or maybe it seems that way because there are so many lying witnesses...

I listened to no stone unturned and it was much better.

but if you are looking for detailed info on the case, well you'll definitely are in the right place

Concise and informative

Revisado: 11-08-20

This book was free and I really thought it was going to be boring. However, it turned out to be quite interesting and informative. Definitely got me to thinking.

Weird...but in a really great way

Revisado: 07-25-18

This book...well, it just wasn't what I expected. Probably should read the full description next time. Even though it wasn't what I was expecting, it was a very awesome read. I thought it was clever and unique. Can't wait to read the next book in the series and see where this all goes from here.

Very intriguing

Revisado: 06-29-18

Reader: This is the second book of the series, of course, so I am used to Julie's voice by now. At first it was a little annoying but I've listened to a few readers since then and I've come to appreciate her monotone voice during non-dialogue/non-intense scenes and then her gripping reading during intense scenes/dialogue. Her voices for different charaters are quite impressive as well.
Book: I really love the book. I kind of suspected a few of the big plot twists just from small clues in the first book, but there were still some surprises thrown in there. I really enjoy the imagery and character development that is characteristic of White's books. A few sex scenes, but I didn't find them silly or overwhelming. They were very well written and didn't take up too much of the story.
