Why all the good reviews?

Revisado: 12-17-18

This story was totally unbelievable. A young girl abandoned by her entire family survives on her own in the marsh. Even more incredible, although she can't read and doesn't have any friends, she knows the names of all the birds and plants in the marsh, and even what part of the bird each feather comes from. Something a trained ornithologist probably couldn't do. I kept listening thinking A, because maybe something changed to make everyone love the story but it never did and B, to find out who dunnit.

Couldn't finish, narrator was terrible

Revisado: 12-09-18

I can't say if this is a good book or not. Within about 30 minutes I had to quit listening because the narrator was so bad.

They wouldn't do that.

Revisado: 11-16-18

Thats what I kept telling myself throughout this entire story. The actions were mostly unbelievable and Mary's reactions were juvenile.

Don't understand the hype

Revisado: 09-11-18

I've been seeing they rave reviews for this for years and finally decided to give it a try. I couldn't get through it. I'll just have to accept that Gillian Flynn isn't for me since I didn't like Gone Girl much either.

Kept me interested

Revisado: 09-11-18

I enjoyed listening to this book. I wish parts of had more detail. It seemed to skip right over lots of things. Very little mention of how grueling it must have been, more like a walk in the park. But a good story.

Not one of Karin Slaughter's best

Revisado: 09-11-18

Way too much internal dialogue and not enough action. And the "heroine" was such a whiny, indecisive, doormat. Definitely not a story that would bring me back for more. Fortunately I know Karin can do better.

Too much violence for me.

Revisado: 06-26-18

With one little blip at the beginning this started out as good story. But then it just seemed to be violent act after violent act. It seemed the entire last part of the story was people getting killed, beaten, shot, stabbed, tortured. I'm not a prude but it was too much for me.

Predictable and Bland

Revisado: 06-25-18

This is the most predictable story I've ever heard. Every situation was solved to the good of the hero's and in record time. The main characters were all sickly sweet and any little conflict was settled quickly and for the good of all. Nora's writing is usually better than this. I would give this one a pass.

I guess I've moved on from Eve.

Revisado: 04-17-18

I used to really enjoy this series but either I've changed or Eve has. I've been struggling with the last few books and I didn't even finish this one. I could list lots of reasons but since they mostly have to do with me I'll just stick to a few. 1- For someone so intelligent Eve can be pretty stupid at times. She couldn't figure out the seasons on the the other side of the world? And she worries about how the waffle iron got it's name? 2- She seems to be rude for no reason now. There are too many examples of this to list. 3 - Why is she so angry all the time? I can be grumpy but I get tired of people who take it to an extreme.
So, I'll give up on Eve but will keep reading Nora.
