Better Than I Thought!

Revisado: 09-04-15

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

The story was written well, the characters came off the page and the plot had some twists that surprised me.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Kind Worth Killing?

When the main character plotted their first murder as a teen and completely got away with it.

Have you listened to any of the narrators’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, NA

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, but it kept my attention.

Any additional comments?

Gets a little long in some spots, but overall a pretty good book. The main character is on the level of Amy in Gone Girl!

Pretty Interesting

Revisado: 02-25-13

Where does Harvest rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Middle of the road, not the best, but far from the worst.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The main character, she showed grit and determination, albeit there were times when she did get a bit out of control, crossed lines most wouldn't. Made you think either she was really bold or really stupid.

What about George Guidall’s performance did you like?

The voice range, did males and females pretty good.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No

Could Not Follow

Revisado: 02-25-13

What disappointed you about The Devil Colony?

The story was all over the place. And strange/weird.

Would you ever listen to anything by James Rollins again?

I am willing to give all authors a 2nd chance. It could have just been this particular book.

What didn’t you like about Peter Jay Fernandez’s performance?

The reader was fine, may have been the material.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Confusion

A Bit Too Much In The Wrong Way

Revisado: 12-05-12

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

No, it was just TOO unbelievable, sorry. Don't want to give away the story, but he's an FBI agent, she knows several of his friends AND family members, has written best-selling books about them and they NEVER met each other? There are more "too good to be true" issues with this novel, it was just a bit too much. If some of those things were not in the book, the story would have been pretty good, it was just overdone in my opinion.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

Not surprised really, too many things pointed to it.

What does David de Vries bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Good narrative voice, it did make the purchase worth it.

Could you see Full Disclosure being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

It would need some editing. One choice would be Christopher Noth and Anne Hathaway.

Ho- Hum

Revisado: 10-03-12

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Yes and no. Most of the characters were male and the narrator was female attemtping to also pull off Russian accents for male characters, began to grate on the nerves.

What did you like best about this story?

It was an interesting twist to the story of what happened to the Romanov family. Quite surprising actually and believable.

What didn’t you like about Kate Reading’s performance?

Her attempt at narrating for male characters with Russian accents.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Possibly, it would have to move along faster.

Any additional comments?

The story took a while to develop, too long, last 1/4 of the book was the best part. Could have been better, the story line was rather good. Better choice of naarator needed for this particular story.

Very Good Book!

Revisado: 09-02-12

What did you love best about Defending Jacob?

I enjoyed the fact that the book was not predictable and that the characters were not just your run of the mill characters. The author and narrator brought life to them.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The main character, Andy Barber. He was a character that was complex, all of his secrets and the story of his past did not come out too quickly, so you "learned" about the character throughout the book.

Have you listened to any of Grover Gardner’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No.

If you could take any character from Defending Jacob out to dinner, who would it be and why?

Mr. Lajudas, the prosecutor. I would want to ask him what were the real motives for prosecuting the case? Did he really believe in the guilt of the suspect or was he trying to get a big win to boost his career?

Any additional comments?

This was my first audible book and I enjoyed both the book and the narrator. I have purchased more books, made a wish list and really gotten in to audible books because of my first experience with this book, author and narrator.
