How did the Audible AI choose this for me?

Revisado: 06-13-24

Female drivel, but one smart enough to be an aerospace engineer apparently. Not a glimmer of reality to be found in this Harlequin Romance. I am sure there is a vast audience that would love this book, but how did it get on my recommended list?!

Old story, new way of telling it.

It’s the podcast version of Fire Starter told while running a half marathon. For me, it worked. Fun with minimal investment!

Loved this one!

Revisado: 11-09-23

A gripping and imaginable dilemma for our very tech savvy youth. This is a modern day Clockwork Orange that has me watching my own teen for “influenced” behavior. The story is great. The performances, so believable. And the message…that, for all our possible avenues of personal interaction, we are more disconnected than ever.

A surprisingly good listen!

Revisado: 11-03-23

At first, I was disappointed in the depth of the story. After all a college student interviewing a convicted murderer on his deathbed could go in many directions exploring deeply held prejudices. The exceptional narration keeps it rolling along pleasantly enough and some sections truly paint a picture (like the outfit constructed of hip waders and couch stuffing). Then I decided to listen as though this really were an account given by a college student for a required writing class and that made the whole thing much more promising. Like reading a first essay of now well published author, a bit wobbly because they haven’t quite got their feet under them yet. In the hands of a more masterful writer it might have been a fuller story, but then it might be just a story.

Hard to listen to without blaming the victim.

Revisado: 07-12-23

The victims in this suffered immensely without a doubt. However, hearing of the cost of a young woman’s wonder lust to everyone else in this story is a first world problem that generates very little sympathy from me. I once wondered around my home country telling all I was orphaned so that my bad decisions didn’t become my parents problems. The world is a wonderful and dangerous place that you should not go to unless you’re prepared to be accountable for every step and misstep taken.

Having said all that, I would be more than willing to pull the trigger in the firing squad on her kidnappers.

Recycling at its worst.

It has already been said in other reviews that this book is a down cycle of Odd Thomas. I listened to it twice just to see if I missed something. Sadly, no.

When did Koontz become a romance writer?

Revisado: 12-12-22

I can honestly say it left me wanting more, more of his old stuff like Dark Rivers of the Heart or One Door away from Heaven. Sorry Dean, but this is like a remix of songs that were never popular.

Like eating at a truck stop cafe, best around 2 am when every place else is closed.

So it’s no Grisham, but there are moments that have you cheering on the home team. I enjoyed the portrayal of life in a Midwest town where people grow up and build a life. The spare no expense out of town law firm is overdone and the trial outcome unbelievable. A good editor could do a lot for this author.

Fun!

Perfect for an afternoon of cleaning with your AirPods on and a vacuum running. Like Mac & cheese; nutritionally deficient, but satisfying nonetheless.

3 hours longer than it needed to be.

With the right editor this could be a thrilling modern take on a Gothic theme. Sadly, Mary Shelley she isn’t. The narrator kept me listening though, and that is saying something!
