Two for the Price of One

Revisado: 03-07-22

Mr. Horowitz got me with the TV series Foyle's War. This story just exposes his brilliance even more. The characters grab you, and the plot never fails to surprise. Halfway through the book it is revealed that there will be no ending, the main character, being an author, is murdered. Well there is, but it has the added juice of both solving the mystery of the authors death plus. The biblical references were wonderful.

Remembering the 60's

Revisado: 09-26-21

First time reading this author, but it won't be the last. Mr. Hart develops characters, who are both heroic and flawed. While we all strive for the former, we can certainly relate to the latter. The fact that I am the parent of twins, and that I am a VietNam era veteran brought so many emotions to my eyes. I also appreciated the voice of the youngest brother who was able to capture some of the best qualities of his older brothers, and became increasingly wise and courageous throughout the novel.

The only drawback to the conclusion was that the mother was left off the hook in the end. She was clearly the least admirable of all the characters, and she did not have to pay a price. I guess told by a male, it's hard to put a mother's feet to the fire.

Finally, it is the first time I have listened to a Mr. Stillwell presentation, five stars for the intonation and character specific voices. Totally enjoyed his voice.

Excellent but a Little Predictable

Revisado: 07-15-21

It took a while to get to know the characters, but once I knew them, I loved them. I was caught up, but I shortly figured out the ultimate conclusion. There was an interesting spin on how it got there. I anxiously look forward to more from this author. As always Scott was exciting and preformed a wide variety of characters with convincing voices.

Gentle Genius

Come back Kurt, while I listen with fascination, I miss your Studio 360. Why can’t you be president, or at least take Kushner’s job. Thank you for your clear voice and vision.

Well told

I'm a huge Scott Brick fan, and LB gives him a good vehicle here. Smooth listening, scary scenario.

Remembering Sagan’s Contact

Revisado: 08-15-20

While it took a while to develop, the ending was special. Being a widower for five years, I yearn for it to be true, but... First Grumley book, but not my last. I guess that is the best review. Finally, I found this book by searching Scott Brick reads, do I need to say more?

Only Steinbeck can draw

Revisado: 07-05-19

Morality in Steinbeck's paintings are drawn with an amazing array of tints. The characters in this story are at least three dimensional. Beautifully told story of the inner world of people we know. Loved it, and then the ending, which for Steinbeck is always an exclamation point!

I enjoyed the character development.

Revisado: 04-02-19

The problem, and it is a small one, is that when you have so many interesting characters, it is difficult to wrap them all up in a neat package at the end. Scott Brick is my absolute performer.

Balson's Narrative Always Excellent

Revisado: 10-21-17

I love to listen to Balson tales. They are moving, both in reality and emotion. The only small problem with this tale is that I kind of figured out the ending a bit too early. The characters, especially Liam are full and honest. I highly recommend, and anticipate Balsom's next Taggert story.

Guidall is always good!

Revisado: 09-13-17

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

If you are, like me, obsessed with what happened in the middle of the twentieth century, you will follow me into this world with fascination and horror. Clearly a time that I just can't understand, no matter how many of these books I read.
