It’s been a good run

Revisado: 06-01-23

This will be my last Jack Reacher book. When the series began Reacher was much more of a reluctant hero. Now it’s as if he is roaming the countryside looking for someone to beat on. This book was entertaining but rather unbelievable (especially the logistics of opening the prison door, give me a break). The entire book just seemed lazy, the characters were strange and so underwhelming. This was not a good book. I would not recommend it to a Jack Reacher fan.

So close.

Revisado: 03-31-22

I enjoyed this story right up to the last 45 minutes of the listen. The storyline was good. The narrator did a very good job. Her accents were not ridiculous as many narrators are. The struggles of the characters were solid and kept me interested. The struggles of the children were a little difficult to listen to at times but that’s because I love kids and it mad me so angry. Human trafficking is real and all around us. This book is a reminder to “if you see something, say something”. Now, for the negative. Spoiler Alert: When the child was seen tied up in the truck and a gun was pulled on the trucker and NOTHING was done! Sorry, just don’t buy it. And then this lady who has the presence of mind to notice a light out instead of calling the police or FBI instead arms herself with a compound bow and is able to carry it in such a way that no one sees it!? Sorry, it seems as if the author was trying to discover the most unbelievable way for our hero to save the day. It just seemed a little forced to me. Almost as if the author was searching for a way to wrap this thing up.

Overall, I am glad I listened to this book. I would recommend it. Believe me, with over 500 books in my library, there are much worse out there.

Thank you

Appropriately I finished this book on Veterans Day. As an American we should never forget the sacrifices made by so many to fight a this war. Thank you to every veteran. Thank you for collecting these stories before they are lost forever.

A happy accident

Revisado: 11-09-21

I accidentally purchased this title but I am certainly glad I did. First, what a surprise to get two titles for the price of one and both of such great quality. The stories never dragged, never felt the lull which is sometimes felt in courtroom titles. The author did a great job with making you feel the struggle and helpless feeling of the character. I recommend this title and I am happy about my accidental purchase.

Something strange with the sound.

Revisado: 08-22-21

Not sure if it is the reader’s cadence or the recording but it seemed to “pulse” which became more noticeable as the reading went on. Not terribly distracting, just noticeable.

Profanity?

Revisado: 07-01-21

There is a review that this book contains profanity? It is NOT true. It could have been a book filled with profanity but it was not. Was this the best book in this category? Not by a long shot, but it was also a book I wouldn’t be ashamed or embarrassed to listen to with my older kids nearby. The lead characters are Christian, if that is offends you then you may want to pass on this book. It definitely would rate a PG on my scale.

Waiting

Revisado: 04-13-21

I kept waiting for something to happen, anything. This was one of the most boring storylines I have experienced in some time. The main characters were not likable or intriguing. Sorry, not a winner.

Not a very good book

Revisado: 10-16-18

This book is not very good. First of all, the story is not very interesting. Secondly, the characters were boring and not very likable. I just wanted it to be over. To include this in the Scott Harvath series is a real stretch. He makes a few appearances but has no impact.
It’s just not a good book. Sorry Brad Thor, you missed the mark with this one.

I don't want to vacation with Amos Decker!

If you could sum up The Fallen in three words, what would they be?

If I could sum up The Fallen in three words they would be, Twists, Enjoyable, Worthwhile

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

I enjoyed the ending. It put me in mind of some of the old 80's detective shows where the detective had to wrap everything up for everyone. I can't say that anything shocked me about the ending, I didn't think "Wow, I didn't see that one coming."

What about Kyf Brewer and Orlagh Cassidy ’s performance did you like?

I enjoy their performances. I enjoy having male characters performed by males and female characters performed by a female reader. Not trying to be sexist it's just a preference.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I really liked and was moved by the interaction between Decker and Zoe on the stairs. Since this is my 3rd Decker title I really could sense a growth of the character in this moment.

Any additional comments?

Since this is my 20th Baldacci title in my library I am an obvious fan. I liked this book although it has not been my favorite. It is worth the time investment and I would recommend it.

To be continued!

Revisado: 09-13-17

Overall, I liked this book. It started slow and to be honest a little confusing. You have got to stick with it. But then... to be continued! Will I get book 2? Well, I guess I have to if I want to see how the story comes out. 😕
