Repetitive and faux deep

Revisado: 11-13-24

klavin really gets carried away with the repetition angle of trying to make his point. Not to mention, how the main character is really not that likeable and a pretty shitty assassin...I mean English professor. eyeroll!!!

wasted my time

Revisado: 08-26-23

this book is overly boring and drags on and of course the evil white man is out to kill every "minority". the narration is subpar as well. don't waste your time.

Ridiculous

Revisado: 08-23-23

The story starts out OK, not great but not bad. It starts to get better after the first death but then quickly heads south. The main character is ok but he is all over the place with his attitude. The "investigation" was convoluted and ridiculous. The "reveal" is pretty lame and not that interesting. The narrator isn't terrible but he has some pretty weird/bad inflection points throughout the book. It becomes a little obnoxious but not a major issue.
Not to mention all the liberal talking points the author makes sure to hit!
I've never read/listened to Baldacci but if this is the measure of all his work, then I don't care to find more.

Too Convoluted

Revisado: 06-29-23

The overall story had way too much going on and it seemed like the author was trying to fit way too much into a single book. That's not even mentioning the amount of dumb things the supposedly veteran secret service agent did. You can also see the twists coming a mile away. Jay Snyders narration was pretty much the only saving grace for this book.

No likeable characters

Revisado: 06-19-23

I was pretty disappointed with this book. I didn't like any of the characters and honestly couldn't care less about them. The main character was the least likeable person of any story I've read/listen to. He is pretty much an asshole to everyone.

Then there is the "Bad" guys who are seemingly clueless yet are supposed to be bad asses. Not to mention the extremely ridiculous mix of reasons for what they are doing.

Also, the twist can be seen coming from a mile away. This really was only partially worth the credit because of Jay Snyders narration.

Awesome!

Revisado: 06-13-23

I really enjoyed the overall story. I liked the way of showing the angels and demons fighting in the background as the people went about their lives. It was almost like 2 stories in one. The narrator wasn't bad but not the best I've heard. I'll definitely listen to the next one!

Good for what it is.

Revisado: 06-02-23

I really liked the concept of the 4 different but connected stories. The overall theme is pretty intriguing as well.
1st story- Was ok and had some interesting things bit the narration wasn't the best.
2nd story- Was better by a little. The narration was ok but not the best.
3rd story- Was the worst to me. It was pretty boring and the narration was way to over dramatic.
4th story- Was probably the best of them all. the narrator was good(mostly because he didn't try too hard to make up voices like the others.) Plus the story it's self was way more interesting.
all in all, it's worth the listen...especially since it's included.

An OK finish to a great trilogy

Revisado: 05-30-23

I'm not a fan of what the did with Jason's character but I really enjoyed this trilogy as a whole. Of course, Jay Snyder does an amazing job with the narration.

Worlds worst detective!

Revisado: 12-14-22

I always feel weird writing reviews, especially negative ones, about books. Seeing as I could never write one.
Having said that, these books are just not that good.
I love detective mystery books and these being a 4 in 1 set, sealed the deal. It was all down hill after that.

As a whole, the "mysterys" were just plain boring. Every single one is about and elderly person. It just gets old, no pun intended. Not to mention the narrator was terrible. Some of the voices he used were laughable and others where just plain cringe worthy.

Then you get to the world's worst detective. He is constantly told by others how good he his but can't seem to figure out some of the simplest things!
Example - his sister informs him she has info on Q.D. He's genuinely confused on who/What Q.D. is. His sister informs him that she got the information HE ASKED FOR on Quincy Dunn, the main freaking suspect in their case! In a later book he is in the hospital as his sister is about to give birth. An older couple shows up to the room and introduces themselves. Giving their first and LAST name. He can't seem to put 2 and 2 together to realize it's his sister's baby daddy's parents! These are only a few examples of the terrible writing is.
