Great narrator

Revisado: 12-10-24

Pretty good story, if a little far fetched. Interesting characters made the story worthwhile. Narrator made it a joy to listen to.

Great writing and characters but....

Revisado: 11-30-24

I don't know about this one. Good writing but the book didn't seem to fit neatly into any box. It was solid grit lit but then often went into these stream of consciousness jags. Frankly, I stuck it out with this one, but by the end was glad it was over.

This is a good one! Surprising ending.

Revisado: 11-24-24

I love a good coming of age story and this fit the bill. No spoilers here, but I will say that I didn't see the ending coming. Overall great character development, and an interesting story. You can tell the author did a lot of research on this one. Very believable.

Great book. Great narrator.

Revisado: 11-24-24

I really enjoyed this one. Great characters, and an interesting story. MacLeod Andrews is one of my favorite narrators. To me he sounds like a cross between Walton Goggins and Matthew McConaughey. Perfect for this genre. I was excited to see that the author has quite a catalogue. I'll be listening to or reading more of his books.

Hard pass on this one. Couldn't do it.

Revisado: 11-24-24

Loved his first book about the narcoleptic PI and thought this would be worth a shot. It was horrible. Wish I had both my money and time back. Gave up after 2 hours of listening. Made it through 4 stories. Indulgent, pointless and incomplete. Really read like some stories the author had laying around and decided "what the hell, I'll publish these." Very disappointed. If this were the first thing I had read by the author it wouldn't be such a big deal, but knowing what great writing he is capable of made this a let down.

Just a great book. Great narration & characters!

Really a beautiful book. This is the third book by Sean Dietrich that I have listened to. Everyone has been beautiful. I was initially hesitant about this one as it is narrated by the author. That's usually a deal breaker for me. But not this time. The author did an amazing job with the narration. Each character was so well developed. Definitely recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of great southern literature.

Great book. Complex Characters

Revisado: 08-17-23

This was a great book. I wanted to hate the characters because they were so real and so flawed, but like our own loved ones and friends I wound up with love for them. A truly well written book. I look forward to more from this author. Narrator was great as well.

Fantastic! Top 10 book for me

Revisado: 08-06-23

Beautifully written book, amazing narration. Robin Miles has become one of my favorite narrators. You know the narrator is good when the performance compels you to seek out other performances of her work. Dennis Lehane is amazing. I’ve read or listened to just about everything he’s published. His ability to develop complex flawed characters is a gift. They are so much like real people that the reader immediately becomes invested in them. Can’t recommend this book enough!

Horrible... don't wast your time.

Revisado: 06-04-23

This was a sloppy effort. Just a dumb plot, horrible translation, illogical. The only bright spot was Ari Fliakos. I will listen to anything he narrates, but I felt for the guy having to read this slop. It sounded like a crappy novel written in German, put into google translate and plopped down in front of the narrator on a dare. Yet, I stuck with until the end. Please consider my seven hours a public service, and learn from my mistake.

Great book!

Enjoyed every minute of it! Had my doubts that this would be a solid offering as so many celebs turn out tripe. This guy can write, really write. Amazing character development. Amazing story!
