Blackwater is the saga of a small town, Perdido, Alabama, and Elinor Dammert, the stranger who arrives there under mysterious circumstances on Easter Sunday, 1919. On the surface, Elinor is gracious, charming, anxious to belong in Perdido, and eager to marry Oscar Caskey, the eldest son of Perdido's first family. But her beautiful exterior hides a shocking secret. Beneath the waters of the Perdido River, she turns into something terrifying, a creature whispered about in stories that have chilled the residents of Perdido for generations.

Unlistenable

This would have to be an incredible story to make it worth suffering through this narration. It isn't.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 475
Probably the most shocking of the Brontës' novels, this novel had an instant and phenomenal success and is widely considered to be one of the first sustained feminist novels. A mysterious widow, Mrs. Helen Graham, arrives at Wildfell Hall, a nearby old mansion. A source of curiosity for the small community, the reticent Helen and her young son Arthur are slowly drawn into the social circles of the village.

Good novel with poor production
Revisado: 04-10-14
It's a solid, though occasionally depressing, story. However, the production or audio quality is poor with frequent changes in sound and voice modulation. It does not seem professionally produced as most Audible titles.

STOP. You should not have touched this flyer with your bare hands. NO, don't put it down. It's too late. They're watching you. My name is David Wong. My best friend is John. Those names are fake. You might want to change yours. You may not want to know about the things you'll read on these pages, about the sauce, about Korrok, about the invasion, and the future. But it's too late. You touched the book. You're in the game. You're under the eye. The only defense is knowledge. You need to read this book, to the end. Even the part with the bratwurst. Why?

Horrible
Revisado: 03-18-13
What disappointed you about John Dies at the End?
The humor of this book is entirely based on the accumulation of gore. The more over-the-top the violence, the funnier? Also, one of the author's favorite adjectives is 'retarded'. Haven't we outgrown this, yet, Society?
Has John Dies at the End turned you off from other books in this genre?
No, probably not. I'm not terribly squeamish - just need some more smart humor to go with it, if the goal is a laugh.
What three words best describe Stephen R. Thorne’s performance?
Competent, varied, suitable
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
One concept, involving a character slipping in the time continuum while trying to contact another character, was pretty clever. This was early on in the book and nothing else really flashed as unique.
Any additional comments?
I can't believe someone thought this was a good idea for a movie.

New York Times best-selling author Laurie R. King has won or been nominated for every major award in mystery writing. King's beloved sleuth Mary Russell here attempts to reverse her legendary husband, Sherlock Holmes', greatest failure.

to be continued
Revisado: 08-03-09
You have to endure an awful lot of non-mystery padding (a couple of hours describing travel, for instance) in order to reach the 'to be continued' at the end. While it's not a bad story, I'm not fond of what the Mary Russell series does to my impression of Sherlock Holmes. The biggest problem, though, is the continued ending. There's a perfect opportunity to wrap the story neatly at the end, but I can't help feel like they want some more of my money. I won't be joining them for the remainder.

Hard to rate accurately
Revisado: 05-19-07
The narration was just too horrible to listen to the whole book, making it impossible to judge on the merits of the content. The accents are laughable and the reader seems bored at all other times; you can sense the places where they edited out the heavy sighs. If you're interested in the character, Audible also has the Mystery of the Yellow Room, which is well read and intriguing.
