Historia
Professor Hans Rekke is a world authority on interrogation techniques, capable of dizzying feats of logic and observation. He was born into wealth and power and has a picture-perfect wife and daughter. But he also has a fragile psyche that falls apart under pressure. Micaela Vargas is a street-smart police officer, the daughter of Chilean political refugees, who grew up in the projects on the outskirts of Stockholm and has two brothers on the wrong side of the law. She is tenacious and uncompromising, and desperate to prove herself to her fellow cops.

Strong character development
Revisado: 04-26-25
Strong character development permits much of the story to be told by the characters rather than a narrator. I enjoyed the twists and turns of the plot very much. I also enjoyed the writing style.

Historia
Lisbeth Salander—the heart of Larsson’s two previous novels—lies in critical condition, a bullet wound to her head, in the intensive care unit of a Swedish city hospital. She’s fighting for her life in more ways than one: if and when she recovers, she’ll be taken back to Stockholm to stand trial for three murders. With the help of her friend, journalist Mikael Blomkvist, she will not only have to prove her innocence, but also identify and denounce those in authority.

Spellbinding intrigue and realistic characters
Revisado: 04-02-25
I enjoyed this story immensely. The intrigue is intricate and moves in unpredictable looping threads among characters who are realistic and relatable. An excellent read.

I loved that the characters were not perfect, but they wanted to be. The story drew me in and held me right up to the very end.

Book two left off with Gregor reading the Prophecy of Blood: a prophecy that calls for Gregor and Boots to return to the Underland to help ward off a plague. But this time, Gregor's mother refuses to let Gregor return to the Underland...until the rat Ripred assures the family that Gregor and Boots are needed only for a short meeting, which the crawlers will attend only if their "princess" Boots is present.

Vivid descriptions, believable characters, engaging dialogue.
Revisado: 01-05-25
My own world slipped away at the moment I began listening to the Gregor series. The stories are complex, unique, and enthralling. The characters are real and believable, with real emotions and personalities. An engaging saga of loyalty, betrayal, love, and hatred. I highly recommend all of the books in this series, and enjoyed Gregor and The Curse of the Warmbloods.

Revisado: 12-16-24
What a lovely, intricate, and fascinating book. I love everything about The Night Circus… the premise, the characters, the vivid imagery and perfect details. Well done, Ms Morgenstern... you have conveyed your own vision in a beautifully written and strangely believable story. Well done, Mr Dale…your expression and nuance of meaning and emotion bring The Night Circus to life. Thank you, Random House, for making available this delightful tale.

Powerful!
Revisado: 06-17-13
This book deals with a very sensitive subject in a very sensitive manner. Still Alice follows the progression of Early Onset Alzheimer's Disease in a woman in her fifties. I laughed and wept while listening. It helped me understand my Mother's experience with Alzheimer's Disease and lightened my expectations should I also develop the disease. The book is powerful and poignant and I loved it!

Historia
The story of The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is very difficult to describe. Usually we give some information about the audiobook, but in this case we think that would spoil the listening. We think it's important that you start to listen without knowing what it is about.

Hauntingly believable
Revisado: 05-29-13
This book touched deep chords within me that abhor the mistreatment of one being by another. The story is poignant, heartbreaking. There is no adequate justice for the wrongs suffered by the Jews, or any other people who have been the victims of a holocaust. This book helped me reconcile my emotions with those of the author. Well done!

Everyone has been trying to keep Gregor from seeing the final prophecy, The Prophecy of Time. It says something awful: It calls for the warrior’s death. The warrior being Gregor, of course. Now, an army of rats is quickly approaching and Gregor’s mom and little sister, Boots, are still in Regalia. The entire existence of the Underland is in Gregor’s hands and time is running out. There is a code that must be cracked, a new princess to contend with Gregor’s burgeoning dark side, and a war designed to end all wars.

I loved Gregor from the opening of the first book to the closing of the last book. Every scrap and tussle proved that Gregor is a very real boy in a weird world under the city of New York. I wanted the series to go on and on. Keep writing, Suzanne, you are a gifted storyteller.

I should not exist. But I do. Eva and Addie started out the same way as everyone else - two souls woven together in one body, taking turns controlling their movements as they learned how to walk, how to sing, how to dance. But as they grew, so did the worried whispers. Why aren't they settling? Why isn't one of them fading? The doctors ran tests, the neighbors shied away, and their parents begged for more time. Finally Addie was pronounced healthy and Eva was declared gone. Except, she wasn't...

Revisado: 05-25-13
I very much enjoyed listening to What's Left of Me. The character development is strong, the story has many nooks and crannies to explore, and the theme seems real - at what cost the burying of a part of oneself? I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a view of an alternate reality.

On a warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy Dunne’s fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made when Nick’s clever and beautiful wife disappears. Husband-of-the-Year Nick isn’t doing himself any favors with cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of his wife’s head, but passages from Amy's diary reveal the alpha-girl perfectionist could have put anyone dangerously on edge.

The twists and turns in Gone Girl kept me rapt until the very last word was read. I could not predict the story, couldn't guess what the characters would do next. Thrilling and chilling to the end. Excellent listen!
