Over Hyped

Would you try another book from Gillian Flynn and/or Julia Whelan and Kirby Heyborne ?

No

How could the performance have been better?

The narrator, Julia Whelan, portrayed her character unrealistically. I don't know anyone who talks the way the character talks.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

No

Any additional comments?

I wish I could have saved my credit and used my time listening or reading another book. None of the characters were likable and very superficial. I tried holding on to to find a redeeming character, but was left disappointed.

Disappointing

Revisado: 07-29-12

What would have made Bad Boy Brawly Brown better?

The should have been depth of characters and story line. Since the story line and characters were not fully developed it seemed very unrealistic that he would put himself, family, friends and job for a friend's stepson that he didn't have all that strong of a connection. Payment for almost dying, breaking the law, witnessing several murders and hurting both men and women is a dinner.

What could Walter Mosley have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

The characters were unrealistic and superficial. Women are portrayed as vixens and objects. Left me wondering what kind of women influenced the author. As an African American woman who grew up in Los Angeles, I thought I could make some connection with the characters. Unfortunately, I felt no connection to the characters. By the end, I didn't really care what happened to Brawly.

What about M. E. Willis’s performance did you like?

Narrator did an excellent job reading this novel.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Bad Boy Brawly Brown?

Throughout this book, the author refers to Mouse who is assumed dead. He never surfaces but is constantly mentioned and never seems to really add to the plot. Further development of this part should have been made.

Any additional comments?

Save your credit on this one.

Buy the Unabridged Version

Revisado: 09-04-10

I truly enjoyed this book but agree with the previous reviewer. In order to get a full appreciation of the chracters and storyline, you need the unabridged version. This is my first experience with Edward Rutherfurd novel and I loved it. I enjoyed it so much, that I am going to purchase the unabridged version.
