interesting characters, unexpected plot twists

Revisado: 12-15-24

Initially, I thought I would not like this, but I am glad I gave it a go. It is a very entertaining book. Good writing, amusing, witty, unconventional. The narration was very good and enjoyable

Rambling, incoherent, uninteresting

Revisado: 12-22-23

This book was mostly a waste of time and money. Except for the first chapter, it is a haphazard kaleidoscope of various and sundry mentally ill people who are delusional, pathetic, hapless and boring. There are no explainations or insight offered. There is little attempt at analysis, theorizing, or prognostication. I had the impression that the author had a vision that was taking shape when he began the book, but at some point, he gave up on it and instead just cobbled together a stream of chance encounters and experiences he had on his road trip across country. I did not learn anything from listening to this book. It was a disappointment.

as addictive as crack

I never tire of Mick Herron novels or of Gerald Doyle's excellent narration. Laughs, suspense, plot twists, action, surprises. Simply the best!

Utterly enjoyable!

Revisado: 06-08-22

This novel excells on many levels: wit, story, humor, surprise, suspense,imagination, characters. I finished it in two days. The exquisite prose of Mick Herron is perfectly paired with the superb narration of Gerald Doyle to produce a great audiobook!

Extremely Entertaining

Revisado: 04-06-22

Exquisite language, acerbic British humor, farcical and suspenseful in equal and ample measure, interesting characters and a great narrator. Utterly fun!

Mildly interesting...

Revisado: 03-21-22

I found this piece interesting, but not terribly illuminating. More of what I have known and expected. The mystery Giuliani who has become a parody of himself and a train wreck of a human being cannot be resolved in such a short sketch. The parts of the book that zeroed in on the relationship between Ailes and Rudy and their world view were the best.

Disappointing

Revisado: 03-18-22

The first chapter was very good. It was all down hill from there. Not much of a story; more like some litany of wishful thinking. Cardboard characters. Not much plot. Some good ideas but not realistic or convincing. I struggled to get thru this novel, hoping for some redeeming value that was never realized. The narration with the multiple voices and accents was poor and actually detracted from what story there was.

Interesting view into the 19 century mind..

Revisado: 08-11-21

Some great action scenes, some tedious 19 century moralizing. Very nice to ponder how a 19 century mind fantasized 18th century frontier life. Dialog was very quaint and amusing. Narration was good.

Fun and suspense - not very believable

Revisado: 07-27-21

If you are looking for something light and entertaining, you will enjoy this audiobook. The narrator was alright, you just have to set the speed up by about 20%.
